    It seemed like a probable outcome?

    The second fight was a worse decision IMO.

    I thought Holyfield beat him the second time too. so a draw and a loss is OK for me.Both fights were not judged fairly

    Nothing wrong with it if you were Holyfield.

    Lewis clearly won, but the fight was scored a draw. That was wrong.

    If the fight is not that hard to score for fans, journalists etc., but professional boxing judges have difficulty to pick the winner, it always looks strange.

    Especially if it's as big fight as Holy vs Lennox or Chavez vs Whitaker.
