Just saw some highlights, noticable difference between the 2 boxers with Tyson looking like he was unable to stand on his feet in that 8th round. Lewis on the other hand still looked fresh.
 
The more of Mike Tyson gettng pummelled the better.

Lennox was always going to be the tougher competitor, his long reach really would have screwed up Tyson.
 
If Tyson spent less time mouthing off and more time preparing, he might have been a slim chance. Lewis let his fists do the talking. Tyson thinks he is Ali - Mikey, you actually have to fight as well as shoot :rolleyes:
 
No real surprise.

Lewis just had to keep him at arms length for the entire fight.
He was bigger, taller, fitter and smarter then Tyson.

Not sure if anyone can really challenge Lennox.

i am glad that someone finally put this thug on his butt... from the ear biting incident several years ago he showed to the world he was nothing more than a common street thug... i have no respect for the man... from watching the tv tonight he was a sore, bleeding and sorry sight, he got done good and proper... couldn't have happened to a nicer guy... :D

~cheers all round for Lewis~

Before the fight I think they were both guarenteed US$17.5 million, don't know how much more Lewis will get for winning.
 
Pretty boring fight...Tyson just couldnt get inside of Lewis' reach and that was that....Lewis just kept jabbing him and Tyson couldnt even get close enough to make contact. He eventually went down in the 8th.

Make no mistake though if Tyson had the reach and height of Lewis the result would have been different. Both great fighters though.

Just what i wanted to happen, someone to show Mike that he was a shadow of his former self and to teach him some manners. If he had more match conditioning (I heard that Tyson was supposed to fight 2-3 more people before Lewis) and talked less he might have stood a better chance. It was pretty funny watching the Sports Tonight report where Tyson was all of a sudden humble and begging for a rematch. Now does Lennox retire like he said he would and who would be the number one contender regardless?
 
Lewis punked the punk.

Tyson looked old at the end.

Re Lewis's nationality BTige:

He was born in Britain and lived here in his formative years. His moter moved to Canada and left him in the care of relatives. A couple of years later, because he was misbehaving, she moved him to Canada. He was 11 at the time I believe. He lived in Canada for about ten years then declared for Britain.

I think he's a Brit, and always did.

He's certainly more of a Brit than certain 'Australians' that compete for them.
 
Predictable fight. Tyson has never handled big guys well.

Chris Byrd. I think he will fight on. Doubt he will fight Tyson again, perhaps Junior Klitschko will test him most but then again Ross Purity stopped him!

His nationality is a bit weird.

Born in England to Jamaican parents...won an olympic gold medal for Canada...but these days apparently spends the most time in Jamaica and I think considers himself jamaican mostly because his parents (mother) instilled Jamaican values and the lifestyle etc. He enters the ring to Jamaican music etc.

When interviewed in the UK, he is a Brit, in Canada he is Canadian and in Jamaica, he is cool mun! LOL

You get nothing for winning.

Both were guaratneed about US$17, but Lewis was to get a percentage of PPV buys - (expecting 1.5-2million buys@ $59.95 total).
Normaly Tyson would as well, but I think he made a deal with Showtime to cover a few outstanding debts.
