    LOL, I've only seen on other poster here claim Holfyield won it, and he changed it to a draw upon further review, creating two 10-10 rounds, and give Holy the benefit of the doubt.

    I changed from a 1 point win for Holyfield to a draw upon review.I could have given the even rounds to Holyfield if I wanted him to win but I wanted to stay as objective as possible.rounds can be scored even whether you like it or not.If anybody won, it should have been Holyfield.

    middleweight.anyway, I question whether you have ever boxed before as you claim Lewis was never stunned in either fight

    IMO Middleweight is the tough division to start out as a newbie as this is the weight where the punches start to matter, and the skill level is usually high.

    I do not recall Lewis being stunned at all in the first fight. I think your backpedaling as we are talking about the 2nd fight where he was stung once and another poster had to give you that!

    The way you put it was multiple times, which is a vast overstatement. Lewis was never hurt, A draw in the 2nd fight is a horrible card. You had your share of bad cards. Like fanboy bad. Someone who boxed should know better.

    Where are all these media cards you claim that had Holyfield the winner? I've asked enough for it. Well???

    Also I do not recall you posting in the training session. Sometimes I break down film of those sparring, and give tips. The posters appreciate it.

    No way did Holyfield sweep rounds 4-8. Lewis took a few rounds off within those rounds, but the rounds he outworked Holyfield are clearly his rounds. Rewatch them, look at who landed the most punches, that's the person who won the round. You're scoring on the basis of Holyfield having a flashy 15 seconds in rounds he got outjabbed and outworked in.

    I had almost identical scorecard for this fight except rounds 3 and 5 - I had Holyfield winning the third and Lennox winning the fifth

    I also had a similar scorecard which shows that we are all on the same page. It seems that we are getting somewhere finally. I invite anybody to really watch this fight without bias from the first fight and you are going to come up with a very close scorecard for sure.

    I remember watching this fight like 2 years ago. I was remarkably surprised with how close it was and not at all how i initially remembered the bout. I believe the bad taste of the first fight just led me to believe Lewis won going away. That was not the case, I scored it 7-5 Lewis but felt a draw was not out of the realm of possibility. Had this been the first fight, I would of been happy to see the rematch, the way things played out not so much.

    Lewis won the fight but it wasn't a particularly impressive performance, Holyfield fought better on this occasion, winning rounds 6,7,9 & 12, he had the better moments but Lewis won the fight.
