    I had it 115-113 for Holyfield. Lennox clearly won the first fight, but Holyfield won the 2nd fight. The judges were influenced in the 2nd fight by the robbery Lennox got at the first one.

    Hell no, it was a closer fight than the first, but Lewis was still the clear winner, even if factoring in the fact he held a bit too much.

    I too felt that Holyfield had done enough to win in the rematch against Lewis. However, I watched the Don King broadcast of the fight and the commentators were pro Holyfield. If I had of watched the fight on HBO I probably would have scored the fight differently.

    I remember thinking the judges got it right this time. 8-4, possibly 7-5 in favor of Lewis.

    I had Lewis 4 rounds up in the second fight. Not as dominating as the first fight but he clearly won

    Same as me.

    The word robbed/robbery is used too much on here.

    Lennox won two times with Holy, second fight was more competitive but still Lewis was the clear winner
