    Agreed. The 2nd fight was much tougher to score. Still had Lewis winning but wouldn't have argued a draw, even a SD for Holy. The first fight? C'mon...that was ridiculous!

    Even Holy looked stunned when it was announced a draw.

    Biggest robbery in the past 15 years hands down. What a disgrace

    Lewis won 9 or 10 rounds easily

    At least you could have made it a public poll, I'd like to see who are the ones voting for Holyfield. :verysad

    Holy posed too much in the rematch.... Having ONE solid round in a fight is not enough to get the nod in my view..... Lewis speared the jab in Holy's face for the most part... Again, the rematch was a letdown, but Lewis won....

    During the replay on Sky Sports, Barry McGuigan scored it for Lewis by 1 round only :huh.

    I had Lewis winning rounds 1,2,4,5,6,7,12 (7 rounds) clearly.

    I had Holyfield winning round 10 (1 round) clearly.

    I had Lewis winning rounds 3,9,11 (3 rounds) close.

    I Had Holyfield winning round 8 (1 round) close.



    This was an absolute robbery...If you give Holyfield all the SOMEWHAT close rounds, he still should lose. Travesty.

    Pernell Whitaker-Julio Cesar Chavez was just as bad. Probably worse IMO.

    If I remember correctly, only rounds 3 and 10 can be scored for Holyfield and those are close rounds at that.
