	Lou Savarese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Savarese ran his record to 36-0, with 30 knockouts, but he was a relatively unknown fighter: apart from the 1991 Kayo boxing trading card, no other type of media attempted to make Savarese's name a household one, partly because of the type of opposition he had met.
		So the Savarese management team came with an ingenious, and not very often seen, way to draw the public's attention towards Savarese: a Lou Savarese fan club was created, and, by the middle 1990s, the fan club was being advertised on major boxing magazines, such as Ring and KO.
		Savarese was knocked out thirty eight seconds into the first round by Tyson, but not before Tyson accidentally sent referee John Coyle to the floor, almost knocking the referee out with a punch to the back of his head.

	Las Vegas SUN: Savarese will look to stun Tyson in Scotland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Yet to hear Savarese confidently describe his chances -- and to see him aligned with a solid trainer in Jesse Reid -- perhaps the challenger is, as they say in Las Vegas, a live dog.
		Savarese, who is best known for losing a 12-round decision to George Foreman in 1997 and knocking out Buster Douglas in one round a year later, is 39-3.
		The fact that the fight's date changed three times didn't faze Savarese, who added that it was actually a benefit in that the delays enabled him to be at home for the April 23 birth of a son.

		A professional boxer for 11 years, Lou Savarese is not what you would call a household name.
		There was now a need for Savarese to post an eye-catching win which would propel him into the contender league that he had inhabited very briefly.
		Savarese had just two fights in 1999 - a life-and-death struggle with huge American Lance 'Mount' Whitaker in which he prevailed and a 10-round defeat at the hands of Michael Grant, who would later lose to Lennox Lewis.

	The Cyber Boxing Zone
		While Savarese is no world beater, it was fairly obvious to anyone who saw Douglas get kayoed after the bell by Louis Monaco a while back, that Buster is a mere shell of his former self.
		Savarese, for his part, takes home one of the ugliest and cheapest championship belts to ever be velcroed around the waist of a prize fighter.
		As Savarese left the ring, the inept announcers stated that "as new IBA Heavyweight Champion, Lou Savarese can go home and wait for the lucrative offers to come rolling in." Sadly, that might just be true.

	Cyber Boxing Zone -- News
		Although after the final bell, Savarese looked severely beaten (two cuts, bloody mouth and a terribly disfigured face), it was not was sensational performance that made him that way.
		But despite his courage, Savarese was equally unimpressive: firing few shots when he had chances inside, and showing that new conditioning trainer Tim Hallmark has a lot of work left to do.
		Williams was increasingly inactive in the last several rounds, and after Lou Duva and Ronnie Shields _begged_ him to win with a knockout in the tenth, Williams went out and instead ran from his opponent.

		Savarese then put Glesby and the television audience out of it's misery by landing a sharp one-two combo that finished Glesby (who never really got started).

		Yet a handsome and sweet- natured vegetarian, who hangs out in Greenwich Village and talks earnestly of his devout belief in the power of yoga and holistic healing, is not the kind of fighter you would readily back against a raging carnivore and brutal ear-muncher and puncher like Tyson.
		Savarese, instead, had to resign himself to the bitter loss of a huge payday.
		A stark indication of Savarese's own limitations unfolded in his three defeats: a points loss to the geriatric George Foreman, a fifth-round knockout beneath the moderate fists of David Izon and a comprehensive beating from Michael Grant, at Madison Square Garden a year ago yesterday.

	Cover Story: George Foreman beats Lou Savarese by Decision
		Savarese was younger, undefeated and just coming off his biggest win (a knockout over Buster Mathis, jr.), while Foreman has looked lackluster in his last five fights (yes, even in the Moorer fight), been inactive and getting older.
		This fight was supposed to be for the fringe WBU Heavyweight Championship, but because of disputes with their officials and referees, they didn't sanction the fight.
		Aside from losing the later rounds, Lou also hurt his chances of winning, when a point was taken away for low blows (though it was probably because of repeated rabbit punches earlier).

		Yet, "I think if Lou wins, he's likely to get a title shot quicker because Grant is perceived as a young lion and might be avoided," DiBella said.
		Savarese (39-2, 32 knockouts) has won three straight since getting knocked out by David Izon in 1997.
