Instead of facing Hasim Rahman in south Africa ,Lewis meets Corrie Sander's . We know what happens against Rahman but could Sander's ,two years away from koing wlad ,do the exact same against Lennox ? Lewis , under trained and over confident against the massive under dog ?
I'm a massive Lewis fan.. But he gets knocked out a round earlier by Corrie of we do a straight swap Sanders for Rahman.. Switching the same fighters for the Rahman 2 fight a fit focused Lennox shows Sanders the doors round abiut halfway
A fit motivated crushes Sander's for sure. I actually see him ko ing Sander's before the end of the second . The first fight I think sees a almost replica of the Rahman loss. Lewis not doing to bad early rounds ,keeping Sander's the end of the jab .But the fatigue setting in around the fifth .Sander's cracking Lewis and Lennox on Bambi legs. He'll go down hard as he did in south Africa ,and game over. Paying the price for taking him lightly. Sander's would never best a fit Lewis IMO .
If this fight fought under the scenario by the OP then Sniper by 1st round ko. Sniper won 18 of his fights by 1st rd ko. Sniper stuns Lewis early and the fight is over before end of 1st rd.
