Lewis at 39yrs old. That was considered ancient in sport martial arts. Saw Lewis a few months before he passed away. RIP Master Lewis.

Love how Roop's age was omitted from this video at the beginning.

First time we ve seen Joe Lewis cut badly! Roop put up a good fight, good upper cuts. Lewis already proved himself long ago! Good bout!

Roop didn't beat Lewis, age beat Lewis. Age eventually beats us all. Had Lewis been even ten years younger, Roop wouldn't have lasted two rounds with him.

He could have 5 years younger and would have put Roop in the fight of his life...that was no victory...R.I.P. Joe Lewis a Real Legend.

I agree.Joe admitted he didnt train for this bout,& the age factor probably convinced him to scale back& do exhibitions& such.just ask Sugar Ray Leonard,you gotta know when to scale back& risk danger to your well being.

I think had they let the fight continue, Lewis might have pulled through and won with his legendary toughness and harrowing hooks. But you have to give credit to Roop, he fought the fight he needed to and kept up the pressure without sacrificing technique unduly.

Remember seeing this on pka, miss that time. Roop was great fighter. Maybe age caught up with Joe. He still made a good show.

kerry do your elbows hurt now in your old age ? mine do from sparing with brad we used 26 oz gloves and when i would be trying my hardest to hit brad or ricky hanes id often miss my target and the weight of the 16 oz glove would over extend my elbow and now i cant even straighten my arm to full capacity or extension would be a better use of words

What month and year was this fight?

@PeachBran 6 жыл бұрын

rope guy is a lot younger, you can see he is more lighter on his feet. but Joe is older and has been doing this stuff since the probably late 50's or 60's, of course he will not be as the younger guys are, common sense. see mcgregor when he is 40 in the ufc against the younger men will be a laugh. Still even if Joe lost he still my favorite, I just like his tuffness and him.

@user-ch7ky6co3c 3 жыл бұрын

yes he used to perform that but his kick is definitely not doing Bruce Lee kick anymore.

@merltravers4054 2 жыл бұрын

What foot work he has no foot work . I watched the last 3 or 4 fights when hes 39 years old and he just comes forward and stands there and he takes a lot of punishment.

sonny liston was what 46, 47 when he first fought ali. How old was Roop? he doesn't look 21

@monastery4 Жыл бұрын

Sonny Liston was only 34 (born in 1930) when he lost the title to Ali (then Clay) in 1964. Liston died at age 40 in 1970-although Liston’s exact birthdate is unknown. In fact, Liston said he was born in 1932 (no official records exist) which would have made him only 32 when he fought Ali in 1964. However, it is generally agreed that he was likely born July 1930.

I watched this when it first aired. It was sad to see. You could tell the commentators were pulling for Lewis to win. Joe Lewis was and is a legend but like so many great fighters he stayed in the game too long.

@tabstabs1204 3 жыл бұрын

Actually no. He stayed very little. He made a come back at 39, and has no more than 20 full contact fights in total. He was good but over rated anyway.

Their kicks were rather Lame. It appeared they were only trying to "Get in" the required amount. Joe was definitely past his Prime----didn't look too good.

Brain cancer has nothing to do with fighting. Joe was hardly beaten in his career. He didn´t take so much hits against the head.

Joe Lewis et extrêmement puissant des poings mais ses jambes sont très moyenne (il a jamais était bon) il compense par une agressivité extrême et tactiquement c'est très basique il aurait pu faire un excellent boxeur en boxe anglaise mais comme beaucoup de guerrier ils aiment le combat même à faire les combats de trop RIP à lui
