    Bert Sugar is terribly biased. I wouldnt be surprised his scoring on a fight is ****ed up.

    He is always going on the same **** about old time fighters, I hate it when they quote him in general media because non boxing fans will take his opinions as fact when they dont know any better and know the history of this guy being extremely biased.

    I gave Holyfield 3 rounds in the first fight. That was one of the worst robberies I have ever seen. And Sugar is an idiot. He does not know anything about Boxing that happened after 1920.

    I had the fight the same score, its been a long time since I saw the fight but I thought Lewis won for sure but I had it round the same.
    The rematch I had Holyfield winning.

    ****! You thought a draw was fair for the first fight? Don't suppose you'd like to put up a scorecard would you?

    As for 'LL lost the 12th and the judges still gave it to him' in the second fight, well yeah, I thought he lost the 12th too but by simple dint of winning more of the previous 11 rounds he indeed deserved the nod. You don't get bonus points for winning the 12th, especially if you'd lost around seven or eight rounds before that point.

    You misunderstood my comment. LL got robbed in the first fight but I do not think Holy got a fair call the second fight because of that. Even you agreed with me that the 12th round was clearly Holy's round.

    Tthe second fight could have been easily scored a draw. So all in all, a draw and a loss reflects pretty much what went on.

    I actually rewatched the first fight without commentary and did a scorecard a few months back and it surprised me when i totaled it up it came to 115-115.

    **** knows how as it baffled me
