00:00That's the danger of fighting the taller guy.

00:03But he's doing an excellent job of out-jabbing him now

00:05and being cautious.

00:06Tyson is desperate.

00:09Total punches in round 2,

00:11according to copybox punch stats,

00:13Lewis, 22 of 40 for 55%,

00:16Tyson, 7 of 35 for 20%.

00:20Going into this fight,

00:22everybody thought that Mike Tyson had the stronger jaw.

00:26He has certainly shown a strong jaw in this fight,

00:29because he has taken some solid shots so far.

00:33He's allowing Lennox Lewis to just move around the ring

00:38and do whatever he wants.

00:40Tyson's got to start throwing his jab

00:44to Lennox Lewis' chest and stop trying to hit his head.

00:49That was a good body shot by Mike Tyson.

00:55He can get that right hand down there low and make it sound.

00:57He's coming on top with it sooner or later.

01:00Ronnie Shields told Tyson to make it an ugly fight.

01:03Is that because he thinks that Lewis has had his way

01:07from a distance?

01:08Yeah, he wanted him to get closer.

01:09Don't make it look so pretty

01:10standing out there barbing a weave.

01:11Get close, make it raggedy.

01:14Get up, get up, get up.

01:17When we met with Shields,

01:19he told me, you know,

01:21When we met with Shields,

01:23he told us he showed Tyson a lot of tapes

01:26of himself back in the 80s.

01:28There was a lot of head movement.

01:31He was all in balance,

01:33and he used his jab a lot more.

01:37And you see Lewis is putting his head

01:39and hanging down on the boy's head.

01:41This could cause some problem with the referee,

01:43and I'm telling you.

01:51Excellent jab by Lewis.

01:53And a hold.

01:57This starts working on the back

01:59when a guy keeps leaning on you.

02:00Oh!

02:02Music by Tyson.

02:03Tyson comes up with his empty left foot.

02:06And there's a cut on the right eye of Tyson, it appears.

02:11And they butted head there for a second.

02:18Lewis got hurt.

02:20Lewis got hurt that time also.

02:23Tyson blinking with the blood in his eye.

02:30Lewis calmly looking at his corner

02:32and saying, I've got it under control.

02:39The referee better get in there.

02:40You can't instruct him.

02:41You got to just push your way right through.

02:51Dr. Ira Trockey in Tyson's corner

02:54will go to work on that cut.

02:57Listen to me.

02:59Tyson, get his nose.

03:01Listen to me.

03:03You got to relax yourself.

03:05Give me a towel.

03:06Give me a towel.

03:07Give me a towel.

03:08You're relaxed.

03:09You're relaxed.

03:10Nice and relaxed.

03:11Mike, listen to me.

03:12You let this guy have his way on the outside.

03:15You understand?

03:16Don't let this man have his way on the outside.

03:18You got to be close to this man.

03:19You understand?

03:20You got to stay close to him.

03:21When you get close,

03:22shoot your uppercuts and go to the body with this man.

03:24Okay?

03:25Use your feet.

03:26He can't deal with nothing coming to him.

03:28This fight, you deal with it.

03:29You do.

03:30Sit down and get yourself together.

03:35You can't just be retentive to do this shit.

03:37Shoot that damn uppercut some.

03:39The man is tired.

03:42Here's Lennox Lewis's jabs

03:44as he has his way from outside.

03:46And that first jab there may have caused the cut.

03:49Lewis averaging 25 jabs per round.

03:53When he throws that number, he's very dangerous.

03:56Stop in there.

03:57Let's go.

03:58Stop in there.

03:59Stop in there.

04:00Come on.

04:01Let's go.

04:02Let's bring in Harold Letterman

04:03to see how he has the fight score through three.

04:05Okay, Fred.

04:0629 to 28.

04:07Two rounds to one.

04:08Lennox Lewis.

04:09Fred, I just looked over at Eddie Cotton,

04:11and he signaled to me that the cut was caused

04:13by a punch, not a headbutt.

04:15So if this fight gets stopped because of that cut,

04:17Lennox wins on a TKO.

04:19In the first round,

04:20I thought Mike Tyson did a nice job getting inside,

04:22but in rounds two and three,

04:24just like you saw right there,

04:26Lennox stood on the outside, used that jab,

04:28and came up with some nice, solid right uppercuts.

04:31At this point in the fight,

04:33the bad boy of boxing

04:35is getting spanked by Lennox Lewis.

04:39But he is always dangerous.

04:42Lewis following the Holyfield blueprint,

04:45pushing Tyson back, landing on Tyson.

04:49And right now, firing that right cross at Will.

04:56Tyson gets close.

04:57Lennox Lewis changes or stops everything.

05:00Folds his...

05:02Now there's blood apparently coming from Tyson's nose.

05:07Blood apparently coming from Tyson's nose.

05:24The difference tonight is too much holding for Tyson.

05:27This guy's done too much holding.

05:30Lennox Lewis has been holding too much.

05:32George, he's also been punching the crap out of him.

05:37Tyson doesn't even know where he is about now, better get desperate.

05:44Lennox Lewis told us, that no matter what, Rodney Shields spent 8 weeks teaching Mike

05:52Tyson in Maui during his training camp, that as soon as he got hit, he was going to be
