Well done Henry, you get your big chance after years of fighting and you do nothing except make yourself even less marketable than you were before.

Yeah he basically killed his boxing career with this fight. Akinwande was a gutless, heartless, dummy. If I was 6'7" and had that body, nobody would stand in my way. I'd trade punches with anybody.

[@neilyringworm]

Akinwande was very much avoided around this time so it was a better win than many gave Lewis credit for. Dq or not, it was a win

[@Myndir]

Lewis had a great strategy to pressure Akinwande and not give him room, in order to finish him quickly. This was Lewis's strategy against most big men: it worked well against Derek Williams, Akinwande, Michael Grant, and Golota; not so well against Vitali and Mavrovic, who were so tough that they could take Lewis's bombs; and eventually against Shannon Briggs, who had a good chin and power but was ground down by Lewis.

[@Myndir]

He didn't use it against Tucker throughout the whole fight; when he did, he was most effective. Razor Ruddock was so easy for Lewis to counter that he kept jabbing and waited for the right hand after the jab to the body, which was a brilliant angle for beating Razor.

♡♡♡ HENRY AKINWANDE FORSHADOWED MAYWEATHER JR. AND HIS PATHETIC DEFENSE AND OFFENSE. HE HAD TO ABUSE HUG, CLINCH AND OTHER DIRTY TACTICS AGAINST THE BOXERS WHO DEFEATED HIM. HE LOST TO AUGUSTUS, CASTILLO, MAIDANA, COTTO, DELA HOYA, PACQUIAO, ETC. EDIT: MAYWEATHER JR. HUGGED MAIDANA 76 TIMES IN ONE OF THEIR BOXING MATCHES. HE WAS NEVER DISQUALIFIED FOR ABUSING HUG AND CLINCH EVERYTIME HE FOUGHT IN THE RING. GO AHEAD! GOOGLE IT! YET, HE WAS NEVER CALLED OUT AND DISQUALIFIED FOR IT. LOL. IT WAS NOTHING BUT BOXING CORRUPTION AT ITS FINEST. ♡♡♡

RIP Mills Lane.

[@maidenslayer]

He's still alive.

[@isaacmacca8745]

it was a ridiculous performance by henry but I have to be honest n so should all the big brave men on here what would you do if lewis was tryna take you head clean off ? lets be honest we would all either faint off his first jab or jump out the ring atleast I'm being honest n not giving it the big in bcos I'm on youtube

[@gerwulfthered154]

Creeper@ So firstly, the commentators on here are not professional boxers who get paid millions of dollars to fight. Secondly, your comment means that every fighter who gets into the ring with a powerful world champion should clinch and hold. What a load of rubbish.

[@Myndir]

If Akinwande didn't want to fight, he could have taken a knee and let himself be counted out. That would be just as dishonourable, but at least would have saved Mills Lane and Lewis some unnecessary effort (as well as the crowd's valuable time).

[@maidenslayer]

His job is a boxer. He's there to fight. I wouldn't fight. But that's not my job.

[@lockekeplinger4418]

Both seem complicent in the hug fest. Their arms are tied up before most clinches. Mayweather made a career of this. Ali beat Frazier using similiar methods.

[@tlig]

McCall Ko'd both these guys.

[@seanmcmanus867]

He beat John Fury didn’t he

[@htechdance]

Holding should not disqualify you. If Lewis could beat this guy honestly it would have happened. But he didn't and was overmatched and the ref went out of his way to save him from humiliation.

[@monkeyb1820]

Akinwande pulled a bonehugger smith. It was a good DQ.

[@medricadu8863]

I think that they said that Lennox Lewis was to analytical in the ring because he was a virgo
