    Although Lewis won the 3rd fight vs Rahman, did he deserve it?

    I credit Lewis for winning the 3rd fight, but there are a couple of things that are worth questioning. 1. Why did he not go for the 4th fight to try and level it between them? And two, obviously Rahman won by vicious KO in fight 1, which to be fair, Lewis did the same in fight 3, but why is fight 2, the ESPN brawl, so rarely talked about. Lewis wanted smoke and Rahman brought the fire. He rag-dolled Lewis like he was an empty suit. It was a clear and brutal UD points win. Footage here for those who may have forgotten, and if link does not work, go to YouTube and type in Rahman vs Lewis ESPN brawl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY5ABkVe3W0 Nash out.

      They had the 4th fight, behind closed doors at the Kronk. Rocky vs Apollo style.

          Dude, you piszed in the soup. There was no third fight. Clear and brutal UD points win in a fight that never happened? Hilarious!

            Because boxing is all about marination. Once we get Lennox-Vitali II, then we can get the Vitali-Rahman fight that got postponed, and then it'll be time for Lewis-Rahman to go at it again on Triller in 2026. Lennox-Bowe will hopefully be marinated enough by then too.

              He's counting the studio brawl as the 2nd fight and the actual rematch as the 3rd lol.

                Rahman was the only guy that I felt legitimately pissed Lewis off . He was insufferable after winning that belt and reminded Lewis about it constantly.

                  Yeah he had Lewis on strings leading up to the rematch. Lennox HATED the fact he had lost to Rahman. He got revenge in the end though.

                    Scary thing is, I could actually see Lewis vs Bowe on Triller. I’m sure there’s some cowboy commission out there that would criminally sanction it.
