    The guy with the word LENNOX written across his trunks was actually Lewis in that fight. :nut

    You must not have read the 1st post then. :yep In all seriousness though, I've heard plenty of people say that Holy deserved the win even a couple of boxing broadcasters who have suggested it. Not saying that I agree with them because I've never seen the fight for myself, I'm just telling you what I've heard.

    Although this is the 1st time I've ever heard people say that it was a actually a decent scrap. I might have to check it out for myself now. :think

    Should make this a poll just so you can see how much in the minority you are.
    Lewis 8-4 on my card as I recall.

    I am going to watch it again and give a score because it has been a while. Tomorrow sometime...

    I recall a closer fight that was a solid victory for Lewis, but I can't give you a round by round account at the moment.

    That's pretty much how I remember it too, sure Holy won 4 rounds but at no point was it a close fight. I seem to remember Lewis playing possum at times trying to sucker Holy in and it cost him a couple of rounds, stupid **** from Lewis considering the first fight in hindsight.

    Rewatching it right now, I'll give a scorecard in a while.

    How? Even if you give every even slightly debatable round to Holy it's still hard to argue for anything better than a draw in my view?

    PS the fight sucked.

    I mentioned this before, but one US journalist gave Lewis only 3 rounds in the rematch.
    Try to get your heads round that kind of lunacy.
