    Was it a genuine robbery?

    Did King have any influence?

    Don't pull punches...

    proper genuine robbery, 4pts is a minimum win for lewis in that fight though i thought there was a case for a draw in the rematch.

    wasn't this that fight when the ***** judge scored lewis best round of the fight for holyfield and then blamed it on her view of the action or something. forgot what round it was but it was totally and utterly corrupt.

    It was a robbery to have Holyfield in front when he was only looking to accomplish his dream of knocking lewis out in the 3rd round. However, if that draw was a clear cut robbery, then how come Lewis won the second fight when he was tagged so many times more??? Styles and fighters make fights but we are talking about the same fighters and a better Holyfield...

    Every fight seems to get called a robbery nowadays, but this is one that certainly was.

    Tagged many times more?

    Lewis - 195 connect
    Holy - 137 connect

    Lewis landed 119 power shots, almost as much as Holyfield landed total!!!

    So, you were saying?

    The biggest robbery was the PPV money I laid down for this stinker. $40 bucks or something plus renting a box, seemed like a fortune than, my have times changed.

    This was a robbery. You could give Holyfield 3 rounds at most

    First one was a robbery, the second a draw in my eyes. But both fights were boring as **** so i dont care.

    Yeah i watched them both just a few months ago.

    I scored the 2nd fight 114-114 but most of these rounds were really close.

    If i am not wrong most of the ringside experts had Holyfield winning.

    I thought a draw would have been about right for their second fight also. Although I think Holyfield did enought to get the win. The first fight Lewis won.
