Joshua gave it a go he looked ok he knocked over Ruiz it was a stunning series of punches to put the guy over and then he got hit with a lucky punch that hit the side/back part of his head. Anyone who knows boxing knows it disorientates boxers. I have to admit I have never boxed but on a job (labourer) I got scaffolding smashed into the side of my head with hard hat on I was totally out of it was sick and everything. It was where it hit me. Joshua didnt look hurt to me he looked all over the place disorientated he might of been dizzy etc. Now that is lucky. He's been hit by Klitschko and stayed up fought on. Povetkin also. Lewis althought great as he is got banjoed as you put it never seen anything like it. That was after the shennanigans in the TV studio where Rahman I think called him gay or something. He got his revenge but he was knocked clean out by Rahman who let's be honest isn't Muhammad Ali, is he.
That Rahman punch knocks any fighter out in history. No one is getting up from that. Lewis was Only knocked down twice in his pro career and he got up at 6 against McCall.
It was deemed a controversial stoppage. I always thought it was a tad too early. Admittedly Lewis was hurt but could have clung on. We will never know.
I know it was mate as old enough to have been cheering Lennox on at the time as a young man but he was all over the place. His facial expressions were from a comedy skit. His legs had gone even as the referee was inspecting him closely as he called it. Excellent refereeing as Lewis could of been hurt badly and saved to fight another day and a great career.
