Zviad, take it easy mate. I was just saying that Jones has been woefully gunshy in his last two fights, after getting KO'd by Tarver. I don't think anyone can dispute that.
Whoever said Lewis fought scared against Mavrovic obviously hasn't seen the fight. He was somewhat cautious in the first couple of rounds, but after that put some serious hurt on the big Croat. It was pretty much a one sided pounding, with Lewis landing every shot in the book - including some really hard body shots.
I don't agree that Lewis was scared in the McCall rematch. Just because he didn't charge into him, that doesn't mean he was scared. Yes, he was being careful, but that is understandable given the outcome of their first fight. He thoroughly frustrated McCall with his jab and was throwing right hands and uppercuts with real conviction. Lewis fought a great fight that night, its a shame that McCall's meltdown tarnished was was one of his best performances.
Also, Lewis did stand up to Tua in the first round of their fight, hitting him with some really heavy overhand rights in the first couple of minutes that made TUA reluctant to let his hands go for the rest of the fight. After that he hardly attacked, which allowed Lewis to jab his head off.
Against Tyson he did a similar thing, only he used hard right uppercuts to make Mike think twice about charging in. Watch the opening couple of rounds again, Tyson was sickened by some of the shots he took and, afterwards, even admitted that he was hurt early.
Anyone who has seen Bernerd Hopkins Beyond The Glory, could you please descibe the part when he breaks down in tears. I've heard about it, but don't have any details. Again, any help would be great. Cheers.
Does anyone think that Pacquiao might go into the Morales rubber match with the same overconfidence that he took into their firt fight? If so, then I can eaily see him dropping another decision.
What does everyone else think?
