Upon watching the Lewis vs. Grant replay.
I'm going to adjust a comment I made previously in saying that Grant has/had a "glass jaw." After seeing the reply on TV tonight - amazing what you miss even from the floor of a match like that - while Michael Grant was (by far) outclassed, two things immediately came to mind:
1. Rabbit punches, and lots of them. Didn't anyone tell Lewis that the facial hemisphere (front) of the mellon is the regulation target area for head shots?
2. The uppercut leading to the final KO/count out: holding, holding, holding. IMHO, that'd been minus one point, if I'd been the ref and had seen it (and, of course, if Grant had been able to get back up).
A solid win for Lewis, who shows the crucial ability to change styles as necessary. Four different Lewis', when compared vs. Briggs, Golota, Holyfield, and Grant. One thing for sure: I'm more excited than ever to see a Lewis-Tyson bout now.
