Lewis-Holyfield II

I know I had it 7-5 for Lewis.

Cant really remember what rounds went where though but I recall expecting Lewis to win more convincingly, so I almost thought he lost until I tallied my scores up.

 

Hit the wrong option for voting. Meant to vote 116-112: Lewis.

 

i can't wait for zakman to find this one.

[zakman]i struggled to give lewis a round. personally i had it holyfield TKO10.[/zakman]

 

i do like watching this fight, cant really understand why people see it so close, i only had holyfield winning 3 close rounds, with one split and 8 to lewis. I'm not normally a biased person on these threads so please dont take what i'm saying about holyfield just because i'm from England, i just really cant see how people thought Holyfield was close to winning this one.

 

I scored it about 7 rounds to 5 for Lewis, but I can see it being 7-4-1 or even 8-4 for him as well. He just outworked Holy. Holy would've been lucky just to get a draw (again).

 

fukin lucky, it would have been slightly less than the first robbery but still a fuking huge robbery if it was a draw!!

 

I agree with bizzer, about the same scorecard. And like Bizzer, I dont understand why people have it close or even a win for Holyfiled. Yes Evander did a better job. BUT he still lost by a wide margin imo.

 

This looks about right to me.

 

115 to 113 lewis:smoke:smoke:smoke

 

I think that monster uppercut that Lewis landed in the 9th to end Holyfield's onslaught was where the fight slipped away for the Bald Warrior. How he stayed upright from that punch is beyond me, but i think Lewis won most rounds after and including that one.

 

Haven't seen the fight in ages but I did participate in numerous threads about this fight in the general forum. I personally scored the fight 8-4 and after one of those tread debates on this fight I watched it again..and scored it the same, but I will admit one could conceivably score it 7-5. But that would be giving Holyfield the benefit of all the close rounds, which if I recall correctly were surprisingly few. I also recall trying to give (unbiasedly of course) another round and I simply couldn't. So I don't know how posters such as Zak can honestly say this scoring was payback for Lewis not winning the first fight, this simply isn't true, as the judges scorecards were exactly reflective of this fight and the first fight had no bearing on the scoring of this fight whatsoever.

I'm not one to critisize other posters, but the poll results are rather strange. How could anyone has either fighter winning more than 10 rounds, especially Holyfield. What fight were they watching?

 

Just remember that it was closer than the first fight and that both Holyfield fights made me realize that while Lennox was a big and gifted fighter, smaller fighters like Jo Louis wold have destroyed him ... in 24 rounds he was not able to really land his right on Evander who was no defensive master ... Lennox teed off on big guys orslower small guys but a smaller man that could move and hit would beat him ... in the first bout the 37 year old Evander actually had him hurt and Evander was no Louis when it came to speed or power ...

 

yup, lewis's uppercut is one nasty punch
