    One of the easiest fights to score that ended up being controversial I can remember.

    The 2nd fight was closer, I still had Lewis winning that, being generous to Holyfield it could have been a draw, but still thought it was a clear win for Lewis.

    Lewis won 9 rounds, at least.

    Of fights that went the distance, it was certainly among the most ridiculous.

    It was an easy fight to score.

    Exactly!

    Its the only clear as day round Holyfield won in the whole fight, as Lewis was scared shitless to throw a punch, with Evander having guaranteed, that he's knockout Lennox Lewis in that round because a senior member of his church prophesized it!

    To give round 3 to Lewis, is just as bad if not worse than having the fight a draw or scored for Holyfield.

    Pun, please do us- and you-a favor and dump the gay avatar.
    Euros have a proud way of moralizing themselves-this is a cultural thing. The K-Bros are raw, but not gay.

    Bro, you gotta be kidding me...Round 3 was a very close round; you guys just think YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT TO HOLYFIELD because he CLEARLY lost the 1st 2 rounds so u gotta give him a makeup round. BULL**** i say.

    Round 3...Start at 0:58 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy7zjJfwXVw&feature=related

    -First Minute: Lewis lands 4 or 5 decent shots...Holyfield lands 4 or 5 decent shots.

    -Second Minute: Lewis lands a couple good shots. Holyfield rallies and scores 3 or 4 decent shots. Lewis comes back and lands a couple good jabs. Good uppercut by Lewis. Holyfield's missed on his few big punches he's taken at lennox. Lewis lands a good shot.

    -Third Minute: Holyfield lands a few good shots. Lewis lands a couple good shots. Lewis closes the round very strong.

    Close round...I thought lennox was more active and more accurate. Holyfield had a couple good flurries. But rest of round pretty much dominated by lennox. This round really could go either way.


    Compubox:

    Punches in Round 3...

    Holyfield: 21/44 48%
    Lewis: 38/59 64%




    I could see this round going either way. For you guys to say it's inconcievable to have lewis winning that round are nutcasses.

    :lol: Punchstat having Lewis landing more shots!:lol:

    Look at the pawing left hand Lewis throws out to measure?
    Compubox calls those jabs landed!:rofl :rofl :rofl :lol:

    In a fight where for most of the rounds Holyfield fought like ****, Lewis was really having a hard time letting his shots go off with snap.

    Lewis was pushing his shots off in most of those rounds, and though I dont agree with the judges (because Holyfield was just awful) that really opened the door for the judges to have an excuse to give the round to the most popular fighter.

    .....and thats the truth....Lewis really did'nt take advantage and put away a dead man walking, he was too afraid to let his hands go for fear Holyfield might hit back!:lol:

    Love the way were now talking about who won the 3rd round rather than the fight.:D Much more debateable.

    Edit. Close but I though Holy won.
    The round not the fight.
