Lennox Lewis is one of the very few intelligent fighters that scrutinizes an opponent while fighting. A true legend.

Lenox Lewis is a good jabber! The jab deceives you. What to worry about as a boxer is what follows after the jab. The knock out can follow if you don't protect yourself.

[@moaningpheromones]

Lennox could do damage just with a heavy jab, so in his case it's a big problem by itself.

[@Vor_Tex_Sun]

His jab was brutal. Short sharp pops

[@user-wb3ii3cs9f]

Holy field is the strongest man I have ever seen in the ring... Louis can't receive these punched and still be stable like him. Holy field is naturally strong. I love this man. I wish to see him before I die. I will name my son after him. But Louis is also the most intelligent boxer of all time, to my perception.❤❤❤. Both are great

How was Holyfield still standing after that 9th round uppercut from Lennox , that punch would have sparked any other man on the planet out.

[@georgegreig8054]

Yeah it was unreal. It did slow Holyfield down a bit I thought. Evander would have done him if he had fought Lewis a few years earlier I think.

[@georgegreig8054]

Look at the ones he took in the 10th round against Bowe. Unbelievable. Once again he was giving 30 pounds away.

[@danyoutube7491]

Yep, his punch resilience and conditioning were superb, Lewis was a big man with a good punch for his weight (not the very best pound for pound power, but good power) and Holyfield took those punches surprisingly well.

I was always rooting for Holyfield. Except when he fought Big George. Emmanuel Stewart made Lewis a more complete fighter. It really showed here.

[@simonhernandez2678]

Thought Holyfield won this. I always felt this was a make up call for the first fight

[@dilbaghsingh5182]

The calmness and composure of Lewis is making him great. No show off is his quality making him different from others. His skills and power are rarely found and he has the advantage of having all that .

[@itsmeabuelial4751]

Just as you say 👍🏻 Louis has a calm, stability, and dignity that made him a scary man for others, and this is why I loved him from the first time I saw him, as if he did not see his opponent.

[@dingiswayojuma7118]

Holyfield nearly went lights off with that big upper cut from Lewis. I think Lewis wanted to knock him down with that, it was a painful one

[@carlm.m.5470]

That referee appeared to be determined to keep Holyfield from being close in on Lennox. Holyfield needed to be in close and past the longer reach of Lewis to be able to make exchanges. That ref ended up being too much of a factor.

Memories of how hard Lewis could be to watch if you're British. He may be one of the greats (Holyfield too of course) but he usually gave the impression he was only in it to do just enough, if not asleep entirely. How many matches did he leave too close in fickle hands of unreliable judges when he could have won at the canter?

[@user-yr2nt9rt5c]

Need a super heavy weight and just a heavy weight category to make it fair..

That was a tough fight. Evander looked like he had had enough at round 8....but he kept boxing and took the fight to Lennox. This is an even contest for me.

[@ViktorVaughn86]

If Holyfield didn’t have that head butting shit, he’d be getting his ass beat again.

[@davidtuer5825]

I thought this fight was closer than the first. The Brits like a boxing match while the Americans like a fight, so very often appearances count for a lot. Lennox's jabs count for less in the States than Evanders rushing in with wild swipes. Also Lennox seems always to break and then stand with his arms by his side while Evander has his arms up and is bouncing about. I think Lennox won the first fight by a good margin, maybe these judges felt a little embarrassed about the first result.

He did better in 7-12 and won more than Lewis in that stretch, but he was barely at the races in 1-6 because Lewis kept his output high for most of those first six rounds and Holyfield had to work his behind off just to land one or two meaningful punches a round.
