I mean what was wrong with him an animal like mike tyson, KO artist, didnt let his hands go against lennox lewis. He should've bobbed and weaved and tryed to KO lewis at least. he just stood there and took a beating
In the 1st round he did let his hands go . He started the fight like any other but Lewis had his number that night . Once he settled worked the jab Mike became hesitant . He could no longer afford to rush in especially after he felt Lewis ' right hand . By round 4 his ambition had been taken from him and he was on a survival mission . In fairness he took his bumps that night . He didn look for a way out like he did vs Evander the 2nd time. Mike was badly beaten up , he was cut , marked up , swollen up , on the deck and bleeding badly. Never seen him like that before or since that fight
