For our second fight, we'll look at a fight that should be easier to score. The fight that I want to select third is going to bring lots of arguments (at least I think it will), so for our second fight we'll do one that we should be able to score in agreement.
March 13, 1999- Madison Square Garden
Lennox Lewis (34-1, WBC Heavyweight Champion) vs. Evander Holyfield (36-3, WBA & IBF Heavyweight Champion) for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship
The three scorecards were 115-113 Holyfield, 116-113 Lewis, 115-115 Draw
My scorecard:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | total
Lewis | 10 | 10 | 10| 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 118
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
Holyfield | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 110
118-110 Lewis, 10 rounds to 2. I could've scored it 11-1 or even 12-0. Holyfield looked incredibly slow and did hardly anything the whole fight. Lewis didn't even look like he was trying that hard. He peppered Holyfield with jabs and right hands all night. Terrible decision by the judges.
