Lewis vs Holyfield 1

I had Lewis winning both fights. The rematch was a bit closer but still....

 

First fight was not close at all, 2nd fight was close but I still thought Lewis edged it, if you thought Holyfield won I wouldn’t argue with you

 

Lewis won the first fight by a minimum of three rounds, arguably up to five. Stinker of a decision to cap off a dreary fight.

To be honest, I don't think the rematch was that much closer in terms of scoring. A bit tighter than the first one, sure, but still a relatively clear Lewis win where 116-112 wouldn't seem totally out of place in my opinion, albeit I could see it closer. No doubt it was a much better contest overall, and Evander raised his game significantly from the first one, but I still don't think he was all that close to winning the fight.

 

SerbianLoudmouth is a troll most of the time, so I'm surprised that he would actually agree with the truth that Holyfield won the fight. It's too bad that people have done so much reading and have made up their mind that before they watch this fight that Holyfield will lose, when in reality he gave Lewis a bad pounding, and somehow Lewis clearly won?

 

Well, I haven't seen the fight in a while, but I remember at the time expecting Holyfield to get beat up, but then being shocked and thinking that Lewis was fortunate to get a draw. Unlike SerbianLoudmouth, I'm going to go back and watch the fight now, cuz if I just remember incorrectly, I need to revise my opinion before I go on barking it all over the place any longer.

 

I'm going to score it as I watch it.

 

Round 1-close round, goes to Lewis

 

Round 2-Lewis hurts Holyfield a little bit, but scores well; round to Lewis

Well, I have to have some way of proving that I'm watching it, rather than just saying: "Yep, I was right all along."

 

Round 3-Holyfield hurt Lewis twice badly in this round, and clearly won the round
