I put the winner of each category in blue. Lewis won and there is no way in hell it was a draw.

 

compubox is bull**** for little kids which doesnt change the fact that lewis should have won that fight.

 

I think that's an exaggeration. Compubox tells a lot about a fight, but not everything. In this case the difference is so huge that you can't dismiss it.

The fight could be scored close, with a little fantasy but not a draw. It's not the biggest robbery ever, but the importance of the bout made it a big deal. The 2nd was much closer and was nearer to a draw then the first one, but I also gave it to Lewis.

 

NO NO NO,

Was an average fight with little action but Holy did nothing and won about 2 rounds worst hometown decision ever, FACT

The rematch was much closer

 

i wouldnt put it like that. compubox can be used in addition to what you see to make a conclusion. but relying on compubox alone is foolish. jim lampley is one of those guys who swears by his compubox. and he also beats women lolz.

 

Sorry bud but it was a shocker.

If it's not the worst then it's in the top 1.


Like someone said the second was closer.

 

Fight # 1 was ROBBERY!!!

Fight # 2 SUCKED!! Lewis won on points; Holy posed way too much and only hurt Lewis in one of the middle rds before going back into a shell to finish the fight... YAWN! Lewis basically won the rematch on the jab alone........ YAWN!!

MR.BILL

 

Definitely not a robbery I actually think Holy won both fights. IMO from my memory of the fight, Lewis did not engage the smaller man enough. I admit their is a little bias on my part because I love Holy and hated Lewis for not fighting holy the way Bowe did. But all in all no robbery.

 

Both fights were horrible. In fact, there are apt fodder for anyone who claimed that Lewis wasn't a top 10 heavy. Holy was a capable rugged fighter by that point, but he was well past it. Remember, he'd been knocked cold by a desperate Riddick Bowe a year earlier. Lewis certainly should've stopped hime. Easily the weakest double feature in his career.

 

Take it easy just my opinion! It was not a definitive performance by Lewis in either fight. Simply put Lewis was bigger and in his prime and Holy was not. Lewis should have forced the issue and went after Holy instead he let the fight be close.

 

Also: It was for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World! Such a high profile fight. I was watching with 3 other non-boxing fans...and I bet not one of them has watched boxing since, they were all so amazed at the ridiculousness of it all...

 

You should not ever bring size and age into a scoring.

 

LOL Aren't you a Klitschko sack swinger? How was that fight any more boring than any of Wlad's recent bouts?
