Is it illegal- Lennox Lewis glove in Brunos Face?

That's why they stopped it.

Then Lewis knocked him dead ''again'

it was technically two kos

 

its called lining him up. i was taught early on as a boxer to do this

 

No. Lots of boxers (particularly bigger men) do this, Ali did it a lot. Wlad does it a bit too.

It's often confused with pawing.

(It often gets right-hand countered)

 

Getting away with something doesn't mean it's not at the referee's discretion to call you on (Khan/Peterson). The referee has always been able to call you for that. But, let's be honest, there aren't many heavyweight champs on film who didn't use tactics the ref could call them for on a regular basis, usually getting away with them. Foreman outright shoved anyone into range whenever he felt like it, which was whenever someone was too close for comfort, even hulk smashed a guy in his first defence while he was on the ground, Ali held and pulled down on the back of heads/necks, Lennox and Volo both stiff-arm and draped themselves on backs, Holmes stiff-armed, Holy butted and Tyson, well, he literally had to openly bite a guy twice, and take flesh off to lose a fight because of his illegal tactics. Check out Lewis/Grant if you want to see a real good show of not calling foul on something. ****ing hell.

 

Good post BE:good

 

It's legal because he had his fist clenched. If his hand was open and he held the palm of his hand in front of Bruno then it would have been illegal.

 

Holmes did this all the time, but still one of my favorite fighters after Hagler, of coarse.

You have posted this fight like 30 times, I have counted.

But sure pretty much all the fukin fouls you can think about is shown at this fight.

I have this fight book marked.

 

Hearns did it alot as well, especially against Cuevas, i think the ref warned him about this as well

 

:rofl:rofl yeah I'm sure I've seen you post this before but still

 

I'll post it 30 more times for people who haven't watched. I like introducing new fights/fighters to fans

Plus, I am extremely bored.

 

Now that u mention it, ive noticed that fight on quite a few threads as well

 

you are not supposed to be able to do that (Coast a fighter) with the left hand like that but most refs do not penalize you for that, Evander Holyfield did that in the Vaughn Bean fight and was told not to coast him like that....

didnt lewis hold and hit when he knocked out Bruno? similar to the way he did Michael Grant? I mean thats clearly a foul to me
