    Oliver McCall - so what happened?

    Never seen the fight before - in a way, I still haven't, as I just saw the last round highlights.

    A nervous breakdown? Distressing viewing to be certain. Though credit to Lennox for not going all out on someone who was obviously not in a position to defend himself.

      The lewis McCall rematch was strange. i watched it live and i remember Lewis looked in appauling condition, very fat and tubby. McCall gave it a go in the opening two frames then once he realized that Lewis was gonna use the ***** jab and not exgage him he started going weird. Started walking around the ring crying. Mills Lane was the ref so you can imagine the choice words he had for McCall. Lane stopped the fight in the 5th round, ruling McCall was unable to defend himself!

        i've seen both fights and mcCall always looked to have a chance with that right hand, in the first fight he was catching lewis in the first round and then caught him with that blind right hand in the second round, the second fight was simalar he was starting to catch lewis again in the second, i think some people are being unfair to say he just caught him with one lucky shot, because he always looked dangerous until he broke down
