COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) _ Mike Tyson needed six rounds Saturday before stopping Brian Nielsen, the longest fight the former heavyweight champion has had since losing to Evander Holyfield five years ago.
Tyson bloodied the Dane in the second round and knocked him down in the third. But Nielsen fought gamely until the referee finally ended the fight because of his swollen left eye.
Tyson improved to 49-3 with two no decisions and 43 KOs. Nielsen dropped to 62-2 with 43 KOs.
``I tested him and he could not see,'' U.S. referee Steve Smoger said.
