The American never found himself in the ring, as Nielsen's jab landed about every five seconds. Steele survived the first round, without getting knocked down, but in the second he got plenty of chances to examine the floor of the ring. Don Steele was aple to survive two knockdowns, but the third time around he stayed down and was unconscious for several minutes.
Referre Steve Smoger should have stopped the fight earlier. Don Steele is now 42-1, and afterwards he demanded a second chance. He should not get it, because he's simply not got enough. Brian Nielsen's next opponent may me Bruce Seldon.
The former WBA Champion is planning a comeback and has approached Nielsen's promoter to arrange a fight.
