Review: 2001-11-17, in the first fight between Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman the American surprised everyone knocking Lewis out in the fifth round but in this second fight the British boxer took revenge on Rahman winning in the fourth with a spectacular KO that was named Ring Magazine “Knockout of the Year”. Lennox Lewis entered the fight with a record of 38-2-1 while Hasim Rahman had a record of 35-2-0. Lewis vs Rahman 2 was valid for the WBC, IBF, IBO heavyweight titles. Watch the video!

I had seen it before, but it’s a great KO and great fight in the era where the heavyweight division started going downhill. Very rarely was Lennox Lewis in jubilation after a win (or any time for that matter) Rahman was really in Wonderland!
