MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Lennox Lewis showed the bully who was boss.
Using a masterful left jab and landing his right hand at will, Lewis battered a befuddled MikeTyson before stopping him with a crashing right hand in the eighth round to keep his heavyweight titles Saturday night.
Tyson was bleeding from cuts over his eyes and from the nose when Lewis landed a punch that sent him sprawling on his back in Lewis' corner. Tyson tried to get up at the count of eight, getting to one knee, but was counted out.
It was a sudden end to a dominating performance in which Lewis overwhelmed the former champion from the opening bell.
Referee Eddie Cotton counted Tyson out at 2:25 of the eighth round.
