    Tyson gave Lewis a fat lip. Lewis gave Tyson a bloody nose.

    Lewis did enough damage that the sparring had to be called off in the 6th round

    I read an interview of Cus, saying Lewis showed heart but suffered a bloody nose and was really feeling the heat.

    Like Kazim above has said, there's so many variations.

    Tyson was much more advanced. He'd have dominated Lewis

    How most sparring sessions go between young people of vast potential.

    Both had some success, both did some damage, both came away with something to work on.

    The boxing fan/amateur gives WAY more credit to sparring then the pro does. Always shocks me.

    Even Marvin Hagler got knocked down in sparring sessions...
    It doesn't really mean ****, sparring is for testing purpose.
