Lennox Lewis - Tommy Farr

lewis stops a brave farr as above

 

Mis-match. Lewis wins whenever he wants to.

 

He never really fought one did he? At least none that was world class. The closest he ever fought would have probably been Zjelko Mavrovic, wouldnt it. I know he went the distance with lennox, but that hardly consitutes struggling. Lennox won the fight easily, and while i admit that Mavorovic wasnt in the same class as Farr, I still dont think that you can assume Lewis will not score the KO against Farr, despite this.

I suppose, on thinking about things you could have been talking about the old Evander Holyfield, who pushed Lewis all the way, and technically scored a loss and a draw (both on points). I suppose Prime Farr and Evander are much, much closer in ability than Mavrovic and Farr, but let us not forget that Lewis did win this series. All in all, i think that this is a good fight and i would have to take a much closer look at Farr before predicting with any sort of certainty, but a Lennox KO win would surely be a realistic option even if a points decision is the more likely option.

 

Taking both their styles and resumes into acount I would expect Lewis to win either by UD or perhaps by late TKO.

For the record I do think that Farr is the best British heavyweight between Fitzsimmons and Lewis.

 

I voted Farr by KO just to annoy Seamus.

 

who except fists of fury voted Farr , stand and say it.
what's the thread for ?
why not a public poll ?

 

That's a no-brainer. Lennox by comfortable UD.

 

Lewis did fight 6 feet tall, glass-jawed Phil Jackson who was usually around 190-200 pounds. He went 8 rounds with Lewis.

Former cruiserweight title holder Ossie Ocasio also went to an 8-round decision with Lennox Lewis.

Lewis would likely win by a TKO if he fights to the best of his abilities.

 

The Mavrovic fight wasn't easy..... Lewis was absolutely blowing out of his ass afterwards.

It's a shame Mavrovic packed in afterwards..... he would never have been a superstar but certainly a solid top 5-8 guy.

 

Talk about a chin, Marovic took bombs and never flinched from them. Maybe the after thoughts made him say enough , no more.

Farr was very tricky, had a terrific chin and easily could have gone the distance with Lennox. Fast guys were the nightmare for him. Big guys he could land on were his sweet spot.

 

From my personal experience in sparring many years back, I can say with confidence that small, fast guys with good lateral movement are a ***** to deal with.
