Yes Lennox easily dispatched him except for the part where he was almost knocked out himself.
Briggs always had a tremendous left hook.
Lennox was NOT almost knocked out, he wasn't even knocked down.
The left hook that started the attack wasn't much of a shot at all, it was a balance shot, but Briggs isn't too bright and thought he really hurt Lewis, so Briggs went on the attack. It was mostly a non-effective onslaught where most of the shots were caught by Lewis's arms and gloves, but right near the end, Briggs actually did hurt Lennox with the 3 consecutive rabbit punches that he got away with.
Hardly counts as being "almost knocked out himself" though! Too much exaggeration.
