Great quote from that one
Wepner gets the flash on Ali,comes over to the corner and says
"Fire up the limo,we're gonna be rich"
His trainer says
"Id hold off on that,he's back up,and he looks pissed"

I thought Bert Cooper could of finished Evander Holyfield right there and then, but two things come into play here. One the ref gave Evander Holyfield a count because only the ropes held him up, in some cases the ref may not have given a count but the rest certianly did help Holyfield.

Secondly Cooper i thought was very poor on his offense after the KD, he smothered his own punches and never really landed a good power punch after that. And that gave Holyfield the time he needed to recover then Holyfield almost knocks Coopers head off with a counter right hand, then a lovely uppercut. Great Heavyweight round possibly better than Bowe vs Holyfield 1 round 10, but i think Cooper vs Moorer round 1 was better than both of those rounds i just mentioned.

One of my all-time favorite fights. I think I like that one more than Gatti/Ward 1. Two of the judges were giving him home cooking for sure. Remember that thread a few weeks ago about worst ever scorecards 98-90 (Mike Nolan) for Ward was awful. 96-94 was the accurate one.

Even if he wasnt cut I think Vitali would have been knocked out in the 7th round cuz he was staggering around all over the place in the 6th whilst Lewis was getting stronger , finding his range and getting on top.

Vitali was done after that uppercut.

I agree, but the fact the Lennox retired after left the perception that he was scared to rematch Vitali. True or not, it's how it was perceived and that's why Vitali gets all that credit. People wanted to annoint a new HW king so they glorified Vitali's loss help put him in that position.

Lennox was fat out of shape and going on 39yo.

Lewis wasnt ducking him he just had enough of boxing, had Lewis trained hard even at 39yo he demolishes Vitali.
