I can't recall Lewis being hurt to the body, but regardless, it was ridiculous. I read somewhere that Holyfield-Tyson 1 started the trend of the high cups. I'm sure others had high cups before that, whether or not a high profile fight like Holyfield-Tyson 1 started a trend I don't know, but I don't like how commissions just let it go like its nothing. http://www.premierboxingchampions.c...x_664/public/Evander-Holyfield-Mike-Tyson.jpg http://www.livefight.com/images/pages/1326975183lennox-holyfield.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cnmw7pGiuJw/hqdefault.jpg http://www.smh.com.au/ffxImage/urlpicture_id_1032054712626_2002/09/15/16spt_boxing,0.jpg http://www.pound4pound.com/Photos/DavidWarr/2007/DawsonvsAdamek/AdameckvsDawson.jpg
In my opinion, Holyfield deserved to win the 2nd fight. Lewis threw more punches but Holyfield landed more effective punches. A win over Lewis would have enhanced his legacy.
