Jim Williams, his trainer, who wielded a pair of scissors he intended to use to snip the tape from Snipes' hands. Instead, the scissors accidentally opened a deep cut in Snipes' left forearm that required 40 stitches.		*While Holmes and Snipes were being interviewed by [[Howard Cosell]] after the fight, Holmes' brother Jake got into a fight with Snipes' manager, who thought the fight was stopped prematurely.
