Golota quits after second round; Tyson gets TKO

Mike Tyson is back near the top of the heavyweight division after scoring a second-round technical knockout of Andrew Golota at the Palaca of Auburn Hills on Friday. After taking two rounds of punishment from Tyson, Golota handed the victory to Tyson by refusing to come out for the third.

Golota ignored the pleas of his trainer Al Certo and simply walked away when Certo tried to put the mouthpiece in Golota's mouth. Golota was knocked down in the first round and suffered a concussion and neck injury.

Although Tyson indicated earlier in the week that this would be the last fight of his career, it his hard to imagine him walking away from potential eight-figure pay days against Evander Holyfield and heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.

By all rights, Golota's career as a contender should be considered over now.

Kings to pay Webber the max

The owners of the Sacramento Kings say money won't be an issue in their efforts to resign star forward Chris Webber.

"We're going to pay him the max. We're going to pay him more than any other team can pay him," said Joe Maloof, who runs the King's franchise.

The Kings were in Albuquerque - the Maloof family's hometown - to play Vancouver in a preseason exhibition game Friday night. Webber is in the final year of his contract with the Kings and has met with the Maloof brothers.
