Lennox Lewis - The Undisputed Truth (Lewis v Holyfield) documentary part 5

[LarS1963]

Great video. Fascinating glimpse of Don King at work. The man is cunning, clever, greedy and wholly evil. Not many people are, but he is evil. He's been a disaster for professional boxing, and the terrible state the sport is in is large due to him and his main rival, Bob Arum.

Professional boxing has always been controversial, but now it's getting to where it isn't even worth watching anymore. Lewis was good, though. The last of the good heavy-weights.

"Even Stevie Wonder said he won"...classic British humour!

[JoeCalzagheTheCoward]

Lummox Lewis is a BUM.

How the fuck he didn't get disqualified / warned in this fight is unreal.

Check how HIGH his protectors are. Don Turner should of made an official protest. Lost respect for him not doing this. Holyfield should of too.

Even though Holyfield was washed up, Lennox had a sponge cake chin, a coca-cola beard and a CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BODY which would of CRUMBLED with Holyfields Body Punches.

Good job the coward avoided people in their PRIME

[niv6191]

Don king needs a slap!

[sugarraygras]

Bad decision. O connell should have been investigated.

[opera123able]

Lennox clearly won both fights against a stronger, more muscley version of Holyfield (compared to the Holyfield who lost to Michael Mooer and Riddick Bowe twice)

Lennox clearly won rounds 1,2,4,5,6,7,8 & 12 in the first fight, and clearly won rounds 1,2,3,4,8,10 & 11 in the second fight - this was despite him having to deal with Evander being a head-butting cheat in both fights

THe only clear round Holy won in the 1st fight was round 10, and the only clear rounds in the second were 6 & 7

[EvanderHolyfield7]

Evander lost first fight ,second fight was very close......Lewis had a lot of problems with washed up Holyfield so i think that prime Evander could knock this man out , but i respect Lewis for beating up Bitchko

[opera123able]

@EvanderHolyfield7

I respect you opion, but I dont think that Lewis had a lot of problems with Evander. He had a few, the main one being the Holy-Head Butt, which was the only way Evander could get himself into either of these 2 fights. In the 1st fight Lewis won 5 very obvious rounds, 3 fairly clear rounds and there were 3 close rounds, the only clear round for Holy was round 10.

The 2nd fight was closer round by round, but Holyfield still only won 3 rounds and Lennox clearly won 7 rounds.

[EvanderHolyfield7]

@opera123able i hate those bullshits about headbutt.i saw holyfield using head only in second fight with tyson. and you guys talking like he would headbutt everyone he faced.

[opera123able]

@EvanderHolyfield7

I know you love Holyfield and dream about him at night, but he DID butt Tyson a few times before the TKO in the first fight (go and watch the video if you dont beleive me), and again in the rematch, which provoked the ear bite. He also started to use the Holy-Head-Butt in the latter stages of his first fight with Lewis (round 10 particularly) and definatley used his head in round 6 & 7 of the rematch. These were the only decent rounds Holy had against Lewis, but he cheated.

[EvanderHolyfield7]

@opera123able do you know what tyson said after the first fight ? he said.he headbutted me but im headbutted him also.and holyfield in second fight had more than two rounds. it could be draw

[NazhitsREALLYHARD]

@opera123able If someone fights dirty then you fight dirty back... what better example to illustrate thann Floyd Mayweather's ruthless KO of Victor Ortiz. Tyson for all his bravado of being a big puncher, had little heart. He only went into a tear up if he knew he'd come out the victor but Holyfield broke his heart and put him to bed for good.

[opera123able]

@NazhitsREALLYHARD - I disagree with your atitude. As with some judges being crap, there are also some crap referees in boxing who dont control things as they should, which leads to people getting hurt, and ugly incidents like Holy v Tyson 2, and stupid incidents like Mayweather v Ortiz, when Joe Coatez was day dreaming instead of keeping the boxers apart until he shouts "BOX ON"!

These types of incidents simply hurt boxing, because who wants to pay to watch that crap?

@opera123able and the hopkins chad fight:)

[opera123able]

@kharte29 - What about it?? :-I

[kharte29]

@opera123able shit decision by the ref

[opera123able]

@kharte29

Oh yes, I agree. Another black eye for boxing whatever decision was made - but the ref was a total retard.

The powers that be should only employ unbiased judges and refs who have a brain.

[MrWarrenLO]

@EvanderHolyfield7

Not for nothing but you head early in this documentary Manny Steward telling Lewis never to leave the centre open and left him come close because he love to butt people. Emanuel Steward trained Holyfield it was said in confidence to Lennox Lewis, everyone knows Holyfield butts like crazy.

You can deny it but I don't know why you would, nobody cares about headbutting frankly, it's all in the game.

[topginge83]

lewis was robbed the first fight, hollyfield was robbed the second

[opera123able]

@topginge83

Your right about the 1st fight being a robbery - the punch stats being 348-130 for Lewis.

But the 2nd fight a robbery!!! - The punch stats still clearly still favoured Lewis, as he landed 34 more power shots and 24 more jabs, 58 punches overall.

Perhaps you need to watch the 2nd fight again without the anti-Lewis / biased Holyfield blinkers on.

[Duty281Returns]

About 10 years later God took his revenge on Evander by denying him a clear victory against Valuev. What goes around comes around bitch.

[JoeCalzagheTheCoward]

@Duty281Returns loooooool!!

Holyfield was denied a clear victory in the rematch, and he was a PENSIONER!

Good job the MARSHMALLOW CHINNED COWARD Lennox Lewis AVOIDED Holyfield when he was in his PRIME!

[Duty281Returns]

@JoeCalzagheTheCoward

Clear victory? It's clear you know nothing about boxing.

[JoeCalzagheTheCoward]

@Duty281Returns THE WASHED UP HOLYFIELD MURDERED THE MARSHMALLOW CHINNED COWARD LENNOX LEWIS.........MARSHMALLOW CHIN LEWIS WOULD BE A DEAD MAN IN HOLYFIELDS PRIME

[Damondeeh20]

one of the biggest robberies since Whitaker vs Chavez

[kuluku]

Lennox won both fights.

[topginge83]

hollyfield won the rematch though hands down and was robbed

[JoeCalzagheTheCoward]

@topginge83 Exactly, Holyfield murdered Lewis in the rematch and he was waaaaaaaaay out of his prime, imagine what Holyfield would of done to Lewis in his prime?

[dan4579]

Evander looked like fuck after the fight.

[expressivechild]

Other than Eugenia Williams, I can't understand how the other judge could call it a draw. Absurd. Seems quite obvious Don King orchestrated it so he could ensure a rematch happens... He wanted to control Lewis but Lewis won't let him. How can he even live to be 80? Someone put him out of his miserable greed for good!

[Groynesque]

Thank you for uploading this. Never seen it before, a fabulous documentary. The post-fight press conference said it all. Holyfield looked like a pensioner that had just been mugged - he needed the hospital, not a load of journalists questions asking why he was so badly beaten.

[expressivechild]

Clearly one of the biggest robberies in boxing history...

[danceswithwolvesful]

Rat ratten bastard Don King, you deserve to burn in hell. You stolen a clear win from Lennox. You had destroyed already Tyson when you fired out Kevin Rooney and Ali when you puted into the ring against Holmes and Berdick.

[JoeCalzagheTheCoward]

@danceswithwolvesful They should put Lennox Lewis's MARSHMALLOW CHIN on the bonfire too! haha

[SchweitzerMan]

Oh God I can smell the bullshit that Don King is giving off right now

[BoxingPride]

Fucking Don King the snake, well no shit the judges didn't think it... CUZ HE PAID FOR THEM. That doesn't mean he didn't get screwed... very cunning from Don

[boxingnews247]

Don King is an amazing creature - untrustworthy and a greedy criminal. A real gangster who has stolen, lied and manipulated his way to the top. However he has contributed a great deal to boxing

[TheASHC]

Can you see during the fight that Lewis got the exact same cut on the same eye in the same place that tyson also got when he fought holyfield. He fights with his head! and i dont mean that in a good way. He headbutts in every fight .

[danceswithwolvesful]

@TheASHC

I absolutely agree

[ruffa65]

Great upload!

[publicdoor1]

that is why boxers should always KO their opponent so it's definitive.

[ruffa65]

@publicdoor1 No, if you win more rounds you win the fight. It's boxing, not super knockout.

[publicdoor1]

@ruffa65 ko can win too. number of round is subjective to the judges..but a KO is definitive to every audience. if KO is not important that why even mention it on a person's record.

[ruffa65]

@publicdoor1 Yes, fights can be subjective, but Lennox clearly won this fight and was robbed by incompetent judging. That's the issue boxing needs to tackle, not making everybody go for the KO.

[publicdoor1]

@ruffa65 im not saying lennox did not win. am saying if there is a bias, which there was, then going for KO is the best option. KO is part of boxing in its simplest form..just like home run is part of baseball..KO is the very essence of boxing and points is secondary. when i watch boxing..i dont go by who score point..im go by entertaining hard punches and who got beat up more...now if you can KO with style then even better.

[KIWIAZALWAYS]

@publicdoor1 yea sort of agreeable but holy got beat up much more and the sport is called BOXING and lewis completely and utterly outboxed him and one judge gave holyfield the 5th round,what fight were they watching.even the judge who had it a draw was fucking blind i had it 9 rounds to 3 for lewis and alot of people had it 10 rounds to 2 for lewis,its the biggest robbery in the heavyweights that i know of,the fight wasnt even close
