	Tyson chased Ratliff the entire first round before connecting early in the second with a vicious left uppercut that put Ratliff on the canvas. Ratliff managed to get to his feet at the count of nine, but Tyson swarmed over him again, throwing flurries of punches while Ratliff tried to escape along the ropes. A right hook shook Ratliff again and Tyson followed with a series of punches, the last a left hook that put Ratliff down again. Ratliff ~~sat stunned on the canvas~~ and referee Davey Pearl stopped the fight without beginning a count.
