Woo Hoo! Lewis KO's Rahman in the 4th!

[Laurel]

Lennox fought an amazing fight, and took that wannabe champ down with a gorgeous right hand. What a match!

I wish I was not poor and could have watched that.

Laurel is a boxing groupie...nah nah na nah nah.

Was it worth watching?..or just a good old-fashioned ass whooping?

 

[Angelus]

sounds like it was pretty much a good old fashioned ass whooping.

 

[Laurel]

It was worth watching only because Lennox was as good as I've ever seen him. He wasn't doing his strategic, no-risk game - he was out there to take Rahman down. His jabs even shook Rahman's head! HBO usually reruns the PPV's, so I'd catch it on the rerun.

The trouble with boxing (and all sports, really) is that I hate seeing anyone lose. As much as I think Rahman was a dick for trying to back out of contracts once he beat Lewis, I still think it's pretty cool that an underdog like him could have a moment in the sun. Now that his moment is over, I can't help but feel sad for him. I'm a dork, I know. lol.

Laurel,

Are you going to try to explain a love/hate relationship with sports to a Red Sox fan? I think not.

I would have been shocked if Lewis did not win on a knockout, he is a bigger man and a better boxer.

I still dont get why you give a shit about boxing...

but at least from what you said they did box instead of cuddle most of the rounds... nice change.

Oh yeah, and name the Aussie world champ.

I think I should take up boxing. I think it would be good for my health to be able to knock someone out. I wish I weren't such a whimp. I'm not sure I could ever actually hit someone. But, what a rush it must be for those guys.

I took Kung Fu for a year for that same reason. And it was great to hit & kick things! But the downside when you start sparring is that you get hit & kicked. We wore protective gear on our head & chests, but we still ended up with bruised shins and arms from blocking & kicking. You should've seen the looks Manu would get when we'd walk around together, me with bruises all up & down my arms. I wanted to put a big sticker on my forehead that read "I'm Not Abused - I'm In Martial Arts".

Nice to see Lennox win even if most big time fights thee days are more than likely fixed for better money and ratings

I hate to see an Englishman as World Champ. Things must be getting pretty tough in Britain. I like Lennox though, much better that Evander or Mike as a spokesman for the sport.

I'm just waiting for Don King to set up The Rubber Match: Lewis-Rahman III. Lewis could beat the last American champ while another former American champ, Mike Tyson, gets ready to fight him sometime in 2002 for a lot of money.
