What could have been a thrilling heavyweight fight where the winner could call for the title shot, the fight turned out to be the opposite. Both Lewis and Francis spent most of the time circling around and feinting without doing much in any of the three rounds. They both even received a warning for not being active. It was Lewis with a bit more activity with his jumping kicks and attempts to clinch. The fight recorded one of the leased strikes from both the fighters. Surprisingly Francis was not the same with his fight approach. Being so cautious and timid will definitely damage his name in the division.
