"Savon has done that magnificently," says Stevenson. "But he's not a technical fighter." And he has begun to pay for it. He won the world title in 1997 only because his opponent, who outpointed him 14-4 in the final, was later disqualified. The same year, Savon was knocked out in a tournament at home. As a result...
