In short, the worst heavyweight fight I've ever seen. Tua was absolutely timid, afraid to punch in the first instance, and when he did, afraid to throw more than one at a time. In the first and last rounds, he didn't throw more than 5 punches, and his face was absolutely purple from Lewis' leisurely pummelling of him with jabs.
This was no warrior. This was an overweight, slow lump of clay who showed no motivation or desire to "take" the belts; instead, he followed Lewis around, aimlessly, forgetting to punch.
Tua threw 413 punches, landing 110.
Lewis threw 527 jabs, landing 213 of them.
Unanimous decision just came in, no surprise: Lennox Lewis.
Lewis just commented: "You need more than a left hook and a haircut."
