June 8th 2002-Battle for the undisputed heavyweigt championship between champ Lennox Lewis and challenger Mike Tyson. This content is protected What was your pick for ''LewIS-TysON''? Be honest,no poll.:good
Lewis by KO, I predicted it would be early, round 4 or 5. Tyson was shot to bits, really he hadn't been what he was before prison, not even close.
Just googled something quickly: [url]http://memphis.bizjournals.com/memphis/stories/2002/05/20/daily57.html[/url] Your pick was?
So Lewis was roughly a 2/1 favorite. I didn't pick because i wasn't a fan back then but i do remember rooting for Tyson. :good
I remember making an absolute killing against my friends taking bets on Tyson. My black box also died a day before this fight (RIP).
You'll be amazed at how many people picked Tyson...Not saying that they're hardcore boxing fans like us but people did pick Tyson...I'm only basing this from the people I chat with outside of the web forum! Around the time of the fight back then...A whole lot of people from Memphis thought that Tyson was going to murder Lewis, not knowing that Tyson was past his best days!:rofl Talk about making a **** load of money during that time!:yep
I picked Tyson but was banking on him having more than 1 round in the tank. Tyson was so shot its like me fighting a 2009 version of Ali
