Holmes would struggle against Lewis early on, as Lennox was a fantastic specimen who knew exactly how to use his physical attributes to his greatest advantage in the ring.
By the middle rounds though, Holmes begins to work him out and starts to time him nicely before breaking him up slowly and methodically. Ref jumps in to stop Lewis taking too much punishment in 8 or 9 rounds.
No disrespect to Lewis, but he was a magnificent ATHLETE, and Holmes was a tough, skilled FIGHTER.
Agreed but think Lewis could hold on to see the final scores.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
