Mavrovic had one of the best chins I’ve ever seen at heavyweight. The shots he took and never stumbled were really good shots and lots of them. I’m surprised we never saw much more of him in the 90’s. He was good 👍🇬🇧
Why we didn't see Mavrovic again was because nobody wanted a piece of him. He took everything Lewis threw and was never rocked, and threw solid shots back at him. He could have dropped some top 10 world heavyweights. Why in the hell would you take that risk unless there was a big purse put up? Zeljko was not a stiff, but a durable fighter.
@@Whitegorillaboy he was hard as hell. He would be a nightmare for anyone. He gave Lewis a tough fight. He should’ve been a big name of the 90’s heavyweight scene.
Nije imao šansu, realno da dobije mec ali je pokazao da ima srce ko planinu. A onaj ko zna boks zna da je lewis nokautirao tysona, klicka, golotu, rahmana. 2 put dobio hollyfielda. Mavrovic stvarno legenda.
Hats off to Mavrovic on his conditioning and chin. He took some bombs and kept walking forward. Not the most technical boxer, but he stood with Lewis for 12 rounds.
I watched this fight that time. As a boxer, Mavrovic was very courageous. He took a real beating from the "great" Lewis but still coming forward. That is a how a passionate boxer is supposed to be, could take any hard shots without giving up.
@aaron pryor Agreed, that is usually the case. But in this case, I think Mavrovic would have been better off doing what Ruiz did, take it on the chin and just keep coming forward, and lay the man out. LL was a great fighter, great technique, but watching this fight, and the 2 fights where he was knocked down and lost, he doesn't have a great chin. That is why I think LL would have lost to a prime Tyson with Rooney still as his trainer [and Cus still being alive], and LL wouldn't have beaten a hard puncher with a good chin like Foreman in his prime.
Zeljko thank you very much for representing your country so proudly and bravely against one of the best HW of all time. You showed more then enough heart in this match even the mighty Lewis couldn’t put you down ❤️🇭🇷💪💪👊
That was a great fight. Mavrovic was tough, fast and came with a plan, attack first. His style of charging in whilst throwing straight lefts and rights, especially in the first three rounds, would have been a challenge for anyone to contend with. All credit to Lennox, he did what he had to and turned the fight around for a comprehensive win on points. Mavrovic had a 27-0 undefeated record up to this contest and was the no 1 contender. He'd ko'd a lot of opponents during early rounds, so LL was wise to be cautious. Notably Mavrovic retired after this fight, As a footnote, the US commentary team was without exception, lamentable.
В ноябре 1999 года Льюис и Холифилд встретились повторно. По иронии судьбы, на этот раз Холифилд смотрелся лучше, чем в 1-м бою, однако для победы этого не хватило. По мнению некоторых экспертов Холифилд был лучше, но судьи присудили победу Ленноксу Льюису единогласным решением. Леннокс Льюис стал новым абсолютным чемпионом
@@danjithetruth1735 Lennox Lewis has lost only 2 professional fights in his life. He avenged them both. Not understanding what you're saying, I'm guessing English is not your first language.
Mavrović said that the blow to the liver shook him. The punches he received in the chin, uppercuts, straights and crosses did not hurt him even though he felt them, but that punch in the liver shook him and he needed several rounds to recover.
2:55 while announcing Lennox Lewis: "...outstanding professional record... 23 professional victories, 27 by knock-out..." Wow, very interesting stats, he's got 27 knock-outs out of 23 victories. So, around 117% of knock-outs. Didn't know that's possible. Was statistics that different in 1998??
Lennox Lewis in my book and this is an American talkin! is at the very least... the number four or five greatest heavyweight boxer in the history of boxing. His height is weight and his incredible right hand punch, cannot be denied amongst the greatests!
For me he's the best of all time. There were boxers better than him in some areas, Holmes had a better jab, Tyson was more ferocious and powerful , Ali was more technically gifted and slick, others were faster... But few had all boxing qualities combined at such a high level.
IMO he's the best ever. Not every boxing match is suppose to be a drag out brawl. Lennox may brawl but if he can school you technically he'd prefer to beat you that way. He's virtually undefeated.
It's always a trip to see a big, black buck with braids and whatnot like Lennox and then hear his English accent... He is SOOOOO good as a commentator for fights now... One of the best and one of the most likeable...
@troy8613 he has spent much more of his life in the UK than in Canada... He was born in England, lived there for his teen years and early 20's, then went back to England...
@ He moved to Canada at 12 so when he came back to England he had a full on Canadian accent. To me he sounds more Canadian and I laughed when someone said “Lennox Lewis’ Canadian accent has an eternal war with his English accent”. To me he still sounds more Canadian but I could see how a non English person would hear more of an English accent.
Yep - somebody on twitter hit him up after he did one of those "On this day in 1998, I defeated Mavrovic to retain the lineal HW championship..blah blah" type tweets (no bragging, just history and legacy) and somebody responded to Lennox like "Tough night, tough dude...Huh Champ?" and Lewis responded "Umm..You think? lol" So Lennox obviously had a ton of respect for the effort, skill and heart of Mavrovic... as do I and many others.
no one would be able to take tat kind of punches from Lewis..really we have to appreciate the challenger. Lennox the big Lion and mavrovic a bit small lion. both are Great. no one ever fought against Lennox like tis. Lennox Lewis the undefeated lion.

Good fight and yes the Croatian is tough and a very good boxer! Listening to the commentary..is it just me but the quality of technical observation is higher then that it seems to be now
@@eliking3333 Glad someone else agrees! - how would the heavyweights today have dealt with the calibre of for examples, Marvrovic, David Tua, Ikeabutchi, Chris Byrd, Ray Mercer....never mind Lennox Lewis!...all of them formidable opponents
Guess Aaron you wouldt tell him that in his face would you... He was in a fight for the Titel in heavyweight. To come there is a loooong way of sweating blood. and now look at your comment. Did your mama not explain to you how that works?
Несмотря на то,что Маврович,явно уступал Льюису в физической подготовке,и классе,он не сломался,и сражался до самого конца,и делал опасные моменты, особенно в 7 раунде. Он всё сделал ,чтобы победить,и не занимался тем,чтобы выжить в ринге.
I remember watching this fight and Lewis was in his prime here. Never heard of the other guy but Lewis said he trained very hard and wasn't underestimating anybody. I thought 3 or 4 rounds max before Zeljko gets ko'ed. Man I was shocked how tough he really was.
Kudos to Mavrovoc for going the distance, he is a hard case for sure. This was his last fight, he then developed a mysteryillness and lost a lot of weight, He also went into the agriculture business producing his own Eco Friendly food products but unfortunately I don't think it worked out.There was supposed to be a comeback in 2013 at the age of 43 but it was called off when he suffered broken ribs in sparring (not a good sign.) Not sure what else he's doing now but I think he might be a boxing reporter / commentator / pundit in his home country.
Mavrovic is naturally weights up to 85 kg max. He used to much additives or some shit to keep this weight around 100 kg for heavyweight. Those additives fuck up his health, especially his liver! If you see his looking now, that is his natural look.
Zelcho was very good for sure.. He was much avoided at the time.. Mccall, Hide, Akwinwande, the young Klitchos - no one wanted to fight him... Tyrel Biggs sparred with Zelcho for the Lewis fight.. Tyrel said Zelcho was much better than he thought.. Lewis knocked everything out of him in this fight..You could see Zelcho hated body shots..
Man, boxing commentators are hilarious! I think their wit is matched only by Baseball commentators (A sport that I also love) Jim Lampley's one of, if not the, best: "I think he trained only a minute for the Briggs fight"; "If Zeljko upsets Lewis, will you start cooking tofu are your grill George?" LOL. Having said that, I think they seriously underestimated Mavrovic here. The way he stood there and took Lewis' best, while biding his time to deliver power shots of his own, spoke of a man who knew how the gas in his tank functioned: short fuses with high effectiveness--BOOM, BOOM, BOOM ⛽ Not that I think Lewis got outclassed here, he outboxed him for sure (I have it 9-2-1), but like my Dad always told me when I was a small child watching combat sports with him, "The Great thing about watching Heavyweights [fight] is all it takes is One Punch to end it." I believe Mavrovic had the cardio to best Lewis at the end, but he got put at Psychological disadvantaged early on by Lewis' punishing volleys! Great fight all around!
George got it right-Lennox had a great jab (& a devastating straight right) but Lennox tended to get lazy, the times he lost we’re times were he didn’t employ them straight punches enough and looked past his opponents. He went hook-to-the-nogging crazy in both of them McCall fights.
Lennox had Alot of holes in his style. I kind of liked him better as a fighter before steward. Yeah Steward had success but he went too far into safety first. It also put more bad habit's Easter to see. He was fortunate to not fight many that could exploit them.
Lewis was one of the best heavyweights, maybe the best of his time. But it would've been very interesting if he could have fought a prime Ali, or a prime Foreman, or even Mike Tyson of the late 1980's. Vitali K. was ahead of him on the scorecards.
Lewis knocked out Mike Tyson, but couldn't properly defeat a guy twice thinner than Tyson. Don't get me wrong, this is not aimed against Lennox, who is a top boxer by anyone's opinion. I'm just saying that nobody expected this much resistance from Mavrovic (just look at him) against one of the best boxers of all times. And Lewis is definitely that.
@@cinegraphics Maybe Mavrovic had a way better chin than Tyson and was never stopped in his career ? And being heavier does not automatically make your chin better.
Lenox was never the most exciting champion. But we all know he NEVER ducked anyone and fought all and any of the best there were to fight. Unlike some other noted heavy weights of this era.
@@robloxvids2233 It's possible. Nut not likely. He knew Vitale wasen't going to be an easy fight yet fought him anyway. And did so in probably in the worst shape in his life. At his age he probably just wanted to go out on top rather than train for 4 months for a rematch. He didn't Mcall after being Ko'd by him, and didn't duck Rachman after being ko'd by him either. So it wouldn't stand to reason he would duck Vitale who didn't even knock him down, and was a much closer fight.
@@mrtrek64 I guess it's time to retire while still was a champion. He was 38, enough fights to end a career as an undisputed champ. The only one missing fight is against Riddick Bowe.

razbio ga je Lewis ukupno gledano, pogotovo prema kraju kad je Željko morao juriti da ga uzdrma i ruši pa je morao malo srljati i tu je popio dosta teških udaraca. ali isto tako, Željko ga je imao u 7. rundi i malo je nedostajalo da dovrši borbu tada

This guy was awful. He has terrible technique. Leaning in on all his punches. It's embarrassing that Lewis took so long Vs this guy.
@@jasonahdjfhsdfg You hate on anybody that is not named Tyson Fury.
yea but he got lot of credits for running around and hugging opponents

Man these are one of them classics. True fighters and golden era of boxing. I miss HBO! 👊🏼
true
Good fight and yes the Croatian is tough and a very good boxer! Listening to the commentary..is it just me but the quality of technical observation is higher then that it seems to be now
It's not just you. These fighters we have right now are a shadow of their predecessors.
@@eliking3333 Glad someone else agrees! - how would the heavyweights today have dealt with the calibre of for examples, Marvrovic, David Tua, Ikeabutchi, Chris Byrd, Ray Mercer....never mind Lennox Lewis!...all of them formidable opponents
@D yup...but l don't think it has anything to do with the skin color...It's all in the heart my friend 😉

Mavrovic is a tough dude.

Statutory Grape. Looks like a Steven Seagal relative lol
yes, loser and what else can a vegan be when he fights against a meat eater?
Guess Aaron you wouldt tell him that in his face would you... He was in a fight for the Titel in heavyweight. To come there is a loooong way of sweating blood. and now look at your comment. Did your mama not explain to you how that works?
Inferior? Who are you Lennox ? haha.is all good Aaron
Excelente pelea muy buenos Boxiadores
Молодец Мавровик. Красава против Люйса продержался до конца и без нокаута. Редкий случай.
Договорняк. Льюис тупо не добил
Old boxing was beautiful
Mav is a warrior. If more combos by him would have been better .
Несмотря на то,что Маврович,явно уступал Льюису в физической подготовке,и классе,он не сломался,и сражался до самого конца,и делал опасные моменты, особенно в 7 раунде. Он всё сделал ,чтобы победить,и не занимался тем,чтобы выжить в ринге.
I searched for this video to see Mavrović but I was satisfied within one minute seeing Frank cappuccino
just a couple of years before this fight Croatia where Zeljko is from was at war. He put it all out in this one. great work!!
I remember watching this fight and Lewis was in his prime here. Never heard of the other guy but Lewis said he trained very hard and wasn't underestimating anybody. I thought 3 or 4 rounds max before Zeljko gets ko'ed. Man I was shocked how tough he really was.
Lennox Lewis was a crumb cake short of being a bum.
Lennox said he didn’t train for 12 rounds and that’s why he was huffing so much at the end

Some guys are just built different. The guy just wouldn't go down.
A good fight
Lennox Lewis had the best pre-fight stare of any fighter I’ve ever seen. He looks like a man that’s ready for anything.
با تشکر خسته نباشید عالی بود
Kudos to Mavrovoc for going the distance, he is a hard case for sure. This was his last fight, he then developed a mysteryillness and lost a lot of weight, He also went into the agriculture business producing his own Eco Friendly food products but unfortunately I don't think it worked out.There was supposed to be a comeback in 2013 at the age of 43 but it was called off when he suffered broken ribs in sparring (not a good sign.) Not sure what else he's doing now but I think he might be a boxing reporter / commentator / pundit in his home country.
Mavrovic is naturally weights up to 85 kg max. He used to much additives or some shit to keep this weight around 100 kg for heavyweight. Those additives fuck up his health, especially his liver! If you see his looking now, that is his natural look.
Fuck me maybe he could have been a good cruiserweight!!
Lewis mentioned this fight on Joe Rogan and said how Mavrović was one of his toughest opponents. He said Mavrović just would not fall.
Zelcho was very good for sure.. He was much avoided at the time.. Mccall, Hide, Akwinwande, the young Klitchos - no one wanted to fight him...
Tyrel Biggs sparred with Zelcho for the Lewis fight.. Tyrel said Zelcho was much better than he thought..
Lewis knocked everything out of him in this fight..You could see Zelcho hated body shots..

I didn't expect zeljko to fight with Lewis, but he fought bravely and skilfully, he is a great player
Both fighters are good but Lennox is better.
Negative, Lennox was the best fighter in that periode, one of the best in history I can say..
Man, boxing commentators are hilarious! I think their wit is matched only by Baseball commentators (A sport that I also love) Jim Lampley's one of, if not the, best: "I think he trained only a minute for the Briggs fight"; "If Zeljko upsets Lewis, will you start cooking tofu are your grill George?" LOL. Having said that, I think they seriously underestimated Mavrovic here. The way he stood there and took Lewis' best, while biding his time to deliver power shots of his own, spoke of a man who knew how the gas in his tank functioned: short fuses with high effectiveness--BOOM, BOOM, BOOM ⛽ Not that I think Lewis got outclassed here, he outboxed him for sure (I have it 9-2-1), but like my Dad always told me when I was a small child watching combat sports with him, "The Great thing about watching Heavyweights [fight] is all it takes is One Punch to end it." I believe Mavrovic had the cardio to best Lewis at the end, but he got put at Psychological disadvantaged early on by Lewis' punishing volleys! Great fight all around!
Mavrovic was a great boxer, it's a shame he decided to end his career after this fight. Would love to see Mavrovic vs Klitschko's.
He fought very well in the pocket for an under sized HW.
Mavrovic has faced Lewis with great boxing technique. Lewis has on some occasions proved to be very uncomfortable in attacking.

George got it right-Lennox had a great jab (& a devastating straight right) but Lennox tended to get lazy, the times he lost we’re times were he didn’t employ them straight punches enough and looked past his opponents. He went hook-to-the-nogging crazy in both of them McCall fights.

Lennox had Alot of holes in his style. I kind of liked him better as a fighter before steward.
Yeah Steward had success but he went too far into safety first. It also put more bad habit's Easter to see. He was fortunate to not fight many that could exploit them.
Dame auto correct...

They gave round 7 to Lewis? I mean, seriously?
I agree. Lewis did not win that round. He may have ultimately won the fight but he sure as hell didn’t do it in round 7!

@@davidbrandel1311 Two of the three judges gave Mavrovic round 7.
Mavrovic absorbed a beating. I give him credit for enduring it..Some other would have crumbled under the pressure...
exactly my friend. And his weight was no comparison for Lenox weight. but yes, hats of to both
Lewis was one of the best heavyweights, maybe the best of his time. But it would've been very interesting if he could have fought a prime Ali, or a prime Foreman, or even Mike Tyson of the late 1980's. Vitali K. was ahead of him on the scorecards.

Lenox was one of the best of all time, great champion and with his stealy stare. Hard to beat.
Lewis knows every trick in the book and is a master of the game-
Lewis knocked out Mike Tyson, but couldn't properly defeat a guy twice thinner than Tyson. Don't get me wrong, this is not aimed against Lennox, who is a top boxer by anyone's opinion. I'm just saying that nobody expected this much resistance from Mavrovic (just look at him) against one of the best boxers of all times. And Lewis is definitely that.
@@cinegraphics Maybe Mavrovic had a way better chin than Tyson and was never stopped in his career ? And being heavier does not automatically make your chin better.

Boxing oficial pls request only. Give us more more boxing fight. 15.rounders thank. You. God bless you..

Lenox was never the most exciting champion. But we all know he NEVER ducked anyone and fought all and any of the best there were to fight. Unlike some other noted heavy weights of this era.
He ducked Vitali II.
@@robloxvids2233 It's possible. Nut not likely. He knew Vitale wasen't going to be an easy fight yet fought him anyway. And did so in probably in the worst shape in his life. At his age he probably just wanted to go out on top rather than train for 4 months for a rematch. He didn't Mcall after being Ko'd by him, and didn't duck Rachman after being ko'd by him either. So it wouldn't stand to reason he would duck Vitale who didn't even knock him down, and was a much closer fight.
@@mrtrek64 I guess it's time to retire while still was a champion. He was 38, enough fights to end a career as an undisputed champ. The only one missing fight is against Riddick Bowe.

I've never seen any fighter take shots from LENNOX lewis like that and remain standing this guy was tough and very awkward impressive hats off to him to go the distance with the great LENNOX LEWIS 👊👊👊👊
Lennox said this was one of his toughest fights
A lot of bravery from both boxers, not all of them received 12 assaults on that champion
Realno Nerešeno.
razbio ga je Lewis ukupno gledano, pogotovo prema kraju kad je Željko morao juriti da ga uzdrma i ruši pa je morao malo srljati i tu je popio dosta teških udaraca. ali isto tako, Željko ga je imao u 7. rundi i malo je nedostajalo da dovrši borbu tada
@@Zeda1002ma ima ga je kurac,nije Lennox ni osjetio udarce jos pri kraju runde ga kontrira bio vise Zeljko uzdrman
Bio Zeljko dobar i srcan ali Lennox je zvir
Lennex is lennex no body take my bosse place realy because he is very clever & confidence leggend big man for me.🌹🌹😘😘✊✊

Mavrovic walczył chyba z Saletą, w latach 90tych. Z tego co pamietam wygrał.
Dokładnie. Walczył z Saletą 9 grudnia 1995 roku i wygrał z nim w... 1 rundzie, KO 🤣💪🏻 Jak żyjesz daj znać, Twój komentarz sprzed 3 lat jest 😉
