I had it a litlle closer than the official cards (Morrison by 3 points). Career best performance from Tommy

 

Why was this directed to me?
For completeness sake you should mention McCall and Rahman, who did beat Lewis.

 

Wouldn't say it was a war particularly, just a disciplined performance from Tommy against a very slow and sluggish Foreman way past his best. It was actually quite a frustrating fight for large stretches. Foreman's steampole jab was about the only effective punch he could throw in this fight, and Tommy couldn't get his power shots off because of Foreman's big arms and constant pushing, plus the fact that he was backpeddling most of the fight.

So you had one guy plodding forward throwing the odd sloppy telegraphed shot at glacial speed, and another on the backfoot unable to land clean shots because he was mostly off balance and unable to work his way past the other's defence and looking like he was on the verge of gassing due to nerves.

Tommy did well to hold it together, but it didn't show either man at their best.
