@Thou Swell Well Tyson actually defeated Douglas with a TKO 10 count that was extended to a 12 count! Call me crazy but I think that defeat would’ve change the course of Tysons Career somewhat!

Both great fighters Tyson was an animal in the ring and Lennox was very clever those long arms were always gonna be difficult for Tyson to deal with Mike would need to keep his guard up alot because Lennox Lewis really could jab

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.

[@chytstorm]

19:40 - The holding in the early rounds was a big part of the strategy of Lewis's corner. When the larger guy holds and leans on you over and over, it does a number on your stamina. Muhammad Ali talked about this and used it many times toward the end of his career.

[@FFMM7]

Unfair and lame strategy against a total untrained, shot fighter.This isn't wrestling. Otherwise Tyson in his prime could beat Smith who used similar shit strategy.

[@Ricksta19811]

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

[@davebunnell1105]

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.

[@crimsonchin9632]

@@davebunnell1105 talking sense there mate, a rare thing on KZbin when it comes to Tyson fights. The problem is the "Prime Tyson" excuse guys literally have no idea what they're looking at when they watch a fight as they have zero boxing knowledge. They go on the biased commentary and are influenced by referees who should have gotten jail time for their criminal performances and the way Tyson performs when he's getting whooped eg headbutting Holyfield and making out he's being headbutted and crying about it or holding on for dear life and making out he's being held, honestly Eddie Cotton should've been banned from boxing for the performance he put in this night, shocking.

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!

When I relook at this fight I am still not impressed with Lewis. I was never impressed with him. He fought Tyson at the end of his career. Also I see a lot of holding.

Lewis fought a great fight. He used his reach to keep Tyson at bay, while jabbing him into a new dimension. This accumulated points and set him up for ultimate destruction. Perhaps most hilariously is Tyson’s corner telling him after the 7th he had two hands and he should use them and that he had already taken Lewis’s best shot. …Problem was by that point he couldn’t hit Lennox with *either* hand and and just *kept* taking Lewis’s best shot over, and over, and over again.

@@aikidoka00 yes. I think the jab is fundamental and it’s importance sometimes underestimated. Not only can you pick up points you might need in a decision, but these repeated blows are damage that can add up over time.

[@rhgamecock1]

@Jack Spade I hear you but I am not so sure I am buying that. I too thought Tyson was invincible until the Buster Douglas bout. Lennox Lewis is way better than Buster Douglas. Look at how Lewis handled Holyfield compared to Tyson vs Holyfield. That Lewis jab is second only to Ali's and I am not sure it isn't a tie there.

[@rhgamecock1]

@Jack Spade I do agree, however, that Ali would have beaten Holmes if both were in there prime. This is just not the same as Lewis is actually older than Tyson

[@rhgamecock1]

@Jack Spade I will agree that Tyson never was the same after the Buster Douglas fight and after Cus died. But, did you know that Lewis went to the Catskills and sparred with Tyson prior to turning pro (while Cus was there)? Both Tyson and Lewis have said that Tyson won their first match there but that Lewis won the second. I am an American and there weren't many bigger Tyson fans than me, but I am just calling like I see it. At 6-5, 245 with that jab and skill Lewis was a beast. I have Ali at 1 and Lewis at 2 right now.

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.

The fight was over after the second round Tyson knew he had no chance but still went out there

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

Was over after the first round lol. Tyson only fought for the first 90 seconds. Got caught with a few uppercuts and he was done.

At least the commentator had the guts to call out the bias...the ref was a total joke...anyway...the last shot of Tyson on the canvas bleeding from both eyes just about sums up the bout. Awesome display by Lennox Lewis.

[@anesu846]

Tbh he was letting Lennox hold all fight and ruled a knock down that wasn't. In another fight that knockdown ruling gives you a chance to recover and in another fight you might have withstood the storm and the wrongful knockdown goes against you. No way the ref can call it in the moment

Really VERRY VERRY GOOD JOB Lawis , I Like it I am Verry Verry happy & I proud of you , love you FROM india

[@jonlebon5086]

Mike was slow and anemic in this fight, probably the worst he’s ever done, 50% of his speed was there, zero aggression and limited bobbing and weaving that made him a menace for taller fighters. He just wasn’t into it at all.

Lennox lewis o cara é foda, poucos dão pressão ao Mike!
