Highlights of the two classic bouts in 1999 for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship between Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis.
13th March 1999, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis finally clashed for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship. Negotiations between Holyfield and Lewis camps have been ongoing for a long time before this fight materialized. This fight was billed as “Undisputed". The WBC, WBA and IBF titles were on the line for both men.
In 1997, Lennox Lewis regained the WBC strap from Oliver McCall in a bizarre outcome, where McCall infamously broke down and unwilling to throw punches forcing the referee to stop the fight. In 1994, Lewis was shockingly upset by McCall in the second round via a controversial stoppage.
This is the highlights of Lewis-McCall I & II; • Lennox Lewis vs Oliver... .
Lewis had defended the WBC title four times with wins over Zeljko Mavrovic, Shannon Briggs, Andrew Golota and also Henry Akinwande (in yet another bizarre conclusion as Akinwande refused to stop holding despite countless warnings by Mills Lane leading to a disqualification).
From 1996 to 1998, Holyfield enjoyed a 5 year win streak including a rematch victory over Michael Moorer, a decision over Vaughn Bean, a stoppage over Bobby Czyz and two notable victories over Mike Tyson; the first bout was a huge upset victory as Holyfield came in a huge underdog, and a disqualification victory in the rematch in the infamous ear biting incident.
In March 1999, Lewis-Holyfield finally took place. Holyfield confidently predicted a third round knockout but to the surprise of many, Lewis dominated the fight showing improved defense and effectively outboxing Holyfield throughout the fight. Lewis looks en route to his career defining moment until the official scorecards were announced; a draw. Although Lewis was robbed of his moment but this defeat won him tremendous respect in the eyes of the public who obviously see Lewis as the deserving winner despite the outcome.
Showtime analyst Steve Farhood stated “He would put this in the top five for the worst decisions he’s ever seen”.
13th November 1999, precisely 8 months after their first encounter a rematch takes place. This time it is rightfully billed as "Unfinished Business”. Lewis came in as a slight betting favorite against Holyfield. This time, the fight was closer than their first encounter as Holyfield showed marked improvement in his performance from the first bout. Although the fight was not as one sided as the first, but Lewis in most rounds have thrown and landed more against the smaller Holyfield. The best round of their fight is round 7 where both men had their moments as stated by Jim Lampley “Round 7 the best round these two fighters have fought against each other in two fights”.
Lewis became the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion, winning by unanimous decision with scores of 117-11, 115-113 and 116-112. Lewis would go on to beat David Tua, Mike Tyson, Michael Grant, Frans Botha, Vitali Klitschko and Hasim Rahman (in a rematch) before retiring from the sport with a record of 41-2-1 and both losses avenged with rematches.

I like Evander Hoyfield as a fighter. He didn't talk trash like a lot of other fighters. He just got in the Ring and did his thing.He had a lot of class.
He fought all top heavyweights of his era - Tyson, Lewis, Bowe - and win or lose, fought all of them close.
Unquestionable heart and skill.
@@ProshnoKoutuhol George foreman even tho he almost lost to knock out he did his thing
But we like that trash,thats what gets us edgey as the fans
Yeah and i think that his headbutts are just a childish sad excuse for his amazing wins and battles
Lot of class you blind fuk he's a cheater watch it closely he continues to try head butting
Lennox deserved much more recognition for his place in history. He was one of the GOATS.
I don't think so!
@@gadd3690 how? He fought everyone, and if he didn’t they ducked lol
Lennox was a beast. I always thought he needed just a touch more aggression.
@@Chiller01 most definitely I think so as well 💪
He is the goat
Lenox Lewis power was so underrated . The dude could crack
Oh hell nah they knew he had power, that hard poleaxe left jab and that freight train of a right hand.
one of the best fighters ever, Lenox Lewis
@@lunafringe10 Agreed man
@@grayplob8988 I think he was the best heavyweight tbh
@@grayplob8988 yeah
I was never a big Lennox Lewis fan, but he has to get his props for what he has done in the heavyweight division! RESPECT! ✊🏾
This era of the 90's was just INSANE: Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, Tua, Morrison, Moorer, Bowe, Golota, Ibeabuchi, Ruddock, Foreman. NO other era could compete with this one.
No doubt
Don’t forget the 70s. Ali, foreman, Frazier, Lyle, Norton, shavers,
70s was the golden era of the heavyweight division
70s.
70s to 90s were the golden era of Heavyweight Boxing. From Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman, then Mike Tyson, Holyfield and Lennox Lewis. Damn good old times!
Lennox's uppercut is what separated him from so many other heavyweight giants. Most of them could throw 1-2s no problem but struggled to fight on the inside once their opponents got in close. Lewis on the other hand would absolutely punish swarmers with that powerful and accurate uppercut, keeping them honest and at bay from wanting to go in too recklessly
For sure he would use that when close or after throwing a right and left jab ...he don't get credit for his hand speed either to be a to throw that many punches for thatany rounds at his size is amazing ...i re watched these fights and thought he would tire out he did a little but still kept those punches coming ...he deserves so much more respect in his history he's definitely one of the most over looked champions of this era
All respect for Holyfield he fought almost all the professional tougher boxers, who boxed in his time
Yea he didn't shied away from anyone he beat older legends like George Foreman , Larry Holmes from hes generation Riddick Bowe which has only 1 lose and thats to Holyfield. Mike Tyson , Lennox Lewis , Michael Moorer , John Ruiz he fought all the tough guys that were there and he did pretty good. against them Just like Muhammed Ali he took toughest opponents fought most of the champions maybe he wasn't succesfull as Ali but regardless Evander is great and deserves respect.
@@CurrentlyOffliner Don't forget the mighty Burt Cooper and Mercer. My gosh.
Riddick Bowe 1 2 3 🔥
And used steroids. Go Evander!
@@Turanian209 😂 riddick Bowe the guy who refused to fight Lennox Lewis repeatedly!
Its a shame that this era of boxing is over. So much energy in these matches. Unbelievable ! I've got goosebumps watching this.
WTH are you talking about? We have the best K.O specialist nowadays: Dentoy Wilder
@@JPX3100 wilder has nothing on these gladiators so you just need to quit sitting on the toilet while you pee
That's only goes for the heavyweight division, the lower weight classes are as good as it's been if not better
So when did the sport of boxing die out?
NOBODY I mean absolutely NOBODY had more Heart than Evander Holyfield
Dom I know right dude got up 14 times after big foreman knocked him fown
Dom yeah man who’s your top 10 favorite hw of all time?

The only good way to react.
Holyfield is pure class. Legend.
Not so much, A DECADENCE TYSON SAVED HIS LIFE. Before that HE WAS WALKING FAST TO THE RETIRE.
Mike Tyson is the best better than ivander holiviel
he was a known head butter prior to tyson and threw around 15 low blows against tyson
What a chin on Holyfield👊🏻
The bigest !!! It's awful what this guy was able to take!!! and keeping his rage though!!
I'm a Lennox fan, but I do remember seeing an interview on British TV he did after these fights (a long time ago, and sadly I can't find a vid clip for it) . He was asked why he couldn't knock E.H. out, and his honest reply was exclaimed loudly "HAVE YOU SEEN HIS NECK !"
I love Lewis but Holyfield was amazing.
@@mjpleusch lewis Was too much better better tehnike and fester stronger

I love to see Holyfield fight..That brother had no give up in him. Just keep coming and coming. You are truly a champion.
Holyfield had amazing technique, very tight.

Steroids tend to have that affect.
Had they met before Evander was in all of those brawls earlier I think Holy would have knocked Lewis out.
@@marinewillis1202 I agree
This fight reminds you how much the 90’s heavyweights put today’s heavyweights to shame
Lewis was definitely one of the GOATS.
Holyfield too.
They thought everyone and each other.
These 2 were the best of this era
Agreed 100%.
Mike Tyson prison slowed him down a bit.

They are and tyson easily gets humiliated by them
@@sorakazama7031 Doug Wtf? Did you check his records?
@@NORATEDvii lol records dont mean shit, Douglas destroyed Tyson back then just deal with it
Actually the second fight should be a draw and the first one a win for Lewis.
I agree
I remember watching the first fight on HBO when it happened. I was a big time Holyfield fan but it was obvious he had lost. During the after fight interview, you could see the shame in Holyfield's eyes because he knew Lewis had been robbed.
I agree
No chance.. Hollyfield did better in the second fight, but he probably won 4 rounds.. Lewis clearly won both fights
You’re right
I'd forgotten just how good these guys were
3:30 crisp boxing
Evander very impressive when you think of the fights with Lennox, Foreman, Tyson, and Reddick Bowie. All great matches. Unbelievable heart.
He cheats every fight so I wouldn’t exactly say he has heart lol that and he gets some encouragement from the roids he’s on
Lock you in a room with him.....dont thread on waters you cant cross.
Fury wouldn’t dominate the 90s not a chance
Is he even dominating the current era?😂

But he dont have famous knock out punch power sorry
@@Kralali01 so what?
I agree, ...But that aside, he got beat by Lewis here.
Just shows the corruption in boxing is the 'Real deal'..:)
@Jason Strom Holyfield is my favourite heavyweight of all time, but lets by honest, he lost both fights, although the second was a bit closer. The reason being, Lewis was the busier fighter and out worked/out landed Holyfield in both fights, although Holyfield had his moments here and there, it's clear Lewis one both contests tbh.
Holyfield was so pumped full of steroids, he could hardly walk. lol at pics of Holyfield before he became huge.
Both of these guys were amazing with their hands, wow
90s Holyfield was incredibly entertaining to watch
He never backed down from a slugfest and always traded shots with his opponent
Balls of steel

Evander is the quintessential special forces soldier. It doesn't how much bigger you are compared to him. You're never enough to stop him.
É mais dessa bocada ele não venceu não kkkk
"*Lennox Lewis a true Warrior and champion.Evander Holyfield one of the greatest and never dodged also a true champion.

@Elminster Highhell he fought washed up champs like tommy morrison and mike tyson he aint shit lmao,and most of his fights look fixed,he dodged mike tyson when he was in his prime and only fought him when mike was destroying himself,also he fought tommy when he had aids

@@mihai9211 If I remember rightly, Lennox got paid step aside money because Mike didn't want to fight him, same as Riddick Bowe (chicken Bowe), Lewis was the best of his era imo .
@@stoli6632 mike was in jail when lewis become a professional,also mike fought lewis but when mike was washed up and that shit,you dont remember right.
To be so big Lewis had some of the best jabs along with Ali
And Larry Holmes
7:44 "and that's why I named all my boys George so I wouldn't have to remember"
Classic George!
Holyfield a real warrior. His nickname is perfectly fitting to his character. Lennox was so gifted boxer, Emmanuel Stewart launched his abilities to the top.
Holyfield's chin is made of diamonds.
You mean his head . That head-butting cheat
Iron Chin
Lewis was the real deal absolutely strong and with a great technique and dominance
I cannot think of two other heavyweights fighting each other with equally technical proficiency.
Holyfield proficiently used his head to block Lennox barrage of punches.
@@Dante-vf4sd he used his head as his greatest shields in many a fights. That chrome dome defense 😂😂
I never liked Lennox but he was two lucky punches from subpar heavyweights from being undefeated and the hands down GOAT . Probably still is and at least grossly underrated. Complete package of a boxer.
Jeez holifield was surely a beast in the ring..non stop puncher..much respect to him.we need more like that 👏
Two great fighters
Much respect🙏🏽
They both are on my top 10 boxers of all time
Agreed. They are both top 10 heavyweights of all-time. I think the only other 90's boxers that crack the top 10 all time heavyweights are Foreman and Tyson. Bowe could have been top 10 all-time if he had more discipline.
Absolutely...I was never a fan of Lewis but, looking back, he was a GREAT FIGHTER.
This one of the most epic skilled evenly matched fights I ever seen
348 landed vs 130??? How is that’s even?
@@kozmeetorez Do you consider those 140 baby jabs the same hit as you would a hook or straight?
@@mentlinc yeah, it all adds up. It’s like saying easy layups have less impacts then draining 3’s.
@@kozmeetorez nah bruh. 300 jabs equals 100-150 hooks 🤣
@@kozmeetorez it’s not amateur boxing where each hit is 1 point - it’s the pros where power punches get scored higher

When heavyweight was heavy
U must be crazy🤔
sem iileka yup every heavy weight right now is tall and skinny and still Weitght's about 97 kilos while here tyson and foreman and ali,holyfield lennox all of them where big tall and heavy like it supposed to be
sem iileka fax nowadays they wait 3 minutes to throw a punch
sem iileka are you drunk? Fury, AJ, Wilder ... they are much bigger nowadays you muppet!!
@@sker4370 i think AJ and fury are around 110-120 kg giants, fast af and smart fighters
Honestly tyson fury wilder and all the modern heavyweights are pathetic compared to this era
Rod William yes so pathetic you re right
Peyayiwaljinah
You are right bro
It's cause they are afraid of being punched
Rod William all depends, purely skill, 100%. But athletics wise no, not power wise either. And other weight classes keep getting better
It seems even the greatest world-class boxers sometimes can't respond to lennox's jab and straight punches properly. The unseen jab and straight, it is my goal for now. Thank you for showing us great skills. ♡

STOP BEGGING FOR LIKES.
Lewis fought both Tyson/Holyfield past their peaks, way past too. Even though this era put on stellar fights, more in name/rep, heavyweight boxing had long declined by this point.
Holyfield was always in great shape. He reminds me of Hagler. Just like Hagler, he has a tough chin!

The real Deal absorbs all punches
HGH abusing cheater
80s and 90s boxing is something the world will never experience again
Shout-out to Jim Lampley's incredible career. His energetic calls were great on HBO.
What impressed me the most was how well Holyfield still boxed for an entire 12-round fight after that many years in the ring. He was over 35, yet you'd think he was still in his late 20s. He didn't just punch once and grab (the way washed-up fighters who are just in it for the money so often do), but consistently threw crisp combinations, even into the final rounds. You have to respect that.
Holifield best ever in stamina, tech

Evander had to be Lennox's 2 toughest fights. Even though I thought Lennox won both fights, he just couldn't dominate Evander like he did others. In my belief I thought the second fight was more closer to a draw than the first one.
Vitali klichko
@@iamtheshadows4916 Ray Mercer
Lennox said that Ray Mercer was his toughest fight but Evander was the toughest fighter.
Holyfield never go's down
The first fight has to be one of the biggest robberies in history, the judges had to be bought.
+Eric George, Not bigger than when Riddick Bowe was robbed in the 1988 Olympics.
Shawn M Good lord no...
There're always bought. Didn't ja know?

Glad to have watched these fights live on pay per view with all my buddies.
Back when heavyweights knew how to throw combos, not one punch at a time like they do today.
Watch Andy Ruiz, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua... I can keep goin. Heavyweights still throw combos this is a dumb comment
@@maalik310 true
Boxing now more tecnical, heavyweight now more bigger then 70's or 90's, modern boxing are perfect. timing, accuracy head move,defend,clinch, skill
Holyfield was simply relentless, if I were a fighter,I would have avoided him at all costs.
I believe one reason so many fighters fought Holyfield, was because they always outweighed him by 30+ lbs, and figured they would simply beat/knock out the smaller man. While they were ducking each other, they all took on Holyfield. And Holy gave them all they could handle.
That's why you are not a fighter. You always want to fight the best to see where you stand
@@TheDestructodave520 He doesn't appear to be very small lol he looks to be built better than anyone
@@funtimes8296 yep, but his weight and reach was always lower, only one that he fought that he had reach advantage on heavyweights was tyson i think

I so miss this time in boxing. Watching boxing was so fun then. Now, it's impossible to get these huge fights. And if you do get one, its far few and between.
Hollfield was a like a tank man he took some heavy shots that would of sent most guys down ... definitely had a strong chin...and Lenox Lewis the most over looked champions ever...He had the coolest name ever i thought as a kid lol Lenox is a cool ass name
That was a real fight. A golden age. Can you imagine taking 90 punches to the head from either of them? I'd be brain damaged or dead!

Holyfield is a real fighter...a lion hearted man...respect to him...
he might be good but when he fights stronger boxers he uses his headbutt tactics but lewis was too tall for him
he's a cheater
Headbut champ
Bagi Yup, Its amazing how many can’t see the obvious...
Holyfield and Hagler were like a nightmare for any boxer! They even had the same head and would keep it coming all day
been watching all of Mike Tyson's fights and it is so clear that he is not the greatest fighter, beat many unprofessional boxers, but nothing like Lenox and Evander. Thank you guys for showing us your amazing talent!!!!
Mate you truly wouldn't have a clue, after fighting guyd like Trevor berbick in 1986, he fought about ten guys of this standard. He started off with a lot of bums, but up until 1990 fought the best going around. He dodged no one, but lots didn't want to fight him.
I think that both Holyfield and Lewis had better mindset, that was main difference between them and Tyson. Tyson had skills but lacked there.
My dude... you get better & better with the editing on these highlight videos. I don't recall either one of these fights being as thrilling as they are portrayed here.

In my view, the 2nd fight was closer than the first. I might have ruled the 2nd fight a draw, no clear winner in my view. It seems boxing was trying to correct a mistake made in the decision of the 1st fight by giving the win to Lewis in the 2nd fight.
C'est incroyable ce combat, il est l'un des meilleurs spectacle que j'ai vu à ce jour.
The skill level of these heavyweights in comparison to those of today is staggering

Lewis was the only boxer to beat every fighter in his era. Would have been great ro see the Bowe fight also, if Bowe hadn't bottled it. Lewis has a better boxing record than Tyson, Bowe, and Holyfield put together. ✌🏾
@@visothtarakouk1802 Talking nonsense. Lewis never beaten by the same man twice, Tyson & Holyfield BOTH were. Look at the records. Lewis is amongst the TOP 5 GREATEST HW's EVER: Ali, Louis, Foreman, Holmes & Lewis. At his peak, Lewis-Tyson would have been interesting but probably similar outcome to Ali-Frazier II & III. I wished Lewis fought Holyfield much earlier and he would have comfortably beaten Holyfield. Lewis became more risk averse and cautious in his twilight years. Lewis was the best of his generation, the one before it and the one after it too. Generation Rank: Lewis-Bowe-Tyson-Holyfield
Lewis never ducked. Fought every heavyweight of his generation and was more deserving than Holyfield and Tyson 2.0 as Undisputed HCW. Tyson was never the same destructive machine after D'Mato & Atlas

Holyfield will stand out as the only true warrior of this exciting era of boxing. In all of his fights he goes toe to toe with every opponent, throws combinations in the last round as if its the 1st, and keeps going in for the brawl. A testament to boxing and the most exciting fights ever.

VILLA WITH a lot off off of the same to bed and I am not sure if
Yeah its incredible. If you try to incorporate footwook, defense, and some power punching on a bag it takes a lot of training to be able to go the distance. Then when you feel like a champ, you need to factor in getting hit repeatedly and the occasional grappling in the clinch... lol
