  • Lennox Lewis menang knock-out (KO) pada ronde ke-8 dari 12 ronde yang direncanakan.

SKOR.id - Mike Tyson tak seperkasa dulu. Itulah editorial Harian Kompas, 18 tahun lalu, usai laga Mike Tyson vs Lennox Lewis. 

Bertanding di Pyramid Arena, Memphis, Amerika Serikat (AS), Sabtu, 8 Juni 2002, Tyson dipecundangi Lennox Lewis dalam duel perebutan gelar tinju kelas berat versi WBC dan IBF. 

Mike Tyson, jawara tinju asal AS, yang sebelumnya dibenci dan dielu-elukan banyak orang harus terkapar tidak berdaya di ronde kedelapan dengan muka berdarah-darah.

Bertanding melawan Lewis, petinju asal Inggris, Tyson bertanding tak ubahnya seperti seorang petarung pemula. 

Dari delapan ronde yang berjalan, petinju berjulukan Si Besi itu hanya bisa memenangi perhitungan juri satu ronde, itu pun pada awal duel. 

Mantan suami model Robin Givens tersebut tampil menggebrak pada ronde pertama dengan melancar jab untuk merobek pertahanan Lewis. 

Namun, setelah itu, justru Lennox Lewis yang mampu mendikte Mike Tyson dengan teknik sempurna, hindar, dan pukul. 

Lewis berhasil mencederai kelopak mata Tyson pada ronde ke-3. Luka tersebut membuat Tyson melemah hingga akhirnya Lewis menang knock-out (KO) pada ronde ke-8. 

Bagi Tyson, kekalahan KO itu adalah kali ketiga yang dialami sepanjang karier profesionalnya.

Sebelum kalah dari Lewis, Tyson terlebih dahulu kalah dari James Douglas (1990) di Tokyo dan Evander Hollyfield (1996) di Amerika Serikat. 

Selepas kekalahan tersebut, pelatih Mike Tyson, Ronnie Shields, menyebutkan petinjunya telah memberikan segalanya. 

“Namun, Lewis adalah petinju besar dan bertanding sebagaimana layaknya juara,” kata Ronnie Shields mengungkapkan. 

“Dia sebenarnya telah menyelesaikan Tyson pada ronde ke-3,” tuturnya lagi.

Lennox "The Greatest" Lewis 

Kemenangan atas Mike Tyson saat itu semakin menegaskan bahwa Lennox Lewis layak mendapat julukan The Greatest. 

Bogem petinju kelahiran London, 2 September 1965, itu sudah mampu menggusur seluruh dominasi petinju Amerika Serikat di kandangnya. 

Sebelum Tyson, Lewis menaklukkan Tony Tucker, Oliver McCall, Henry Akinwande, Shannon Briggs, Evander Holyfield, David Tua, dan Hasim Rahman.

"Ini adalah kemenangan yang terpenting dalam hidup saya. Tidak ada pertandingan yang lebih berarti buat saya daripada pertandingan ini," ujar Lewis. 

Lennox Lewis juga membuka opsi untuk pertarungan ulang kembali (rematch) dengan Mike Tyson. 

“Selalu terbuka akan kesempatan itu,” kata petinju yang total meraih 41 kemenangan dari 44 pertarungannya di atas ring. 

Akan tetapi, hingga kedua petinju tersebut pensiun, duel Mike Tyson vs Lennox Lewis II tidak kunjung terjadi.
