    Lewis 6 to 4. Ray deserved a re-match. But Lewis doesn't give re-matches vs. guys who gave him close fights as long as he won them. See Klitschko or Bruno.

    When Lewis lost, he cried lottery punch and got a re-match quickly.

    People scoring the fight for Mercer are counting shots that are missing or being picked off. Fans always do this and will continue to do it.

    Lewis have the illusion he was losing at times bc he was fighting defensively, he clearly landed the better punches and won by a good margin of were counting the actual solid shots landed.

    No, he didn't win by a good margin. That fight was much, much closer than Mercer vs Holyfield. I had Lewis winning 96-95 or draw. Scoring more than 96-94 for either Lewis or Mercer would be BEYOND awful.

    Iirc I had Lewis by 1 or 2.

    Very good fight in where Mercer took away Lewis' jab with his own.

    'LL never wanted to go there again.

    Lewis won, but the expression he gave after the scores were announced did remind me of OJ Simpson’s when he was found not guilty. Was fairly close.
