Was holyfield really hurt in the first Lewis fight?

[Rocko]

A lot of people complained that Lewis didn't knock out Holyfield in their first fight. I just watched it, but I can't determine whether he was actually hurt in the fifth round or not. What do you think?

Forgedaboutit. Lewis was de man.

Forgedaboutit. Lewis was de man.

....Yeah, he sure looked like tha man getting his ass handed to him by big V, and knocked out with one punch by journeymen fighters.

Lewis definitely hurt him with that right hand early in the fight.

Lewis shouldīve given the decision, but I canīt remember Holyfield being really hurt .

5th round. Holyfield missed with a left hook and Lewis caught him, had him off balance really but unloaded some excellent shots to Holy`s body and had him raise his leg in pain, i think that was the only time Lewis hurt Holy and Holy showed the effects!

Okay, will watch this round tomorrow. Havenīt seen this fight for years (not one of my favorites...).

i saw a picture of holy a few hours after the fight he looked like elefant man.

he took a sustained beating by a 250 pounds champion , he was hurt during 12 rounds .
