TYSON V. SELDON, SEPT. 7, 1996: A fighter's courage tends to evaporate at the whisk of Tyson's fists; [Frank] Bruno's terror last March certainly was palpable. In any event, the second knockdown, moments later, was realized with a genuine left hook. [Bruce] Seldon, whose chin has been suspect ever since 1991 losses to Riddick Bowe and Oliver McCall, again fell face-first. He bounced up in a neutral corner and then, as the count reached eight, appeared to be performing the Macarena. He quickly assumed the posture of a noodle, and [Referee Richard] Steele pinned him against the post and stopped the fight.
