I was watching this the other night, and was a little surprised at the last five rounds. Lewis seemed pretty dominant, but then Tony really came on in the 8th, had a great rally in the 9th after being floored, and won the last three rounds as well imo. I still think Lewis won the fight, but I think Tucker put up a great rally.
Agree completely, Tucker clearly won the last 2 minutes of round 9. I scored the fight 116-111 for Lewis.
I gave Tucker rounds 1,10 & 11 with two even, he fought reasonably well but came up short, i think it was the case of one guy being on the slide & the other being on the way up, had they both fought at their respective peaks, it would have made for a very interesting fight.
I thought Tucker won two rounds at most with one even. It was a pretty lackluster fight for both, but credit for Lewis for putting his opponent down for the first time in his career. Tucker was too passive, but as mentionned by some posters, he showed great heart in that 9th round.
Tucker was always too passive for me he reminds of Bugner honestly two big durable guys with skills but lacked the real fire in their belly needed to be an upper echelon fighter.
I agree. Paradoxically, I thought Tucker really let his hands go against Tyson the first three rounds (and also against Broad who was a lesser opponent than “ Iron Mike ”).
There were times in that fight where Tucker looked like he was pulling his punches and could have been more aggressive
