Hasim Rahman upset Lennox Lewis in South Africa.
Trip down memory lane for some of you folks, and for some of you new folks Rahman was a 17-1 underdog against Lewis. Lewis obviously didn't take him seriously, and he paid for it, big time. Enjoy.
whoo! I remember watching this live with my dad... we had never really been fans of lewis so when that happened we just laughed! gave him a call and showed him.. ahh.. memories! thanks man!
He didn't prepare, started showboating and took the fight as a joke
I don't think that it was a lack of preparation, he landed in Sth Africa only 5 days before the fight whilst Rahman had been there for weeks already getting used to the climate and altitude etc. He wasn't showboating, he had won the previous rounds and in backing away cautiously from a punch, in his usual cautious fashion, he left a very wide space between his hands and his chest-face area. Rahman took advantage of it, and swung. it connected, Lewis went down...................Presto!
I couldn't care less, I don't care for Lewis, he is malicious, denigrating, uneducated, putting on "phony" pseudo-"upper-class" airs, except when his accent often slips, boy and does it slip, it collapses. Americans and foreigners can't differentiate between backgrounds and accents, whether educated or pretend, but I grew up there, and know.
Nothing is more laughable about him, not even his "deffnily".......or "I'd 'it 'im more with me left"...(I think he means "definitely")
Funny thing about it was how Rahman got rocked in the rematch. The shot Lennox landed on his As*s was like a watermelon getting shot with high-powered rifle.
Forgot who promoted Lewis at that time. But whoever it is took a very wet and lumping fart while looking the KO. Not even DEPEND can block it.
:rofl: :rofl: Well said!

I remember watching it live on HBO with a friend of mine and knowing I had just watched history.

Haha, I felt the exact same way when I was rewatching/editing it. It feels so weird because I remember watching this live like it was yesterday.
