Does anyone think Lewis-Holyfield 1,was anything but a Lewis win???

The most controversal fight in recent times coz the whole world was watching.

I was just woundering if anyone agreed with the judges or had Holyfield winning. ::**

I'm pretty certain the great man Britkid scored it for Holyfield.

Don't ask me :-\

Lewis won easy he stood him on his head only thing Lewis did wrong was he did'nt go for the stoppage

[size=10pt]HOW???????????????[/size]

Nah Britkid just said that he could se how somebody would've given Holyfield a draw, coz neither did enough to win the rounds

I have Holyfield 3 rounds ;)

Yes, it was a sign that Holyfield was running on fumes, and a lacklustre win for Lennox. No doubt he won most of the rounds, but it was hardly a great performance considering Holy appeared to have very little on that night, Lennox could have probably even stopped him imo.. but no doubt it was a major screw job.

I thought Evander won the fight by a few rounds. Lewis was a bit too cautious in that fight. Evander was taking the chances and driving the majority of the action . Hell I think this is the match ? I get first match and the rematch confused.. I had Evander winning one of them and Lewis winning the other !

I always get that confused ! LOL.. I just remember I had Lewis winning clearly one of the matches, and Evander clearly winning the other ! just never been able to remember which fight was what. LMFAO ! Thanks for clarifying that :coolclick: for your assistance

havent seen the first or second fight for a long time but i can remember thinkin that lewis did more than enough to earn a decision in the first fight. but i can also remember thinkin that it looked to me that the real deal maybe deserved to get at least a draw in the second fight.

No, I googled it but I could only find the stats for the first fight.

I was just thinking.... How weird of a year was 1999 when it came to judges' scorecards??

DLH-Quartey
Lewis-Holyfield I
DLH-Trinidad
Vargas-Wright

Those were probably the 4 biggest fights of the year, and lots of people would argue that all 4 were bad decisions. Yikes.

Sometimes I see compubox numbers and just think WTF, now I'm not saying that Lewis shouldn't have gotten the first fight but I definitely don't remember him landing 348 punches. But then again according to Compubox didn't Gatti land like 48 punches against PBF, the numbers are always inflated.

I hear yeah.. compubox doesn’t tell the whole story and sometimes the guy in charge of one fighter button is looking at the ring card girls instead of the damn match ! Hehehe ;)

I completely agree that compubox numbers can be misleading. You can't score a fight off compubox numbers, because they don't tell the whole story.

But in Lewis-Holyfield I, the numbers do tell the whole story. It was not a close fight at all.
