    I cant see how anyone gave Holyfield one of the first 4 rounds and from that i saw it 8-4 Lewis.

    And how come Holyfields headbutts were always "accidental"

    I had Lewis 7-5. Cant remember what rounds however so I'd love to see it again. Good fight and more entertaining than the first.

    Close fight, alot of the rounds were up in the air, I had it draw, neither man did enough to win IMO, but Lewis deserved the victory based on the first fight, which I had it 8 rounds to 4.
     
  6. It was a close fight, but i thought Lennox won, Holy was about 4 inches shorter, outweighed by 40 lbs and didn't have the power LL had and still made it a close fight..:deal

    I´m a big fan of Lewis and I despise Holyfield for his constant fouls and religious hypocrisy, but I´ll definitely say it was a close fight.

    Lewis pretty comfortably took the early rounds, but didn´t really do much damage. Holyfield won most of the late rounds. Holyfield hurt Lewis pretty bad with a left hook in the 7th but Lewis hurt Holyfield almost as much with an uppercut in the 9th. All in all the fight was not that exciting and I wish Lewis had gone for it more, tried to KO the bald man.

    Lewis probably edged it and if I remember correctly, the punchstats were in his favor. It could maybe have been a draw, but that would have been terrible after having that unjust draw in the first fight.

    It was a 7-5, 8-4 type fight for Lewis.

    Quite a few of the ringside journalists had it for Holyfield.

    So did i, easy win for Holyfield, Lewis was lethargic thorughout and i have to say i never gave him a round until the ninth!
    As much as the first fight was a robbery so was the second.

    And I thought that I was the only one who thought Evander did enough to win in the rematch. This really should have been his last fight though.
