In the two fights they robbed each other. I had Holy winner in the 2nd. He did a little more than Lennox. Or another draw it would have been good too. Need for a third fight imo like Fury v Wilder.
A clear cut robbery. The rematch was closer. Holy looked very old in the first, but somewhat rejuvenated in the second. After '93 it was a bit hard to know what you would get with Holy. He could look done in one fight and then bounce back the next. The rematch was a very good effort by a 37-year old with that kind of mileage.
I do not see it that way because the 2nd fight was also not judged fairly because of what happened in the 1st fight. So overall a draw and a win for Lennox is a fair outcome
No they didn't "rob eachother" 1st fight was a decisive win for Lewis, and the 2nd fight was a competitive fight that Lewis deserved to win. The word robbery should not be associated with the 2nd fight.
Except Lewis didn't run the last 4 rounds. Those fights don't compare. That fight was a draw as I had it or 1 point either way. DelaHoya robbed the fans if anything.
I wasnt comparing the styles but the results. King’s fighters got the benefit of the doubt both times when most people went the other way and I dobt think it eas coincidence.
Lewis Holyfield one was an outrageous robbery. Turned me away from the sport for awhile it was so bad. I haven’t watched it in years but I think I had Holyfield with like 3-4 rounds. The rematch I scored 7-5 Lewis I believe and had that been the first fight and scored a draw I would of said absolutely fair.
Lennon won both fights according to most observers. The only difference is Lennox won the first fight by a larger margin which was ruled a draw than the rematch which was ruled a win.
