never got the disdain for Lewis
his style was just fine to watch and he wasn't a twat
Rahman got a surprise KO on him, which was cool
just as cool when Lewis got his big KO in the rematch
2 good moments, never moved emotionally either wayComment

I remember rahman showing up in south africa 3 months before the fight. He was acclimated to the elevation & got in solid shape. Lennox totally overlooked him. He was too busy filming oceans 11 or 12 & partying with A list actors & i believe he flew in a week before the fight. Rahman had a tough fight with corrie sanders & lost to maskaev & tua. Lewis figured he'd crush him. Twice lennox took a guy lightly & both times he was on his back...Comment

is it me or right before the KO lewis was laughing at rahman's jabComment

I had money on that fight, after reading how Lennox arrived in South AFrica Late, and it appeared he was out of shape. I put 50 bucks on Rahman, and I won 6 or 700. I was really happy, but the way Rahman acted after the fight, I wanted him to get whooped in the rematch - and he did...lolComment

Definitely one of the best KO's in the HW division. That was the perfect punch...Comment

I was stunned when I saw it because this was the same Rahman who got knocked out of the ring against Maskaev. I wasn't stunned so much by the knockout as how frequently Lennox was getting hit with the right hand. It wasn't beyond the realm of possibility that Rahman could knock Lewis out. But he did not belong in the same ring with Lewis, he was much lower in class as a boxer.
The fight was actually pretty even, Lewis was dropping his left a lot and Rahman was timing him with the right hand, but Lewis was also hitting Rahman, and Rahman's eye was closing shut, but Lewis was also taking some shots. So it's not like it was a fluke. It was a close fight up until that point. But it was still shocking the way it played out.Comment
