EVANDER HOLYFIELD vs. LENNOX LEWIS (2) Budweiser 

Description : Here we have the Budweiser official fight sponsors PPV/Closed circuit poster for the rematch held at the Thomas & Mack Centre Las Vegas.

The two fighters had met eight months prior in Madison Square Garden. Though Lewis had seemingly done enough to win, the bout was declared a draw, with one judge ruling the fight in favor of Lewis 116113, another scoring the fight in Holyfield's favor with a score of 115-113 and the third declaring the fight even at 115-115. The ruling became one of the most controversial in boxing history, and as such, the three sanctioning bodies quickly ordered a rematch between the two. A week after their controversial first fight, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis officially agreed to the rematch, with the fight's $30 million purse being evenly split between the two fighters. The match was originally scheduled for September, but it was later pushed back to November 13, with Las Vegas' Thomas & Mack Center being announced as the site of the fight.

Like in the previous fight, it was Lewis who was able to gain the early edge winning both rounds 1 and 2. Lewis would win a close round 3 on two of the judges scorecards, but a late rally from Holyfield during the final 30 seconds in which he landed a hard right hand to the side of Lewis' head before landing several more punches just before the round ended helped him win the round on the third judges scorecard. Holyfield would finally breakthrough after round 4, winning rounds 5, 6 and 7. In an entertaining round 7, the two fighters would go toe-to-toe in the middle of ring during the final 20 seconds, landing several punches on each other prior to the bell. Lewis would then seize control of the fight winning rounds 8 through 11. The two men fought a close round 12, but Lewis again took the round on two of the judge's scorecards. Lewis was then named the winner by unanimous decision with scores of 115-113, 116-112 and 117-111, becoming the first Undisputed Heavyweight Champion in six years.
