Mercer was a bruiser. Great fight regardless of who you think you won.

You got bowe and Tyson openly bottling Lennox?...you got foreman one of the greatest heavyweight power puncher's of all time's saying it's better to avoid a fighter like Lewis?....can you imagine how the world would react if Lewis acted this way or god forbid Anthony Joshua!!!... certain fighters get different treatment in boxing... especially none Americans who are dangerous... like Lennox and AJ 2:28

That Lederman guy was scoring exactly the opposite of what the rest of us were seeing (thankfully including the judges). How he gave Merver rounds 1,3,4 and Lewis the 2nd, is beyond me. It was exactly the opposite. 1,3,4, Lewis (stats prove it too) and Mercer the 2nd. Seems like some guys need to visit the ophthalmologist more frequently.

He gave Lewis the 9th round, a round where Mercer totally outjabbed and outpunched Lewis.

@@RATTENIKKEN And he gave Mercer rounds that he clearly lost. This goes nowhere. It's over. It's history. Let's grab a coffee or something. There's no point in this. I was wrong to even comment here.

What drug was Lederman on that night, I'll never fathom. He gave Mercer rounds 4 and 10 ??

I had it a 95-95 draw. Lewis Mercer 1 9 10 2 10 9 3 10 9 4 10 9 5 9 10 6 9 10 7 10 9 8 10 9 9 9 10 10 9 10 It depends on how you score round 10. I am confident the other scores are correct. This means Mercer did not win. A small win for Lewis or a draw would be fine but Mercer did not do enough to win. Not even close to a robbery. Rewatch this. Look how many shots from Mercer are actually blocked. Lewis far more active.

@@RATTENIKKEN Not even close pal. I re-watched the fight, possibly for the 6th time in my life and Lewis clearly won (even though I rate this as the hardest fight of his career - harder than even his two losses by McCall and Rahman both of which he was clearly winning before getting tagged). The judges saw it like I did and the commentators did as well. So I don't know through what glasses did you watch the fight but you saw it wrong. Lewis had him controlled at a distance and even though Mercer made a great effort with his own jab he seldom put any punches together. He mostly threw 1 punch and stopped (in fear of the instinctive counterpunch reaction by Lewis - always a great counterpuncher something that even the commentators remarked about). Lewis is actually the GOAT as I can't see any HW in history, past, recent or present, to be able to win a hypothetical 10-bout series with him. He was too skillful, strategic, adaptive, strong, persistent and had great KO power (something that Ali, for example, lacked). I rate second Vitaly Klitchko who was equally smart and dominant but not as skillful in putting punches together. Lewis's combos were legendary for a HW. You just don't see those, ever. Mercer is actually an underrated fighter. He's easily a top 20 of all times. P.S. I actually agree about the 9th. It was Mercer's but judges got fooled by the one big right Lewis dished him which obviously made an impression.
