Lenox fought Tyson after Mike wasn’t really the same. He was a lot more stationary. A lot more reserved. Not nearly as much constant movement and ferociousness and he wasn’t in the best shape. Lenox still basically had all his stuff. It was just a matter a time till Lenox landed that good shot. Tyson had to be told to weight and readjust his timing; to throw his punches at the right time.

Larry Holmes was old and washed up when Tyson beat him and Spinks should have never been in the ring in the first place. He was a light heavyweight. Tyson was old and washed up for this fight.

Lennox probably would have won anyway but he definitely continued to hold Tysons head down with all his weight. round 4 at 14 seconds left Lennox hit Tyson with good shot then leaned all his weight on his back and basically pushed him to the ground. Round 8 at 1:47 He hits Tyson and the ref calls a knockdown. Before Tyson even gets to his feet Lennox hits him again while the ref is in-between them. THATS A DISQUALIFICATION in every rule book I've read. After all the political stuff I think we all know Lennox would have won the fight with 9 times out of 10 with proper refs and judge
@davebunnell11053 жыл бұрын
BS, Foreman started having flashbacks of Ali. He sees holding in his nightmares. "Maybe" the first round some holding, but once he was warned everytime Mike came in Lennox was either having to push Mike off, or he had his hands in the air showing it was MIKE who was holding. Count how many times Lennox had to put both arms up like he was being arrested just to not get another bogus point removed. This was rigged to help Tyson reclaim a serious contender status, unfortunately Lennox beat him to a pulp.

I find it ridiculous that lewis was actually given respect of any kind for this fight. Ole Larry couldn't get off his knees long enough to see the fight, he was way to busy anticipating getting to swallow whatever lewis shot down his throat! much less share his pathetic insightful thoughts about the bout. Nevermind everything leading up to the awesome display of lewis's carefully laid plans to cheat his way to victory over Tyson coming to fruition. I coulda took that earth shattering punch that supposedly knocked Tyson down at the end of round 4! Listen to George just for a minute would ya? Beginning in round one! lewis embarked on a journey to drive Tyson to either lose it and get disqualified or to tire him out by forcing Tyson's head over so he could then put about 75% of his body weight on Tyson's back. He had little reason to be concerned about losing a point because he knew dam good & well that the tactic was gonna take it's toll on Tyson, which it did! George ain't exactly A punch drunk former boxer here. He knows what to hell he's talking about! lewis knew what he was doing. And had no problem executing his plan! It's clear that boxing wanted Tyson gone. My god man, listen one time to the most pathetic boxing commentator in the history of the sport. He was oblivious to anything lewis done! Mike had been fuckin up left & right in and out of the ring. That's uncontested! But but if I'm being honest. Round 5 should have been the round where he bit lewis's ear off on his way to grab sex stick commentator's ass up & bite his dam ear off too! There shoulda been ears laying everywhere on his way to the house! Mike got his ass beat by one & done or whatever his name was fair & square. But from the onset of this fight. I witnessed a hell of a fighter get done wrong as hell by his opponent! That dumb ass mouth sitting ring side & boxing as whole for celebrating such a pathetic chicken shit fighter! But,,,,,, I could be wrong about all of it. One thang I ain't wrong about though,. If lewis would have skipped his ass across the pond a little sooner? Mike would have ended his ass!

They were both past their primes, Lewis was actually a year older than Tyson. Lewis had a better game plan, Mike was out of shape and Lennox took advantage of that he leaned on Mike and pressed the attack Mike was way too stationary, he kept walking straight in eating everything Lewis was throwing. Mike was just out of it he lost his will. This fight should have happened 10 years prior the outcome would have been very different.

Came to find me with his entourage just to thank me and shake my hand. His hands were like a giant’s. He thanked me asked me if I was not too sad on how long the fight lasted, and then went to find all the people involved to thank them too. With his lovely smiling mum by his side as always. I’ll never forget that humbleness and still have the signed picture.

Tyson didn't have that 'killer look' he usually had before the instructions. I know that doesn't generally mean much, but he almost looked intimidated. His weak spot has always been getting hit with an uppercut and Lewis landed a couple that slowed Tyson down early. He threw plenty and led with a couple. That's normally bad, but he felt he could land it almost anytime.

I don't mind saying I shed a tear when Tyson was dismantled by Lewis. He showed the heart of a lion to stay in the fight. I was a skinny English white boy growing up watching Tyson's ferocious fights and he was hero to me. I now know that he was at times an animal outside the ring too and not a person to be worshipped. I thought he was so brave to stay in a fight that he must have thought was impossible to win. It's great to hear he's trying to turn his life around and be a positive role model for his kids.

I was a kid when this match took place so I don't remember it fully. Watching it now brings me to this point; I've always been opposed to clinching. There should be a point where the referee cautions the fighter and eventually leads to point deduction. I don't know if I've ever seen that many clinches in the first round of a boxing match.

Lewis is not flashy but I'll say as an ex- pudulist mysf Lewis can fight stumbling backward, falling, forward, ducking, doesn't matter. Forman, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe, Rudux (sp)all turned down Lewis in his prime. He, like Roy Jones Jr. can hit from any angle. They all were concerned he would end their career.
@therealc.t.70852 жыл бұрын
Holyfield and Tyson never ducked Lewis lol Ruddock and Bowe did. Foreman was an old man and that fight didn’t make sense. Lewis might have been the only fighter around that could have retired him. To me that’s just smart match making, Foreman would have fought him if he really needed to.

I’m my opinion I think his downward spiral started when he met don king and don filled his head with useless rubbish made him angrier than he already was because it sold tickets, when he had cus and teddy atlas in his corner they cared about him and wanted the best for him then don came along and filled his head with racist crap about how he shouldn’t mix with white folk etc and stole all his money while he was at it

Rocky Marciano had a similar problem. Because their training was so intense, by the time they were 31, they were spent fighters. Marciano retired at 31, Tyson had the DQ to Holyfield a couple of days before he turned 31.

What a great era for heavyweight boxing. Hopefully one day we'll see it stacked again, but the heavyweight division today is pretty good. There's 10 heavyweights I'd love to watch fight each other or fight each other again: Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Ruiz, Usyk, Whyte, Ortiz, Joyce, Dubois, and Parker.

Man Mike took a brutal beating the entire fight. He even admitted afterwards in the ring that he needs the money. He was really out of shape and aged. But I give him credit for lasting as long as he did. Lewis had a HUGE reach advantage, (height became an issue once Mike's eyes were both swollen closed). Both gentlemen. Both legends. But Mike took a huge risk being out of shape going in there with Lenox. Props to Mike for his bravery. Lewis was so relaxed that his hands were down the entire fight. He knew early on that Mike was slower than his early days. Surprised it went that long. Lewis could have finished him much earlier. But Lewis played the long game and gassed Tyson out. He landed 4x the punches as Mike. Wow!
@terrywho224 жыл бұрын
Lewis' fast right uppercut was the punch of the match. It limited Tyson's ability to get inside and do damage with his trademark bodyshots. Then with Tyson on the outside, Lewis could deliver blows and score points with the left jab, but it's the effectiveness of the uppercut that changed the spacing and kept Tyson from closing distance. Great fight!
@johndugard61193 жыл бұрын
true but what's the point of closing in when all these cowards just clench and hold when opponent comes in. holyfield also added headbutts to the arsenal. boxing has become a cowards sport. nevertheless, make no mistake, at tyson's prime holyfield or lennox had zero chance against tyson.
