It was Bowe who intentionally threw and landed a shot after the rd ended with the ref stepping between them; Tillery responded to Bowe's foul with a good kick in the @$$, so why was Tillery DQ'ed, but not Bowe? Favoritism.
Later Tillery was going on saying his mama taught him some folks just need a good kick in the butt sometimes.

Tillery's was in the news just recently on weapons charges (sawed-off shotgun).
Plea offer from prosecutors where Tillery would have served 2 years, but he rejected the offer opting for trial. He was sentenced to 9 years instead.

Bowe sure was looking good at the time of their fight though.
Bowe and Rock Newman double-teaming Tillery.
Yep, never heard of Rock Newman before Bowe arrived on the scene, and never heard of Newman again after Bowe was done.
Bowe was often pretty dirty in there, but he was good. Wasted potential, he could have done so much more. Winning the linear Heavyweight Championship is a hell-of-an accomplishment...but he could have held it longer with more discipline.
coulda woulda shoulda.
Tuesday Night Fights was my favorite program.
