I really thought Hoylfield out boxed Lewis this night and Lewis underestimated him. I will look at it again this week as i haven't seen it in a while.
were you stoned at the time??
Lewis still dominated the large majority of the fight.
Holyfield adapted to lennoxs style much more in the 1st fight agreed...but he still lost!
Nope, had another look at it and Holyfield still wins! I guess the British bias is coming into this due to the poor decision in the first fight but to Holyfields credit he fought a great second fight, Lewis was lazy throughout and really did not press the issue, even his last round was not fought by a man desperate to win.
Interesting appraisal ThirdMan. I remember both fights but it was some time ago now. I remember the second fight being closer than the first and just shaking my head that Lewis got the second but not the first. I did think Lewis won the second though but haven't seen it in a while. Might have another look if I have it somewhere.
