McCall is one of the few fighters I'd trust the word of, regarding whom he thinks hit him the hardest, since he's never even come close to going down.
The least the ref could have done was let Lewis fight on with one eye on stepping in if it looked like he could no longer defend himself. Holmes...

What's wrong with being dropped by Taylor? Pavlik was dropped by him as well, and a hell of a lot worse.
Believe me, it was a lot bigger...
