	:Tyson connected at will, sometimes out of the low-crouched stance that distinguished his evasive abilities in his prime. He staggered Bruno early in the first round and cut his left eyelid toward the end of that round. He staggered him again in the second, and in the third Tyson unleashed a 13-punch sequence that started with a right hand to Bruno's body and ended with a left hook that sent Bruno crashing into the ropes, where referee Mills Lane interceded, stopping the fight. Bruno had offered absolutely nothing, and Tyson had rekindled memories of his quick and vicious stoppages of the past. Suddenly, after less than seven minutes of action, you couldn't find a single Union Jack in the crowd.		:Tyson connected at will, sometimes out of the low-crouched stance that distinguished his evasive abilities in his prime.
