    I completely agree mate but 9 times out of 10 when a fighter has scored 1/3 more punches over a 12 round fight he is usually the winner

    I have massive respect for Holyfield, true warrior but Lewis has his number all day long, just like Holyfield has Tysons

    115-113 for Lewis was my score. A draw would have been fair in the second fight. Although Lewis clearly won the first, Evander did much better in the rematch.

    I am from the UK and a big big fan of Lennox, who i think is an all time great and on the top ten heavies of all time, and i think he was robbed in the first fight, but seriously he LOST the second fight, i think everyone should watch it again, there is call fora possibly a draw but i honestly think Holyfield was robbed, as Lennox was in the first,

    Christ no!:rofl

    2nd fight was competitive but there's no doubt Lewis won. There is no way we should even be talking about this nowadays.

    Why give people ammunition to take the **** out of UK Boxing fans.

    You are a ****ing fool, why can't you just embarrass yourself instead of humiliating UK fans with such foolish posts. You are a disgrace to humanity.

    No, he definitely wasn't robbed. I think I had it scored either 115-113 or 116-113 for Lewis. I think that is how I had it and I don't feel like going through my books to see. So like that criminal George W. Bush once said "you'll just have to take my word on that".

    I had the econd fight a draw and I want to take this opportunity here and say that it pisses me off that many people dont watch fights but go by the result or other posters comments and act as if they had watched the fight.

    I remeber thinking that i they had switched the scores from the two fights, it would have been more or less right.

    I used to have Holyfield winning. But the last 3 times I've watched it, I've had Lewis, pretty easily.

    He beat Evander, twice. And I'm a much bigger fan of Holyfield.

    Lennox won both fights, clearly as well.
