    Yeah I can see how he scored that for Holy ..He must have been on crack at the time .There is no other explanation for that!
     
  3. No doubt who won that fight. But, I forget about Lennox's cup that night. If he could have pulled it a couple inches higher it could have been a protective bra too.

    That first fight generally was terrible judging. How can anyone give that round to Holyfield?

    Either she's an inept judge or she's on the take.

    She has sinced claimed that she couldn't see during that round, think she said because the press photographs or someone else was in her way. That's why she gave it to Holyfield.

    that round was closer to a 10-8 for lewis than a 10-9 for holyfield. what a total disgrace. she should be killed let alone sacked.

    It's not terrible judging; it's not judging at all. The scorecards were bought. They were just sitting there pretending to judge a fight while a 5 year old could've scored it correctly.

    Obviously it was a dodgy decision, I knew that first time round. But having watched that round again, for them to give it to Holyfield means not only were they bought, they didn't care who knew it.
