you must of watched a different fight to me, David Tua never really took the fight to him no argument there. But what did Lennox Lewis do?
Nothing
I certainly didn't see him take the fight to Tua, granted he didn't have to to win, but if he was a champion, if he was such a level above Tua he would've dispatched him as easy as Tua dispatched his opponent last night.

well that was disappointing.
all props to Tua for doing it but once again it was one punch that finished the fight. Shane made the mistake of getting hit with the left hook and it was all down hill from there. although i have to give the guy credit for standing there and taking as much as he did.
As has been said this was not world class boxing and we will find that when/If Tua does get a shot at the title again then it will end like Lewis fight. out boxed by the better boxer.

on the up side Tua did display more punches than he has before unloading with combination's before dealing to him.

Glad i didn't pay for it. fight of the month maybe.

He simply didn't have to and to Tua's credit, Lewis did show Tua 's punching power the respect that it deserved. (he didn't have to take any risks to win)

Lewis simply outmanoeuvred Tua throughout the "fight" and walked away with the money, his mana and titles in tact!

By the same token, he (Lewis) did not show Tyson any such respect at all and knocked him out!

We all see things differently, Lewis made David Tua look like a buffoon. (IMHO)

Lewis said before the fight with Tua:

It will take more than one big punch and a bad hair cut to "defeat" a professional pugilist of my capability!

Lennox Lewis was true to his word, he won every round, comfortably!

Even so, David Tua can be proud of what he achieved, unfortunately he will always be unappreciated by uninformed Kiwis at home!

Oarsome!!

I loved Tuas humble approach to the whole fight. Cameron on the other hand was too mouthy and cocky for my liking. When will these white boys realise there's no good hitting a coconut in the head...it just makes them angry.

Shane was outclassed.. fair and square.
I was bloody disappointed to see David chuck those two in when Shane was down... piss poor sportsmanship.

Exactly!

Such a visceral sport. I'm always moved by the huge range of emotions I feel when I watch it. Watching most sports I would hardly ever raise an eyebrow let alone feel adrenaline or any emotion. I both hate and love to watch. I don't go out of my way to see it but have caught most of the BIG fights along the way through time since I was a kid - thanks to me dad. Never been to a live match and to be honest I'm not sure I want to...BUT that was awesome and scary and thrilling and sad and excellent to watch...Thanks for the linky to the vid!

I had to man the house and child so hubby could go weatch it at a mates(aren't I good wifey

).

Much better fight than that Lennox Lewis fight - that has to have been the most boring one ever. Two guys dancing around in a ring with the tall pretty one occasionally tapping the short arsed one on the shoulder to keep him at distance.

I love you Tua, was a great night, how fuckin mean was it seeing Tua throw those 14 power shots. But in all respect to shane cameron hang in there.

It would have been nice to at least have got seven or eight rounds after all that hype. All credit to Tua though, even though I lost a couple of bucks.
