Well i can see someone maybe arguing that Evander Holyfield, won the rematch. I don't think theres "No way in hell" that he couldn't of won. But IMO i just see a repeat of the 1st fight, with Lennox Lewis controlling Evander Holyfield with the jab, except Evander Holyfield was more spirited.
Here was my scorecard from awhile ago.
1 Lewis
2 Lewis
3 Holyfield
4 Lewis
5 Lewis
6 Holyfield
7 Holyfield
8 Lewis
9 Lewis
10 Lewis
11 Holyfield
12 Holyfield
Lewis 115-113

For Evander Holyfeild in his late 30s still being able to hang with Lewis was a acomplishment and yea he lost first fight the secound one was close.

Jones was right,Lewis was robbed in the 1st fight.But his ability to take a conversation and make it about himself...in the 3rd person has never ceased to amaze me
Thought Holyfield took the 2nd fight.A bit of over compensation for 1st result wrong call imo.

i remember lewis got loads of sympathy from america after that defeat, in a way it was the best thing for him. but as soon as he beat holyfield all the americans went back to hating him if i recall correctly
1st fight was a pretty bad robbery. I though Evander clearly won 7 rounds in the second fight. I remember having a real bad taste in my mouth about Lewis after the second fight. It seemed he knew he already had it in the bag barring a KO and simply fought not to lose.

Do you know Lennox was almost ready to quit boxing after Holyfield I.
Just look how he'd been treated ?? Bowe renaged on an agreed fight after the four man tournament. Bowe beat Vander, Lennox demolished Ruddock the two winners should have met. Blubber Bowe ditched the WBC belt rather than fight Lewis & get KO'd AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
Tyson evaded Lewis twice once when King gave Lewis $4 mil to step aside so Tyson could make an easy defense first with the assurance Lewis would be next. Lennox was avoided again. The Vander "draw " debacle was almost the last straw breaking the camels back
I remember watching Roy lose in the Olympics and tears came to my eyes when Roy began wiping tears from his eyes in the ring after the decision was made. I also remember the Korean raising Roy's hand and pointing to him, basically acknowledging tha Roy was the winner. That was truly class in any language.
I always thought that Roy was a pretty good commentator, especially when commenting on what was going on in the ring during a fight. If you want proof of this, just pull out the tape of Trinidad vs. Mayorga and you will see what I mean. Everything Roy said that night came true by the end of the fight (while Larry Merchant kept jabbing Roy about getting KO'd in his recent fights, which, by the way, Roy took in stride and joked about it, showing his good guy qualities)
Where can I find the fight Rican, any idea? I've always wanted to see it.
