I think there were few Lewis fans because, since this is his 12th defense and his fighting style is on the more uninteresting side, people are getting tired of him.

So, while we're on that topic...Jorj, mr. mark, Franco, et al...what are your thoughts on Vargas-Trinidad?

I think the major reason I am more disappointed with Tua than Lewis, is that Tua seemed to be completely unresponsive to his corner. Even when I had the fight scored even (up to the late-middle rounds), Tua's corner was screaming that he was losing the fight and that he had to go in there and get busy.
In later rounds, he was being told that he had to go for it, that all that was left was his "puncher's chance" of scoring a KO.
Foreman was on the money when he said that Tua needed to get reckless, to just start throwing. So much has been said of Tua's chin, yet he seemed afraid to test it.

And speaking of "test," how many of Lewis' handlers did it take to come up with the new catch-phrase, "If Tyson wants a test, I'll put him to rest." Johnny Cochrane he ain't.

P.S. Jorj, by "tables" do you mean blackjack? Congrats on taking their money. Did you play enough to get comped for the next fight?
