Lennox Lewis was knocked out in 2:30 of the 5th round. Hasim Rahman is the new Heavyweight Champion of The World. Lewis did not take this guy seriously and was smiling at the guy right before the knockout. Rahman landed a picture perfect right, square on Lewis' chin. It was a thing of beauty. Lewis was dazed and down for the count. He couldn't have continued. What a brain jiggle. Lewis' eyes were glazed and he could barely get up. What a fight... rH ------------------ Homecourt will always be 'The Summit' to me!! Until we move downtown!! The Psychedelic Groove House of Rockets Basketball Love!

Man that fight was a waste of time. They hugged each other more then members of the Tanner family. Lenox's boring style of jabbing was going to catch up with him some time. Good thing this garbage wasnt on PPV. I would have been kicking myself if i paid 50 bucks. ------------------

What you say!!! btw, who would have thought Rahman had it in him? ------------------ It's my way or the highway!
I'm not a boxing fan - but Wladimir Klitschko will easily knock out this Rahman guy and would knock out Lewis as well.
Whoa! I didn't even know there was a title fight coming up. What channel was this on? ------------------ "I'll be gettin real drunk and making fun of everybody"
I'd also like to add that I'm semi-mad about this. Lewis could have been the only chance to keep us away from Tyson. I think Lennox would have kept Tyson away with his height and length and his penchant for not wanting to fight his opponent (Holyfield). Tyson would have been frustrated and probably bitten Lennox's nipple or something. Hopefully there will be a rematch first, although I could easily see boxing giving Tyson a shot ahead of a rematch for Lewis. That would tick me off. ------------------ "I'll be gettin real drunk and making fun of everybody" [This message has been edited by TheFreak (edited April 22, 2001).]

I am glad that Lennox Lewis is not the champ anymore. He is the most boring fighter in boxing. Of all the sports, boxing is the one that really needs a rule change. Get rid of decisions and fighters like Lewis will fall by the wayside. ------------------ "Of course, thats just my opinion, I could be wrong" -- Dennis Miller
I don't like this idea because it aids moronic psychos like Tyson, and hinders the intelligent fighters who have some things in mind other than winning millions of dollars... like their health. I don't watch boxing, so you may be right, it would probably make the matches more exciting, but I just don't like the principle it seems to condone, which is madly beating the hell out of each other is better than striking quickly and accurately, then retreating to devise more of your gameplan. ------------------ Watch out for gay Limbo Dancers.
