@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- the crazy thing was he was coming off the back of being knocked out, I payed 15 quid for a ticket , place was empty , so I just walked down and sat ringside 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A few months ago, I visited Justine Fortune Gym, on Melrose / Fairfax in Los Angeles, thinking about taking lessons. Justine is such a genuine person, very down to earth and VERY ALERT EYES. Really good guy.
Justin Fortune wanted to go on. With a standing 8 count That would had been fair too Justin was keen to put it all on the line and win a war of attrition. I feel his disappointment in the TKO, because he was rock solid on his feet. But it was a massive mismatch and the referee had a duty. The same shit happened to me once against Solomon Hamuomono when I was already the 2 year reigning heavyweight champion of NSW yet I was over 2st lighter than my opponent. Justin helped me train for that fight. I feel his disappointment! He never stopped believing in himself.
I’m not saying Lewis wouldn’t have won anyway, but the referee was very biased throughout this fight in favour of Lewis. As soon as he saw fortune in trouble he stopped the fight, fortune was up immediately. Again not saying Lewis wouldn’t have won .
AJ should watch this. Lewis was coming back off the back of defeat 2 fights earlier to McCall. He’s tentative even hear but progressed by the 40% Makoney said he had in hun in 1995 and went in to be a great. In 2021. AJ is about at Lewis’ level at about the Justine Fortune fight. AJ needs to be a bit more technical but he nearly has the full package!
I know it's the refs job to protect both fighters but JF rose to his feet after 3 good upercuts,what on earth made the ref think JF couldn't or wouldn't continue is beyond me.Terrible decision you should be ashamed.
As they say It’s not the size of the dog in the fight But the size of the fight in the dog. Justin Fortune was still in with a fair chance of KO victory had the ref not stopped it. Having said that, it was a legit stoppage because Justin would had gladly died trying to ko Lennox Lewis. Death before dishonour. He did better than Mike Tyson did against Lenox Lewis shortly after. That’s why Emanuel Stewart chosen Justin Fortune as Lenox Lewis opponent. Because he has a very Similar build and style to Tyson. Lennox Lewis proved his own capabilities to himself that night.
Brilliant to see the whole thing again thanks 🇬🇧
The talent to throw those three uppercuts with that speed and accuracy is incredible for a man of that size.
Was ringside for it , and yip it was impressive on the night live , I remember saying holy shit when they landed 😋
@@humangaryg You were lucky to see it dude, i was 1 years old in 1995 i got into boxing around 2009 during the Manny Pacquiao Era

Triple uppercut on the run is how he beat Mikey T.

That ws the worst stoppage of all time.
実力差が有るにしても早すぎでしたね

Refs literal job is to protect both fighters. So - to borrow your phrasing - when he saw Justin “in trouble”, he did his job and stopped it.
Mercy stoppage. Three whiplashing power uppercuts in succession.
3 vicious uppercuts in a row with no defense is not a bad stoppage. 3 more and his head would have ended up on top of the rafters.
How often do you see a fighter land three uppercuts in a row? Lewis closed this show in impressive fashion.
Kudos to Fortune, played well and showed a lot of very good elements.
Lewis was quality but that was way too premature the stoppage
He got hit with 3 devastating upper cuts from a big puncher. fortune's head snapped violently back. Ref did the right thing.
Nah, that stoppage was correct. That was like 3 car crashes in quick succession.
Looks the Ref shoved Fortune over, not the punches from Lewis.😮

Aj is at Frank Bruno's level. He'll never be close to Lewis who wouldn't have been outfought by Andy Ruiz
The person in the audience shouting booyaka 😂

Frank Maloney, who now wears knickers and a skirt and calls himself Kelly. 😮
Wow
This fight was just a tune up keeping his tools sharp ready for when he got back in with the big boys .simple just keeping busy
Camera shots of Lenox Lewis mother kept the opponents crowd noise down it was visual intimidation 😁
was Justine Justin's sister?
Lennon Lewis es el mejor boxeador de todos los tiempos
Leão. De. Londres
hey ???? he is double his size
As they say
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight
But the size of the fight in the dog.

Another Lewis miss match!..... Payday.
