Mike Tyson wins after Golota walks outFormer World heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson beat Poland's giant Andrew Golota with a technical knockout in their 10-round non-title fight in Michigan last night. And then, as with most Tyson or Golota fights, the fun started. Tyson landed with a series of overhand rights in the first two rounds and Golota refused to answer the bell for the third, angering about 16,000 fans. When the second round ended, Golota trudged back to his corner and would not take instructions from trainer Al Certo. After the bell rang for the third round, Golota refused to take his mouthpiece despite pleads of his cornermen. He shook his head several times as Certo tried to force the mouthpiece. Golota proceeded to stalk away from the ring as the crowd threw beverages at him. It was an embarrassing performance and fans continued to pelt him with beer, popcorn and soft drinks as he walked back to his locker room. Golota said he could not continue to fight because of a cut over his eye and claimed Tyson head butted him several times. "I was head butted, the referee did not respond. Everyone says I'm a dirty fighter, I don't know why there was no reprimand," said Golota.
