It speaks to Lewis’ popularity that he is getting the betting share despite having lost three in a row, all in rather brutal knockout fashion. Rogerio de Lima is certainly there to be had. He runs out of gas very quickly and if the fight goes past a round, his advantages tend to go with it. That being said he hits HARD and the confidence in “The Black Beast” standing up to hard punches isn’t what it used to be. Rogerio de Lima takes this one late in the first round and Lewis retires post-fight.
