Prime Holyfield VS Prime Lewis

But but but in between being rocked by clean right hands...

Lewis swing a sloppy uppercut at Evanders raised arms...surely if you watch it enough, you might see it hit his face.

 

Somebody said 42 out of 48 ringside reporters gave it to Holy in their rematch. Is this true?

 

I disagree. Holyfield threw a bunch of jabs that clearly missed, (Lewis' 7" reach advantage played a pretty big role in this fight)

Lewis threw jabs that landed and then he threw a huge body shot.

But busy isn't defined and throwing punches, it's defined as landing punches. Lewis clearly landed more punches in the second minute of the fight and the 1st 30 seconds of the last minute of the fight. Like someone said, it was a case of who do you go with, the busier fighter who landed more, or the less busier fighter who scored more meaningful punches in the last 30 seconds of the round.

 

I know it was between getting hit, (not rocked), between clean right hands, I've already said that Holyfield landed 4-5 clean punches in the last 30 seconds, but Lewis did land one clean upper cut. I'm not disputing who won the last 30 seconds of the round, clearly Holyfield did, but I do think if you look over the entire round, and you consider the entire 3 minutes that Lewis won this round, albeit it was a close round. There's certainly room for disagreement as to who won this room, more than I initially thought.

 

Guess you actually watching the fight and trying to critique it based on what you see with your own eyes, is clearly out of the question. You're apparently context just to sit back and make snide remarks.

 

Watch it again. Lewis threw and split his defense and the punch landed cleaning. 13:32. It never hit his left arm at all.

 

Not sure if I even want to know. Truthfully, I'm starting to get a little tired of this.

 

I watched it more times than I should have.

Lewis taps his guard with the left hand, trying to sucker him into the uppercut. Holyfield doesn't bite, keeps arms close and gloves up. Lewis swings the uppercut, the punch reaches under but is stopped short of Holyfields chin by the left arm. There is no audible connection or visible effect from the punch, Certainly no guard splitting, and absolutely no visible punch connection.

Holyfield quite possibly landed an uppercut in the clinch prior to this sequence but I didn't count it, because it was too obscured.

 

Lewis threw a bunch of jabs and clearly missed.

Holyfield actually landed a clean body shot on camera.

Lewis most certainly did not land more in the second minute, he was too busy trying to evade Evanders jab to throw back much.

Equal round until Evander put his stamp on it.

 

Well let's agree to disagree because I think Lewis was clearly the busier fighter up til the 30 sec mark of that round.

But I do respect that you gave it a fair shot in trying to be objective about what transpired and that's my only objective.

Trust me, I'm not getting compensated for the outcome of this discussion, and I actually like both fighters, so I don't have a vested interest in the outcome.
