Well, since I'm up: Round 1: Tua comes out screaming, but not doing any damage. After about 10 seconds, Lewis begins his lazy jabbing that keeps Tua at bay for the rest of the round. 10/9 for Lewis. Round 2: Lewis stops jabbing; hits Tua with a low blow. Tua connects with a good left. 10/9 for Tua. Round 3: Tua chases Lewis around the ring the entire round, and is clearly in control. Lewis forgets to jab, and spends the entire round walking backwards. 10/9 for Tua. Round 4: Rerun of round 3. 10/9 for Tua. Round 5: Lewis finally remembers he has a right hand. 10/9 for Lewis. Round 6: Close round. Lewis' jabs connect, but with no power. Tua connects with a couple left hooks. Lederman gave it to Lewis, but I scored it 10/9 for Tua. Round 7: Boring. Tua only lands one punch the entire round. 10/9 for Lewis. Round 8: Lewis starts putting a little mustard on his jabs. That's about it, though. 10/9 for Lewis. Round 9: Lewis hits Tua with a hard left hook. AGain, that's about it. 10/9 for Lewis. Round 10: Lewis is in total control for the entire round, which ain't exactly exciting to watch. 10/9 for Lewis. Round 11: Tua has given up. Lewis knows he has won and is on auto-pilot. 10/9 for Lewis. Round 12: Lewis gives a clinic; Tua suddenly remembers with 5 seconds left that he has to do something, but fails miserably. 10/9 for Lewis. Quahog scores it 116/112 for Lewis. Lederman scores it 117/111 for Lewis. Judges score it: 117/111, 119/109, 118/110 all for Lewis. All in all, I should have stayed asleep. Quahog

"Second place goes to mr. mark, who had to prudence to avoid this fight at...well, no cost" you'll be pleased to know that i had the absolute brilliance to once-again avoid this lewis-tua debacle on hbo or sho. i was flipping and grinning last evening and landed upon what looked like a replay of the fight. i say 'looked like' because i didn't stay on the channel long enough to determine if it was a promo for the future telecast, or the actual telecast. i didn't care, i was out of there. amusingly, i commented to my wife as i clicked through that this was the rematch (meaning, of course, the replay) and she knew enough about their previous encounter to fire back, "well i guess there was so little fighting in the first match that they can both afford to fight again so soon". not bad. :) mark
