Lewis v Tyson IS ON : Who will win?

Bard

Simple poll... who will win in the Heavyweight title bout coming up this Saturday?

Myself, I'm curious about it, - not massively interested, to be honest... but I'd say Lewis will retain the title.

Carl Weather's, it is clearly Carl Weathers.

I'd hope Tyson. Even though he's immensely dislikeable, from a boxing point of view I'd love to see it. I don't like Lewis. He's so cautious, and while capable of blowing away people on certain occasions, e.g Golota, Bruno, he's always left me pining for a heavyweight who liked to get involved. Look at the fights between Bowe and Holfyfield, or the first Tyson- Holyfield clash. THAT'S what heavyweight boxing should be. Lewis is hard to get excited about, don't get me wrong, he's obviously a class act, but I hope it's a real war out there, and doesn't feature Lewis in his usual style of play. Then again, who's to say Tyson won't go nuts and get disqualified. Let us hope that the fight actually lasts over 4 rounds, not for fear of a stoppage, but becasue if things don't go his way he'll probably finish his career with a bang.

And I doubt you need to ask what I voted for in the poll

Niall you're a big dirty thieving thread stealer...
I had the *exact* same thread written offline and then I see this... BOOO :D

I am absolutely wetting myself waiting for this match. I was just watching one of the Buildup shows there on Sky Sports. Personally I am a big Lennox Lewis fan and I think the master pugelsit will reign. As for the poll, I would have had the "fight ends in acromony" option, becuase I think if Tyson is losing he will get himself disqualified. maybe not another earbiting incident but maybe headbuts, low blows etc.

BTW, I know FIVE live will be covering it but does anyone know if any websites are doing a webcast or round by round update. I've had a look at a few of the Boxing sites but know seem to have confirmed anything yet.

My prediction...
Lewis within 5 rounds

I hope Lewis wins but I get the feeling that the fight will be neck and neck and for some reason it will be stopped late in the day and they'll have to have a rematch.
Tightson will probably try and bite Lewis' finger or something similar I say.

Can BBC Radio Five Live be picked up off the airwaves in Dublin?

and sorry- yeah... I should have had a "fight ends in acrimony" option I guess...

GWAN the Carl Weathers!

Yep its availble on 693 and 909 am.
Great for news and sports chat during the day

I dont know whether Talk Sport (1089 am) will be covering it. They covered the recent fight between Prince Naseem and Manuel Calvo, so who knows?

I hope Tyson knocks him out after biting Lewis in the nuts.

Just placed my order in for the fight, the women says it starts at 10pm on saturday but then i checked the tv guide on digital which says 10pm - 6am. So will there be a few minor warm up matches before the big fight, or does the fight actually start at 10pm and then Sky will repeat it over and over until 6am.

The undercard is packed- Wont prolly start until about 3 or 4am

Dont be at yourself

Tyson will destroy him.*

Didn't Carl Weathers play Apollo Creed AKA the first astronaut to walk on the moon? Thanks Homer!

Whilst Tyson is likely to have his teeth around another mans ear Lennox Lewis is more likely to have his tongue IN another mans ear!
