Kevin Kelley Laughs Last With Lennox Lewis: GIF Spotlight

This is from a well-aged (1994) ad for HBO boxing with gregariously loquacious featherweight titlist Kevin Kelley and worldly heavyweight legend Lennox Lewis playing a bit of chess. That Lennox would fall to a featherweight could not be predicted by anyone but Hamed.

You rarely ever get to see anything quite like this, ladies and gentlemen. The Hall of Fame heavyweight champion showing the future WBC heavyweight champion how to jab the Lennox Lewis way. I love it. Great stuff.


Here is the actual video:

I don't know who first recorded this video but this is where I have seen it and thanks to whoever recorded and/or posted it for capturing the moment.

Lennox Lewis' Debut - A Jab Knockout: GIF Spotlight

In June of 1989, Lennox Lewis made his professional debut against Al Malcolm. A very rare jab knockout occurred after he deftly evaded a counter over the KO shot. Lennox looked to have nailed him just right, in the eye. Ouch. Lennox Lewis KO2 Al Malcolm. It was an interesting start to his Hall of Fame career.

The Cringeworthy Commentating Exchange Following Lamon Brewster TKO5 Wladimir Klitschko: Quote Spotlight

From the tenth of April, 2004, quite an exchange from HBO's commentating team at the time, let alone in retrospect:

Larry Merchant: A combination of fatigue, and now, we have to say it, a weak chin, for a heavyweight.

Jim Lampley: Very.

Larry Merchant: You know, we've had some heavyweights, a lot of heavyweights, with great chins, a few of them with good chins, but you can't fight in this weight class, unless you have at least a good chin.

Jim Lampley: Wladimir's chin makes Lennox Lewis' look like granite. I didn't think I'd ever see that.

Roy Jones Junior: It's not so much of his chin as it is his heart though. He's like a dog that can't fight from the bottom.

Jim Lampley: This is a guy who won an Olympic Super Heavyweight Gold Medal. Who was as good as any amateur boxer in the world. Who rose rapidly in the pros. Did he succeed too much too soon to have heart?

Roy Jones Junior: Nope, he did not. He just never had it. It's just that he was so big you never got a chance to see him fight from the down side.

Jim Lampley: Do you think his older brother Vitali has a markedly different personality?

Roy Jones Junior: He has to now, to uphold the family image, or else he'll be disgraced.
