Bout Summary
Tyson came out bobbing and weaving and threw mostly power shots upstairs. Colay looked to keep his distance and threw a few wide, rangy hooks. A left hook from Tyson sent Colay down hard on his back 27 seconds into the fight. Colay attempted to get to his feet and did at the count of nine, but struggled which led the referee to wave an end to the bout.
