    Having watched their two fights many times over. i have a query surrounding their first fight which the judges scored as a draw.

    Judge Stanly Christodoulou (SA) - 116-113 (Lewis)
    Judge Eugenia Williams (USA) - 115-113 (Holyfield)
    Judge Larry O'Connell (UK) - 115-115 ???????

    British judge Larry O'Connell who had refereed or judged at more than half of Lennox professional fights and was a very close friend of the Lewis family, scored the fight a DRAW. O'Connell actually travelled over to Las Vegas for the fight, flying over with Lennox mother Violet Lewis. In no way is Larry O'Connell corrupt or ever been biased, my query is "How come he scored the fight as a draw"?..

    How do you know that?

    He certainly sounds corrupt, taking judging jobs for fighters of whom he is a very close friend. That sounds like the absolute height of corruption to me.

    People who have an agenda against a given fighter, become completely ineffectual at hurting them, once it becomes apparent that they have an agenda against that fighter.

    They could achieve a lot more if they played a more subtle game, but they lack the self discipline.

    That was a 24 round snoozefest....having the need to walz for 24 boring rounds against a shopworn washed up Oldiefield speaks volumes about Lemmie.....

    Nah actually,even before Flea accused him, it was because ive been in general most of today, i come into classic and there's this newvie starting two very suspicious looking Lennox Lewis threads with thinly veiled agendas.

    i have this nack for spotting people like him. Infact ill go as far as to say, i believe its an alias of a certain long term poster in classic forum.

    I would have used the word intelligence, but self discipline kind of works.
