    Yes...I found him an easy person to like, still do. When Lewis consoled him on his stool right after the loss, Grant was near tears but still had the grace to respond "God bless you, soldier."

    That, and one of Grant's cornermen that shook Lewis's hand right afterwards for coming over, was one of the classiest things I've seen in boxing.

    Especially when compared to what Don Turner does, which is pointedly turn his back...

    And thanks Russell :good

    In reality, the second Bowe-Golota fight should have been stopped by Bowe's corner or the ref long before the 9th round.

    Also, this post reminds me of Lewis's postfight interview when they asked him about holding & hitting and he said something to the effect:

    "I wasn't holding in hitting. I was just keeping his head in place so it wouldn't move."

    :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
