To that point in the game Karnowski had had his butt handed to him & it was obvious Fews gameplan at that point was to get in Mika's head by slowing things down & put Karnowski in very high percentage positions against him.
Don't know if Mika's foul was called by the coaches or not--but man, it made Karnowski look as weak as ever. Both during & after the play you could see it in both he & Mika's faces. And the inadvertent ko shot to the giant's chin did even more damage in the same vein.
Mika simply owned him physically & mentally all game.
mutu.
