@Maxshard Lennox very clearly won rounds 2,3,8, 10 & 11.

1,4 & 5 were 60%-40% rounds for Lennox and thus he won those 3 also.

Round 9 and 12 were VERY close, and probably should have been scored even (although I may have been merciful to Holy), but the only clear cut rounds that Holy won was rounds were rounds 6 & 7, which he definatley won well.

Overall though, I would say scores of either: 116-113, 116-112, 117-113, 118-113 or 117-112 in favour of Lennox would be fair - no closer or wider

@Maxshard Hmmmm, well, I genuinley think that Lennox deserves a bit more credit than saying he 'just' won the rematch, but you are of course entitled to your opinion.

If you look carefully, for several rounds Lennox was clearly doing more most of the round, and then Holyfield would try to steal rounds in the last 20 or 30 seconds. But a round lasts 3 minutes, and its important to remember that.

@Igloo591 I can see your point. I think that after the outrage over the first one (the travesty), that the judges may have had a little bias in favour of Lewis for the sake of the name of boxing, if it went close.

Holyfield definitely fought a better fight this time and lazy Lennox didn't capitalise the way he should of and intimidate Holyfield a little this time. It was actually pretty close but I'd still give it to Lennox anyway. Just!

@Maxshard I disagree, I thought Holyfield was still trying to win rounds in this second fight and was more competitve than the 1st, but he cheated with the headbutts. In fairness he clearly won rounds 6 & 7, & rounds 9 and 12 were very close looking.

The other 8 rounds though belonged to Lewis, and I thought the overall scores produced by the judges were more or less correct. 115-113 to Lewis was a touch too close, 117-111 for Lewis was a touch too wide, but 116-112 for Lewis was the best score
