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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

I caught a pod cast with Mike and Eminem having a random back and forth banter mainly about mistakes made and where they came from. I have always loved Mike for being the warrior he is, but its so humbling to hear such care and compassionate words come from his mouth in his old age. He speaks about getting a second chance when cast in hangover and decided to take a different path with fame and fortune, talks about being a humanitarian that just wants to be a part of the legacy that is boxing. People who surprise with greatness' not just once but twice in life are so fucking rare aren't they.

Lennox was my favorite boxer of my adult life. Period. A true skilled boxer. Great skill.

What a great era for heavyweight boxing. Hopefully one day we'll see it stacked again, but the heavyweight division today is pretty good. There's 10 heavyweights I'd love to watch fight each other or fight each other again: Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Ruiz, Usyk, Whyte, Ortiz, Joyce, Dubois, and Parker.

Lennox Lewis is a legend but Tyson was obviously way past his prime in this one.

They were both past their primes, Lewis was actually a year older than Tyson. Lewis had a better game plan, Mike was out of shape and Lennox took advantage of that he leaned on Mike and pressed the attack Mike was way too stationary, he kept walking straight in eating everything Lewis was throwing. Mike was just out of it he lost his will. This fight should have happened 10 years prior the outcome would have been very different.

Mike Tyson a legend! Lennox the full purist package! Adore the memories! So many thanks!

Fantastic modest and totally honest interview there by Mike.

RIP referee Ed Cotton you are missed my dear friend.

Mike is a survivor who will do whatever it takes. Little did we know.

Look at Jim keeping his voice down in the interview so the baby can sleep. Class.

I was a kid when this match took place so I don't remember it fully. Watching it now brings me to this point; I've always been opposed to clinching. There should be a point where the referee cautions the fighter and eventually leads to point deduction. I don't know if I've ever seen that many clinches in the first round of a boxing match.

The larger fighter gassing the smaller, aggressive fighter by repeatedly leaning on him is a very old strategy. This is almost identical to the way Ali fought Frazier and many other fighters as he got older. Any boxer who uses it knows they are going to get warnings from the ref and even points taken away. It's always been like that. They just have to make up the difference with good shots in between, or knock the guy out.

Tyson didn't have that 'killer look' he usually had before the instructions. I know that doesn't generally mean much, but he almost looked intimidated. His weak spot has always been getting hit with an uppercut and Lewis landed a couple that slowed Tyson down early. He threw plenty and led with a couple. That's normally bad, but he felt he could land it almost anytime.

He thanked me asked me if I was not too sad on how long the fight lasted, and then went to find all the people involved to thank them too. With his lovely smiling mum by his side as always.

Tyson has a lot of fear in his eyes in the prefight ring walk. Sad to see him washed up like this. Not a true reflection of his early abilities.

I’m my opinion I think his downward spiral started when he met don king and don filled his head with useless rubbish made him angrier than he already was because it sold tickets, when he had cus and teddy atlas in his corner they cared about him and wanted the best for him then don came along and filled his head with racist crap about how he shouldn’t mix with white folk etc and stole all his money while he was at it

Rocky Marciano had a similar problem. Because their training was so intense, by the time they were 31, they were spent fighters. Marciano retired at 31, Tyson had the DQ to Holyfield a couple of days before he turned 31.

@@hairyplotter1121 You are so right. Cus would've never did Tyson dirty like Don King did. Yet, they played the race card and Tyson got bamboozled out of a lot of money. It shouldn't matter the race of a man but the condition of the heart.

Thank you Lennox for silencing these "Yeah but prime" Tyson fans at last.

My left ear liked hearing this fight.👍

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

I watching this from Guadeloupe on Caribbean with friends and I never forget

Lennox Lewis one of the greatest boxer who beat all the great champions ! Perfect fighting machine ! If fighter not ready for the fight he shouldn’t go into the ring but if you accept the challenge and lost don’t make excuses! Great fighters who lost they fights comeback and prove to all they can beat opponent and Lennox did it when after his loses he crashed opponents! Great warriors Lenox Lewis , Rocky Marciano , Evander Holyfield, Ali !in this fight Lennox was 36 years old and Tyson 35 years old, it’s not like Klitchko was fighting Joshua ( 41-27) or Foreman Vs Moorer.

I still remember this match in 2002 in India when I was 18 years old it was a bloody encounter

I’m watching this fight again for the 10th time and I will stay for the 10th time that the referee favoured Mike Tyson and was a little biased

Lewis was sharp, but he definitely had an advantage with his size and reach.

Excuses then tell Mike Tyson to go to box Welterweight class then if he can't handle the smoke vs better boxer Lennox Lewis

I only wish that Lewis had the chance to fight Tyson when Mike was in his prime🥊💥🧐
