Why do so many people think that this was a controversial decision? Just because Lewis was robbed in Lewis v. Holyfield I doesn't mean that Holyfield should win every round in which he blocks Lewis's punches with his face. I don't see how its possible to give Holyfield 7 rounds. I personally had it 117-111 for Lewis.

Holyfield doesn't block lewis's punches with his facehe does a simple manourvre called "side-stepping" the jab, which was very effective. Personally I had Holyfield winning 6-5-1 with Evander taking rounds 3-5-6-7-9-12 . . . . of course a draw would've been suitable but Lewis did not score a clear victory at all . . .Comment

I gave Lewis rounds 1 and 2 because of his use of the jab, i had the 3rd even, the 4th to lewis, then Holyfield winning rounds 4 through 7, 8th round to lewis, 9th to Holyfield, 10 and 11 to lewis and the 12th as an even round!
My score was 116 - 114 Lewis. Close but lewis nicked it with the early work!Comment

I don't see how Holyfield won the 5th. If you judge Lewis that strictly then he was losing 60-54 to Vitali at the time of the stoppage. Something tells me that a lot of you people were letting Lampley and Foreman's announcing get in the way of your scoring.Last edited by Neuraxis; 10-28-2004, 12:52 PM.Comment

Lennox beat him BOTH times in my opinions. Yeah Holyfield was a great fighter but he met his match against Lennox and was lucky some mother****er bribed judges in the first fight.Comment
