    Fair play to jones . He called it like everyone else saw it. I remember staying up to 5am to watch this fight and i was nearly physically sick when the draw was given

    I still remember that fight, was 12 at the time and I still feel the same injustice now when I watch footage of the fight as I did then. Thank god he won the rematch. First time I've seen that RJJ interview, not often you get guys saying it as it is.

    In the last year and 1/2, since I started following professional boxing fervently, I've seen this same situation play over and over. You could pretty much run this interview in about 1 out of 4 fights and just switch the names. It's discouraging.

    Professional boxing needs one governing body, badly. Do I want it in the hands of Senator McCain, or government? No, not really, just handing it off to more crooks. But I believe he has the right idea.

    As bad a decision that was Holyfield just nicked the second fight but no way on earth he was going to get it after the first rip off.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I remember watching the fight and the crowd reaction after the decision was announced said it all, Lennox was shafted and like Roy said whenever King is involved you have to expect something like this
    Hidden Content IN CASE THEY ALL FORGOT WHAT REAL HEAVYWEIGHT POWER WAS!!!

    Well i can see someone maybe arguing that Evander Holyfield, won the rematch. I don't think theres "No way in hell" that he couldn't of won. But IMO i just see a repeat of the 1st fight, with Lennox Lewis controlling Evander Holyfield with the jab, except Evander Holyfield was more spirited.

    Here was my scorecard from awhile ago.

    1 Lewis
    2 Lewis
    3 Holyfield
    4 Lewis
    5 Lewis
    6 Holyfield
    7 Holyfield
    8 Lewis
    9 Lewis
    10 Lewis
    11 Holyfield
    12 Holyfield

    Lewis 115-113

    For Evander Holyfeild in his late 30s still being able to hang with Lewis was a acomplishment and yea he lost first fight the secound one was close.
