Just watched Lewis Vs McCall II: What was the story behind it?

All this rehab talk seems a bit like a convenient excuse to me for simply not being able to handle the pressure and cope against a fighter who came in much better prepared the second time around. If anything McCall being in rehab should have had his head on more straight than his first time around where he took on Larry Holmes in his first defense and celebrated his victory in a Las Vegas crack house.

Signs and Symptoms

By conducting interviews with outpatients who had been cocaine users, researchers have identified three phases that occur after a person stops taking the drug:

1. The crash occurs when a person who has used cocaine for an extended period suddenly stops taking the drug. In this state, the person becomes extremely exhausted. The crash can last between nine hours and four days. At the beginning of the crash, the person feels a craving for cocaine, irritability, dysphoria, and agitation. In the middle of the crash, the individual yearns for sleep. In the late crash, the person sleeps excessively. Some individuals may suffer from extreme depression in the early stages of the crash (especially those who have suffered from depression in the past). They may think about or try to commit suicide. Even first-time users of cocaine can experience the crash, depending on how high the dose and how long the period of use.

2. As depression worsens and the desire for sleep increases, the person feels less craving. After waking from a long sleep, the individual enters a brief normal period with mild craving. This is followed by a long period of milder withdrawal, lasting from one to ten weeks. During this time the craving for cocaine returns, and the person enters a state known as anhedonia. With anhedonia, the person can no longer feel pleasure from activities or experiences he or she used to enjoy.

3. The final phase of cocaine withdrawal is called extinction. The extinction phase usually begins two weeks after a person stops using cocaine. The person returns to a normal mood but still feels an occasional craving for cocaine. Because of continued cravings, the chance for relapse is high.

what a load of garbage.. McCall walked around the ring with his hands by his sides and Lewis was still too afraid to go for the kill, this is another typical post by you trying to imply that McCall was at the top of his game, just like you try to claim Tyson was at the top of his game when Lewis, Danny Williams & McBride all KOd him.. your a Troll and the worse on the forum

He was in a rehab shortly before the fight. He was mentally unstable. A crack smoker.

But really I think he was always like that. He lacked the cool mentality to thrive in the big fights. I saw him get similarly frustrated and walking away like a frustrated sulking child against a 45 year old Larry Holmes, but he snapped out of it. Faced with stiffer opposition in a 31 year old Lewis he crumbled.
McCall

he was a tough guy and okay at going rounds but when he became a top-flight fighter he caved under the pressure.
Of course, the crack cocaine was a factor in all this.

The glorified sparing partner is Larry Holmes .

Listen here, little boys....

Ollie the Man wasn't himself that night, when he fought Lewis. No sir. No way. Ollie the Man had an off night...he had a few problems that night.

If Ollie the Man was himself that night, then that fight woulda gone 12 rounds...unless Ollie cracked Lewis with the right hand again to score a knockout. Remember that, folks...

Remember also,

Lewis had no idea what was going on. Lennox told me one time when we were talking boxing he was rather confused at what was going on. I don't blame him; I'd have probably held off going for the kill when it was clear my opponent didn't want to fight back. The towel/intervention was WAY late that night.
