    Was it ever revealed why this was scored a draw and who was behind the corrupt decision? Was it Don King hoping for a rematch and another potential big money spinner?

    One female judge scored some rounds for Holyfield that Lewis clearly won. If memory serves Lennox's best round of the fight was round five, and he lost that on the female judges card.

    Lewis won the fight by at least two rounds. The draw was BS, but Lewis should have performed better vs Holyfield who at the time the more shop worn of the two.

    Very true,Mendoza. Just like Amir Khan,recently,Lennox should have imposed his authority more convincingly.

    im not sure there was any sort of conspiracy or fix.
    sometimes two out of three judges simply get it wrong.

    "If you beat me you beat me. And i'm not saying anyone could beat me. But if you beat me you beat me and if you don't beat me i'm gonna be upset!"

    Roy has the most underated patter in fights.

    I watched this fight with this guy, bit of a mental case, at a mutual friend's house. When the decision was announced, he took his glasses off and snapped them in half :lol:

    Roy would never choke a *****. He might shake the **** out of her though.

    I will have to watch it again. I remember thinking Lewis won all the clearest to score rounds, at least 4 were very big rounds for lewis. However, I remember looking at my card and in rounds had it a draw because I gave holyfeild the edge in the quieter rounds.
