What happened to Henry Akinwande

[DiegoFuego]

I know he was DQed against Lewis for holding, but then his only other loss was to McCall by a first round KO. Obviously, he decided to slug it out with McCall, and we saw what happened to Lewis when he did the same thing. Why wasn't he more successful? Why didn't he fight more big names?

He had a fight with Holyfield lined up but had to pull out due to Hepatitus. He took some time off from it and I think thats what helped killed his career.

I thought the fighting Zulu was stopped in the 10th against McCall (could be wrong)...

Also I believe Henry knocked down LL in his fight and was not given credit for it-I wish I had that tape to check it out.

Akinwande won against some no-name guy in the Klitschko-Peter undercard. I saw the fight but can not remember the other guy's name.

I have the fight, i'll try to upload it tonight and send you it, its a good copy. Yes, it was a knock down and if i recall correctly Mills Lane was asked after the fight about his ruling and he claimed he was at a funny angle and missed it. On reflection he said the video showed a knock down and had he caught it, he`d have called it. It was more a balance shot though than a decent punch to be fair!
