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.


It would be better if you put this in a fresh new thread for people to post on.
its funny how different people see the fight differently.I scored it 115-112for lewis which i think was a fair acessment.I mean ,you didnt even give enander the 3rd round?why not?He landed the cleaner punches,keep busy,and had lewis wobbled.I think 99% of the planet earth gave holy that round,quite fairly!...Maybe you should apply for a job with HBO,there score card was just as ridiculous as yours.No offence,but be fair,evender won 4 rounds to 7 and one even on my very unofficial score card.If i remember correctly ,i gave holyfield rds-3-9-10-11 and cant remember wich one was even,but im not going to watch it again anyways,cause it was a pretty forgetable fight!
#2 I pretty much agree with you . The thing is, most of the tall heavyweights are just kind of boring and forgettable in general.. I never find myself looking for old Lewis ,or Klitchko fights , most heavyweights over 6”4 are just boring. plain and simple. They do just enough to win and that’s it. Never really risk anything.. Just makes for a horrible watch over all .
agreed lords i can think of few exciting 6 foot 4 and over that are quite exciting

riddick bowe
andrew golota from what ive seen from his looks to be quite exciting fighter
