    Lewis as looking for a war not a boxing match in there

    I disagree with your score but Holyfield certainly did better in the rematch.

    I do not concur with @THE BLADE 2 's card, but I don't think Lewis won the rematch with his Jab, either.

    Why do you think Lewis' Jab was key to his winning the rematch with Holyfield?

    Is Luis Ortiz a world class boxer?

    Interested to hear how someone narrowly dominates?

    Because he landed an awful lot of jabs. The majority of the rounds, that he didn't take off, he was landing more punches, mainly the jab and off the jab

    You can do that in a marginally devastating performance, John.

    Start the thread: Would an oxymoron from the 30s be able to cope with a modern super oxymoron?

    By the way, Serbian Loudmouth, that isn't a thread about you.

    He didn't, though. Overall, Lewis had nothing like the success with his Jab in their second bout, as he'd had with it in their first fight.


    Lewis' Jab swept the first two rounds. Round-3 his Jab was still present as a useful punch, but less so. By the end of Round-4, Lewis had almost dispensed with the Jab altogether.

    It then became more about punches, other than the Jab and Lewis, on balance, outdid Holyfield in the 'power-punch' domain.
