LAS VEGAS -- The Nevada State Athletic Commission rejected last night an appeal by Mike Tyson's managers to replace Mitch Halpern as referee for tomorrow night's heavyweight title rematch with champion Evander Holyfield.
Luther Mack cast the only dissenting vote among the five commissioners at the hour-long hearing in which Tyson's co-managers protested the naming of Halpern, who worked last November's fight in which Holyfield scored a stunning 11th-round knockout.
