Was Holyfield robbed in the 2nd fight with Lennox? How did you guys score it?

Holyfield was not robbed in any way against Lewis. Please.

I watched it awhile ago and had Lewis winning 115-113. I watched it again recently and had it 116-112 for Lewis.

 

No, Lewis clearly won it. Closer, but still his fight. Also take into account that the commentators and crowd went bananas when Holyfield landed a punch on his gloves, and reacted with silence to a flush punch Holyfield took.

 

While it was more comptetitive fight 2nd time around, Lewis clearly won the fight. It was not a difficult fight to score in my opinion Lewis both times proved he was the better fighter and can't really see why there is any debate as to the scoring of the 2nd fight.

At the time I remember being rather dissapointed as Lewis' performance and been a bit of an anti-climax as based on the first fight I expected Lewis to dominate and KO Holyfield. But Lewis still won the majority of the rounds, Holyfield was never able to figure out Lewis. The only reason he did better 2nd time around was because Lewis unsuprisingly was looking too hard for the KO and too often stood his ground in the centre looking to catch Holyfield coming in.

 

do you actually know what the definition of "robbed" in boxing actually means?

 

I did I had the 2nd one for Holyfield ..

 

No. atsch

Lewis won both fights, clearly in the first, close but clear in the 2nd.

 

They don't have fights like this anymore. Holyfield had power that his opponents respected. Holy had this gift where his power punches could equalize volume. I really don't see this in boxing anymore. Does anyone know what the hell I mean?

 

That rematch was very close, I had it a draw. I was impressed with Holyfields never say die attitude.

But since Lewis was robbed big time in the first fight, I don't think they would have scored the second fight a draw in any case, even when it was this close.

As it stands, Holyfield officially got a draw and a loss to Lewis, just like it should have been.

 

That's why I always watch the fight first and then again without sound to score it

 

Was the second fight more competitive, sure. Did Holyfield win? No. I equate this to how Shane Mosley performed in his rematches against Forrest and Wright. He came back and did well, but not well enough to win.

 

No, both fights were close but Lewis should have won both. The draw was total bull****.

 

No 116 v 112 - more spirit from Holy second time around but still wasnt good enough

 

I scored that fight for Holyfield, as did quite a few ringside journalists. I think they were making up for the bogus draw in the first fight

 

Lewis won both, the only robbery involved was in the first fight.

 

No he was'nt robbed, but it was a better fight...
