Mavrovic was a magnificent fighter. He was technically good, tough and fast. Lewis outfought him over twelve gruelling rounds and Mavrovic was never the same. No one should snipe at either fighter - it is all up there on YouTube - as is this one. Why should anyone want to take anything away from Lewis, who beat every man who ever stepped into a ring with him? It is all up here for anyone to see.
Brilliant documentary! I love how you can feel the pre fight tension in the locker room. Never even knew this existed! Great upload, thanks for sharing.
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward Ha ha you really are perfetic and your hatred for British boxers. Makes you look stupid and very obsessed. Especially when you have named your profile after a British boxer, what a mug.
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward You have no boxing knowledge the for your opinion is irrelevant. Lewis is classed as a great fighter, by anyone who knows boxing. Foreman said he is one of the best of all time.
So what makes you think that people are going to listen to a sad virgin like you, who aint got no life and proably has no freinds so comes on you tube, to compensate for that.
@barmyarmy3 Man don't pay attention to JoeCalzagheTheCoward or Bobsino or Cowardrage, This person is a typical Lewis basher. Lewis has prooved evrything to everyone. He has nothing else to proove it and he is easy in the top ten of all time.
@danceswithwolvesful RING Magazine's Top-50 All-Time Heavyweights 1. Muhammad Ali 2. Joe Louis 3. Evander Holyfield 4. George Foreman 5. Larry Holmes 6. Rocky Marciano 7. Sonny Liston 8. Joe Frazier 9. Jack Johnson 10. Jack Dempsey ERM...........NO HE ISN'T...........HE AIN'T EVEN RANKED IN THE TOP 30!!!! HE WAS JUST A SPONGE CAKE CHINNED COOWARD, HE BEAT NOBODY
Want to quote a list which isn't 12 years old and wasn't a complete pile of shit even at the time of printing?
Lewis was 32nd on that list, and the man above him was Clevland Williams who was never a champion and is best know for getting knocked out by real greats. The man above that was Sam McVey who retired 100 years ago and who we know fuck all about.
This list is just a great example of the kinda shit Lewis had to put up with in his career.
LENNOX Lewis was reminded here last night of the harsh truth that he has waded to the top of the world through a pile of washed up drunks and junkies.
"Lionel Butler was on drugs, Oliver McCall was in and out of rehabilitation with drug and booze problems and Tommy Morrison went on drinking binges before the fight," said Steward.
Who was that? He was a very tough, very fit Croatian. He was undefeated at 27-0 of which 22 were by knockout and as with most of Lewis's fights he was the WBC's number one contender.
The fact is this undefeated Croatian was a freak of nature, this should have been another Shannon Briggs but the dude could take a punch like nobody.
You can quote tabloids all day, I actually remember the fights.
@BoxingPride Ive never seen Evander head butt anyone, with the exception of Quai, Dokes, Bowe, Chyze, Tyson, Moorer, Foreman, Vaughn Bean, Lewis, Rahman, Toney, Ruiz, and Sherman Williams. Other then that, I cant find a headbutt anywhere! Well, he did get that Jeremy Bates guy with a good one, but other then that... lol
@dan4579 And Ive never seen anyone foul Holyfield..Ive never seen him hit low-blows, rabbitt punches, holding, hit on the break, hit behind the head while tangled in the ropes, arm wrenching, biting, headbutts.. No, none of that was Ever done to Evander ..
The trouble people have understanding Holys style, is that he's an inside fighter.. its either he let his opponent back him up all night long, OR stand your ground and land inside punches to make the opponent stop advancing. Seems logical
@playmayker88 The trouble people really have is understanding someone who will foul, cheat, and do steroids in order to take what they believe they deserve more then their competitor. Then he acts like hes a favorite with "God", and thats why he wins. I shouldnt say the steroids were his, just because they were sent to his address to the name "Evan Fields". What a lame alias, lol.
@dan4579 Well, given all the naysayers who have always been out to discredit Holyfield as a fighter, particularly a HW fighter, you would think that if he had been on steroids, this same group of people would have put it all over the news at the first chance they got & with all the rules and regulations, and strict testing, especially of a high profile fighter like Evander, if he had been juicing, it would have been uncovered long ago. People are just bitter bc he's the best fighter of his era
@playmayker88 It was all over the news."Evan Fields" obtained testosterone and HGH in 2003. "Evan" shares an address and birthday with Holyfield. When ESPN called "Evan's" phone number, Evander Holyfield answered. "Evan" was also treated in 2003 for hypogonadism, or shrunken balls disease. The temporary heart condition Holyfield suffered in the 1994 Moorer fight is most commonly connected to HGH use, but Evander would not let the doctors test or pursue that avenue. Google "Holyfield Steroids"
i would love to hear the judge that gave the fight to evander explain themselves,ive heard that they gave the 5th round to evander!!! how the fuck?holyfield was dominated from start to finish i gave him 3 rounds and 9 for lewos,even if ya had it closer it would still be 8 rounds to 4 for lewis,or if you were biased it could be 7 rounds to 5 for lewis and thats being extre,ely kind to holyield,either way lewis won
@KIWIAZALWAYS the judge was a girl (Ugenia) or something and she was watching Holyfield beautiful smile the whole fight, i think she was in love... what a shame
@KIWIAZALWAYS I did hear her explain it on HBO post fight show a week later, actually! Uegena Williams said she can only score the punches she sees, and she felt that from her vantage point she saw Evander land more clean blows. She also said in the 5th, Evanders back was to her the majority of the round, so she could only see the punches that were landing on Lewis' face. HBO then showed video of her having a perfect side view when Lennox was pummeling Holy against the ropes, so shes just lying.
one of the worst decisions in boxing history.

Eugenia Williams deserves to die a painful, drawn out death. Don King deserves to die a death ten times worse.

Yet more bullshit.
September 1998 would be Zeljiko Mavrovic.
Who was that? He was a very tough, very fit Croatian. He was undefeated at 27-0 of which 22 were by knockout and as with most of Lewis's fights he was the WBC's number one contender.
The fact is this undefeated Croatian was a freak of nature, this should have been another Shannon Briggs but the dude could take a punch like nobody.
