@@danjithetruth1735 Lennox Lewis has lost only 2 professional fights in his life. He avenged them both. Not understanding what you're saying, I'm guessing English is not your first language.
Mavrovic had one of the best chins I’ve ever seen at heavyweight. The shots he took and never stumbled were really good shots and lots of them. I’m surprised we never saw much more of him in the 90’s. He was good 👍🇬🇧
Why we didn't see Mavrovic again was because nobody wanted a piece of him. He took everything Lewis threw and was never rocked, and threw solid shots back at him. He could have dropped some top 10 world heavyweights. Why in the hell would you take that risk unless there was a big purse put up? Zeljko was not a stiff, but a durable fighter.
@@Whitegorillaboy he was hard as hell. He would be a nightmare for anyone. He gave Lewis a tough fight. He should’ve been a big name of the 90’s heavyweight scene.
В ноябре 1999 года Льюис и Холифилд встретились повторно. По иронии судьбы, на этот раз Холифилд смотрелся лучше, чем в 1-м бою, однако для победы этого не хватило. По мнению некоторых экспертов Холифилд был лучше, но судьи присудили победу Ленноксу Льюису единогласным решением. Леннокс Льюис стал новым абсолютным чемпионом
Hats off to Mavrovic on his conditioning and chin. He took some bombs and kept walking forward. Not the most technical boxer, but he stood with Lewis for 12 rounds.

В марте 1999 года состоялся объединительный бой двух легенд - Льюиса и Эвандера Холифилда. Британец доминировал весь бой, попав ударов больше, чем Холифилд вообще выбросил, но судьи неожиданно дали ничью. Это было одно из самых скандальных решений в истории бокса. Был назначен реванш. Известный промоутер Дон Кинг после боя сказал, что если никто не был нокаутирован, значит это ничья. Холифилд заявил, что его выступление было затруднено проблемами с желудком и судорогами ног
"Most Lewis fans did not expect Lewis having to sweat out 12 rounds against a vegetarian from Croatia whose never been heard of on this side of the planet" .. Classic line!
Coz u know shit about boxing and thats a fact. Zed was rly good boxer and very skilful. Lennox was just better. But u do bealive that it was a lucky Andy Ruiz Jr punch, what AJ said, I dont.
Lewis knocked out Mike Tyson, but couldn't properly defeat a guy twice thinner than Tyson. Don't get me wrong, this is not aimed against Lennox, who is a top boxer by anyone's opinion. I'm just saying that nobody expected this much resistance from Mavrovic (just look at him) against one of the best boxers of all times. And Lewis is definitely that.
@@cinegraphics Maybe Mavrovic had a way better chin than Tyson and was never stopped in his career ? And being heavier does not automatically make your chin better.
Zeljko thank you very much for representing your country so proudly and bravely against one of the best HW of all time. You showed more then enough heart in this match even the mighty Lewis couldn’t put you down ❤️🇭🇷💪💪👊
no one would be able to take tat kind of punches from Lewis..really we have to appreciate the challenger. Lennox the big Lion and mavrovic a bit small lion. both are Great. no one ever fought against Lennox like tis. Lennox Lewis the undefeated lion.
I watched this fight that time. As a boxer, Mavrovic was very courageous. He took a real beating from the "great" Lewis but still coming forward. That is a how a passionate boxer is supposed to be, could take any hard shots without giving up.
@aaron pryor Agreed, that is usually the case. But in this case, I think Mavrovic would have been better off doing what Ruiz did, take it on the chin and just keep coming forward, and lay the man out. LL was a great fighter, great technique, but watching this fight, and the 2 fights where he was knocked down and lost, he doesn't have a great chin. That is why I think LL would have lost to a prime Tyson with Rooney still as his trainer [and Cus still being alive], and LL wouldn't have beaten a hard puncher with a good chin like Foreman in his prime.
George got it right-Lennox had a great jab (& a devastating straight right) but Lennox tended to get lazy, the times he lost we’re times were he didn’t employ them straight punches enough and looked past his opponents. He went hook-to-the-nogging crazy in both of them McCall fights.
Lennox had Alot of holes in his style. I kind of liked him better as a fighter before steward. Yeah Steward had success but he went too far into safety first. It also put more bad habit's Easter to see. He was fortunate to not fight many that could exploit them.

That was a great fight. Mavrovic was tough, fast and came with a plan, attack first. His style of charging in whilst throwing straight lefts and rights, especially in the first three rounds, would have been a challenge for anyone to contend with. All credit to Lennox, he did what he had to and turned the fight around for a comprehensive win on points. Mavrovic had a 27-0 undefeated record up to this contest and was the no 1 contender.

Mavrović said that the blow to the liver shook him. The punches he received in the chin, uppercuts, straights and crosses did not hurt him even though he felt them, but that punch in the liver shook him and he needed several rounds to recover.
The Croatin’ had the heart and fierceness of a tiger and an Iron Jaw! Amazing he could take those solid punches from Lewis and keep on. Good fight. It Looked like Lewis was shocked & amazed the guy wouldn’t go down! Good fight!

Man, boxing commentators are hilarious! I think their wit is matched only by Baseball commentators (A sport that I also love) Jim Lampley's one of, if not the, best: "I think he trained only a minute for the Briggs fight"; "If Zeljko upsets Lewis, will you start cooking tofu are your grill George?" LOL. Having said that, I think they seriously underestimated Mavrovic here. The way he stood there and took Lewis' best, while biding his time to deliver power shots of his own, spoke of a man who knew how the gas in his tank functioned: short fuses with high effectiveness--BOOM, BOOM, BOOM ⛽ Not that I think Lewis got outclassed here, he outboxed him for sure (I have it 9-2-1), but like my Dad always told me when I was a small child watching combat sports with him, "The Great thing about watching Heavyweights [fight] is all it takes is One Punch to end it." I believe Mavrovic had the cardio to best Lewis at the end, but he got put at Psychological disadvantaged early on by Lewis' punishing volleys! Great fight all around!

Lennox Lewis in my book and this is an American talkin! is at the very least... the number four or five greatest heavyweight boxer in the history of boxing. His height is weight and his incredible right hand punch, cannot be denied amongst the greatests!
For me he's the best of all time. There were boxers better than him in some areas, Holmes had a better jab, Tyson was more ferocious and powerful , Ali was more technically gifted and slick, others were faster... But few had all boxing qualities combined at such a high level.
IMO he's the best ever. Not every boxing match is suppose to be a drag out brawl. Lennox may brawl but if he can school you technically he'd prefer to beat you that way. He's virtually undefeated.
Kudos to Mavrovoc for going the distance, he is a hard case for sure. This was his last fight, he then developed a mysteryillness and lost a lot of weight, He also went into the agriculture business producing his own Eco Friendly food products but unfortunately I don't think it worked out.There was supposed to be a comeback in 2013 at the age of 43 but it was called off when he suffered broken ribs in sparring (not a good sign.) Not sure what else he's doing now but I think he might be a boxing reporter / commentator / pundit in his home country.
Mavrovic is naturally weights up to 85 kg max. He used to much additives or some shit to keep this weight around 100 kg for heavyweight. Those additives fuck up his health, especially his liver! If you see his looking now, that is his natural look.
Zelcho was very good for sure.. He was much avoided at the time.. Mccall, Hide, Akwinwande, the young Klitchos - no one wanted to fight him... Tyrel Biggs sparred with Zelcho for the Lewis fight.. Tyrel said Zelcho was much better than he thought.. Lewis knocked everything out of him in this fight..You could see Zelcho hated body shots..
Why didn't The Maverick go on to more televised bouts and title challenges? Seems like he fought this great fight and disappeared. Imagine paring him against W. Klitschko.
Lewis was one of the best heavyweights, maybe the best of his time. But it would've been very interesting if he could have fought a prime Ali, or a prime Foreman, or even Mike Tyson of the late 1980's. Vitali K. was ahead of him on the scorecards.
Never seen Lewis this tired in a fight, seems like he was tired even before the fight start. This might just be this lack of interest to train hard, under estimate your opponent, yeah he was just too tired, looking for that quick knock out. Mavrovic is pretty tough, didn't even drop down from Lewis's ruthless upper cut.
Guess Aaron you wouldt tell him that in his face would you... He was in a fight for the Titel in heavyweight. To come there is a loooong way of sweating blood. and now look at your comment. Did your mama not explain to you how that works?
razbio ga je Lewis ukupno gledano, pogotovo prema kraju kad je Željko morao juriti da ga uzdrma i ruši pa je morao malo srljati i tu je popio dosta teških udaraca. ali isto tako, Željko ga je imao u 7. rundi i malo je nedostajalo da dovrši borbu tada
@@vinkozmaic8660 kakva 7.runda ,lik ga dobio 7. rundu i jos malo tako ošamučen mu uzvratio takav aprekat,o cem vi pricate,Željko dobio jednu rundu tog meča jbt
Несмотря на то,что Маврович,явно уступал Льюису в физической подготовке,и классе,он не сломался,и сражался до самого конца,и делал опасные моменты, особенно в 7 раунде. Он всё сделал ,чтобы победить,и не занимался тем,чтобы выжить в ринге.
An exhibition match, towards the end Lewis let his hands dangle below his waist, did some funky dance moves, let it go the whole 12 rounds without making his opponent suffer too much, hope fully Mavrovic got a decent paycheck.
I remember watching this fight and Lewis was in his prime here. Never heard of the other guy but Lewis said he trained very hard and wasn't underestimating anybody. I thought 3 or 4 rounds max before Zeljko gets ko'ed. Man I was shocked how tough he really was.
That's 90s aspect boxers look so frightening bad ass.

What an incredibly good chin Zeljko Mavrovic had. Considering that maybe he was already sick in this fight makes it even more impressive.

@@johniby9133 baš bih volio tebe vidjeti pred strojem kao Lewis da li bi izdržao 12 rundi razbijanja.. Ako nekog mrziš mrzi ali Lewis je izjavio nekoliko puta da ga nije nitko namučio kao Mavrović jer se nije pripremio za 12 rundi. A ovaj nije ni blizu nokauta bio nijednom. A pogledaj kako padaju naizgled jači od Mavrovića pod šakama od Lewisa i to puno prije 12te runde. Ne znam tko je tu debil...

Mavrović said that the blow to the liver shook him. The punches he received in the chin, uppercuts, straights and crosses did not hurt him even though he felt them, but that punch in the liver shook him and he needed several rounds to recover.

The Croatin’ had the heart and fierceness of a tiger and an Iron Jaw! Amazing he could take those solid punches from Lewis and keep on. Good fight. It Looked like Lewis was shocked & amazed the guy wouldn’t go down! Good fight!

Man, boxing commentators are hilarious! I think their wit is matched only by Baseball commentators (A sport that I also love) Jim Lampley's one of, if not the, best: "I think he trained only a minute for the Briggs fight"; "If Zeljko upsets Lewis, will you start cooking tofu are your grill George?" LOL. Having said that, I think they seriously underestimated Mavrovic here. The way he stood there and took Lewis' best, while biding his time to deliver power shots of his own, spoke of a man who knew how the gas in his tank functioned: short fuses with high effectiveness--BOOM, BOOM, BOOM ⛽ Not that I think Lewis got outclassed here, he outboxed him for sure (I have it 9-2-1), but like my Dad always told me when I was a small child watching combat sports with him, "The Great thing about watching Heavyweights [fight] is all it takes is One Punch to end it." I believe Mavrovic had the cardio to best Lewis at the end, but he got put at Psychological disadvantaged early on by Lewis' punishing volleys! Great fight all around!

Lennox Lewis in my book and this is an American talkin! is at the very least... the number four or five greatest heavyweight boxer in the history of boxing. His height is weight and his incredible right hand punch, cannot be denied amongst the greatests!
For me he's the best of all time. There were boxers better than him in some areas, Holmes had a better jab, Tyson was more ferocious and powerful , Ali was more technically gifted and slick, others were faster... But few had all boxing qualities combined at such a high level.
@@dstfno ⁷⁷⁷
IMO he's the best ever. Not every boxing match is suppose to be a drag out brawl. Lennox may brawl but if he can school you technically he'd prefer to beat you that way. He's virtually undefeated.
Maybe top 20, not even in the top ten. Evander Holyfield rated much higher...
@@neildarealdeal7129 😂😂🤡
Mavrovic has faced Lewis with great boxing technique. Lewis has on some occasions proved to be very uncomfortable in attacking.

Kudos to Mavrovoc for going the distance, he is a hard case for sure. This was his last fight, he then developed a mysteryillness and lost a lot of weight, He also went into the agriculture business producing his own Eco Friendly food products but unfortunately I don't think it worked out.There was supposed to be a comeback in 2013 at the age of 43 but it was called off when he suffered broken ribs in sparring (not a good sign.) Not sure what else he's doing now but I think he might be a boxing reporter / commentator / pundit in his home country.
Mavrovic is naturally weights up to 85 kg max. He used to much additives or some shit to keep this weight around 100 kg for heavyweight. Those additives fuck up his health, especially his liver! If you see his looking now, that is his natural look.
Fuck me maybe he could have been a good cruiserweight!!
Lewis mentioned this fight on Joe Rogan and said how Mavrović was one of his toughest opponents. He said Mavrović just would not fall.
Zelcho was very good for sure.. He was much avoided at the time.. Mccall, Hide, Akwinwande, the young Klitchos - no one wanted to fight him...
Tyrel Biggs sparred with Zelcho for the Lewis fight.. Tyrel said Zelcho was much better than he thought..
Lewis knocked everything out of him in this fight..You could see Zelcho hated body shots..

Why didn't The Maverick go on to more televised bouts and title challenges?
Seems like he fought this great fight and disappeared. Imagine paring him against W. Klitschko.
Dzięki za wstawienie tej klasycznej walki
He came back to boxing few days ago at the age of 52, this was his first match after lenox fight, he beat the shit out of some 26 yo georgia guy
No he didnt . Thiswas his last bout and his only loss
Lewis was one of the best heavyweights, maybe the best of his time. But it would've been very interesting if he could have fought a prime Ali, or a prime Foreman, or even Mike Tyson of the late 1980's. Vitali K. was ahead of him on the scorecards.

@@Da_Publick They bring it up because Klit was ahead on the scorecards.
@@Steve52344 But they get lost at 'tko 6th round?' Sounds like selective memory; but that's okay. I'm more than happy to help people recall it. 😊
Never seen Lewis this tired in a fight, seems like he was tired even before the fight start. This might just be this lack of interest to train hard, under estimate your opponent, yeah he was just too tired, looking for that quick knock out. Mavrovic is pretty tough, didn't even drop down from Lewis's ruthless upper cut.

razbio ga je Lewis ukupno gledano, pogotovo prema kraju kad je Željko morao juriti da ga uzdrma i ruši pa je morao malo srljati i tu je popio dosta teških udaraca. ali isto tako, Željko ga je imao u 7. rundi i malo je nedostajalo da dovrši borbu tada

Несмотря на то,что Маврович,явно уступал Льюису в физической подготовке,и классе,он не сломался,и сражался до самого конца,и делал опасные моменты, особенно в 7 раунде. Он всё сделал ,чтобы победить,и не занимался тем,чтобы выжить в ринге.

An exhibition match, towards the end Lewis let his hands dangle below his waist, did some funky dance moves, let it go the whole 12 rounds without making his opponent suffer too much, hope fully Mavrovic got a decent paycheck.
Boxing oficial pls request only. Give us more more boxing fight. 15.rounders thank. You. God bless you..

I remember watching this fight and Lewis was in his prime here. Never heard of the other guy but Lewis said he trained very hard and wasn't underestimating anybody. I thought 3 or 4 rounds max before Zeljko gets ko'ed. Man I was shocked how tough he really was.
Lennox Lewis was a crumb cake short of being a bum.
Lennox said he didn’t train for 12 rounds and that’s why he was huffing so much at the end
