But seriously, it looked like Tommy was scared to hit Lennox as hard as he could or get in close for fear of pissn off Lennox and gettin KO'd. Very uncharistic fight for Morrison, he usually fought with more passion. That time Lewis pushed Morrison down to the ground, then when the referre called time, followed Morrison around the ring about two feet behind him the whole time, smiling, trying to punk Tommy, well you knew the fight was over right then. Bizarre fight. Morrison got dropped 4 times, but never seriously hurt or KO'd.

I seen the fight myself and I don't think that Morrison was scared at all. Infact he landed some pretty good combinations against Lewis. He was just completely outclassed. He was in with a better fighter period! A fighter that was able to avoid Morrison's left hook and land counters in between Morrison's punches. Lennox was a good solid champion but I honestly didn't think he was that great. He fought a awesome fight agianst Holyfield the first time, but was completely outclassed and clearly beaten in the rematch with Holyfield. You saw all you needed to see in Lewis's eyes while they announced the decision. He knew he got schooled and was extremely happy with any decision that didn't have him losing. lol Almost the same thing happened when Lennox fought Mercer. Except I had Lennox winning by 2 points as did most. It was a damn good close competative fight that definitely should of been a rematch. If Lennox would of dominated Mercer in a rematch then dominated Holyfield in a 3rd fight I would have a lot more respect for him. But he was still a good solid champ. To his credit he did take on all challengers. He did beat every man that beat him. And it's been a long, long, long time since we have had a champ like that. Now we need another one bad!
