- After a shocking and unanticipated KO loss in the first clash, Lennox Lewis looked to get revenge in his rematch against Oliver McCall for the vacant WBC Heavyweight Championship on February 7, 1997.
The event, dubbed "Payback or Playback", would end up becoming an unsavoury memory in the minds of boxing fans and would lead to speculation surrounding the mental well-being of Lewis's opponent during the occasion...
Should someone have stopped this boxing match from going ahead?

It’s bizarre to see how little people cared about a man clearly mentally unravelling in front of them at that time.
C'est l'Amérique ! Le pognon le pognon .
They make money on him! It's sick isn't it?!
McCall's chin is fuckin crazy
This was the strangest fight I ever saw. McCall never should have gone into the ring that night, and he was lucky Lewis was so cautious about opening up. Imagine having such a public meltdown.
Credit to lewis. I think he held back and realised something was mentally wrong wiv mcall
You lot should show more credit to British fighters instead of calling them eurobums because no fighter ever from europe ever behaved like McCall in that "fight"
Why Mills Lane was one of the best referees ever. His corner wouldn’t let him stop, so he did it for them
Didn’t he also do the shitshow where he let things get so out of control tyson bit holyfields ear twice. Not a fan
@@jessenelson8106he’s dead now so I don’t think he cares if you are or not
It seems that McCall was literally pulled out from drug rehab by Don King to do a rematch against Lewis, who lost their first fight.
😢 pobrecito 😭 lo que es la mafia lo sucio que tristeza pobre hombre
McCall was just coming out of a rehab too. This fight sad, Lewis’ corner… they should’ve had his back and supported him instead of holding him in there.
McCall should have been a boxing great..
And he heroically failed.Laughably.
I hope he’s okay today
A lot of comments about Oliver being forced into this fight, yes pretty horrendous but he allegedly, freely admitted the drugs to himself , Lennox cannot in any way be blamed he trained for this fight if any blame needs attached it’s to mc calls management team
Mc call montre clairement que ce n'est pas le jour ni le moment.
Mills lane has been in so many big moments in boxing history
I remember this fight. Oliver McCall was definitely going through some stuff cause he was a great fighter. But for some reason...th8s night...he wasn't feeling it. I've never seen a fighter just refuse to fight. 😢 sad
He was getting pounded and couldn't hurt Lewis so he stopped punching and gave up crying.
Legitimate TKO for Lewis here against a boxer who was overmatched entirely.
@@htechdance❤qaa😮 😮ĺ743😂❤😊😮🎉
@@htechdancebruh thats bs, he had mental breakdown based on his own personal life not his opponent, why would he breakdown over Lewis? He fought Lewis the first time and knocked him out
Imagine being told that if you lay a hand on your opponent and win, then you're family is dead.... Why compete, just lay down on your sword... is what we were watching..
Lewis should be ashamed to celebrate this nonsense
Before he spazzed out he already lost 3 rounds l.

Seems like when he got hit behind the head pretty hard while ducking it changed him.
I remember my brother got hit behind the head at work and for about a month he wasn’t the same. He said it was scary because he didn’t feel emotions.
After he recovered he was good and normal again
Interesting. Which round?
@@mitchreese3226seems like it happens at round 3 with 15 seconds left. He ducks and takes a shot to the back of the head. After that he completely changes
Vitali and Fury hit behind the A LOT.
McCall took round 1. Lennox took round 2 in a way in which frustrated McCall because not only was he having trouble landing anything, Lewis was doing a fantastic job of counterpunching McCall when his big swings were leaving large openings in his defense. Round 3 the frustration overwhelmed him. A likely chemical imbalance & his newfound spirituality put him into a mindset where he didn't want to fight anymore. I think the tears came from knowing he needed the money and knowing he was letting down his corner and the fans. The amazing thing is I don't think Lewis ever physically hurt him too badly. Had McCall been better mentally prepared, I think he could've employed a rope a dope type strategy that could've led to potential path to victory in the 9th or 10th round when Lewis might've tired and slowed down. But we'll never know.
i remember reading that he was addicted to crack at that point & rest .. as u say.. was frustration of fighting a superior boxer...
Mcall was the atomic crack smoking power bomber who could have knocked out any heavyweight champion when on point
Please, but the referee would have stopped the fight, the man showed the sign that he not interested in fighting... it was terrible 😢
The weight of the world on your shoulders, your punches not effective and you getting hit with bombs. Let me out of here. You can jog in basketball or give up a big play in football and get subbed out…but in boxing…you have to go all 12 rounds when you know its not your night.
HE JOKES WITH lENNOX lEWIS EHEHEHEH
Aku tidak mengerti apa yg sebenarnya terjadi
McCall was addicted to crack cocaine and had a bad nervous breakdown during the fight.
HE DOESN'T WANT TO FIGHT WHY EXACTLY ?
crack addiction-> mental breakdown
bs nervous breakdown...HE GOT PAID to loose.........thats what he tried to show..........this is not at all uncommon in boxing......liston-ali 2 is the prime example.....ps. if one watches the original footage of ali-liston 1, the co-commentator is joe louis....and he gives away a secret in the lat stages of the fight...liston left shoulder was damaged pre fight !!
That's why staying focused is very important
Боксу немає і мільони заробили.
One of the greatest missed opportunities in Boxing, the other also involved LL, when he failed to rematch Klitschko. One can only imagine how history would have turned out if McCall had his mind on the job.
Don't think that this mental breakdown changed anything, Lennox would still won it.
@@e.a.poecrnimacak354then why Mc Call won by knockout in the second round in the first fight. If McCall had fought he could have won, I didn't understand why he didn't defend himself
You got to feel sorry for McCall in a way; he fluked it in the first fight, and, the second fight showed the gulf in class. Much like when Lennox rematched Rahman in America. Lennox Lewis is one of the greatest fighters to ever lace a glove on; Oliver McCall is one of the greatest sparring partners to ever lace a glove on. He had his fifteen minutes of fame in 1994 - the truth was told here. Thanks for uploading.
Head case Oliver 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nigga walking while getting bust in the head seen it all
Not cool to make fun of a Guy having a breakdown. A Good fighter too. Lennox defo held back when oliver wasnt protecting himself , a Great Ambassador to the Sport. Also Mills Lane (Rip ) Great refereeing as Always.
Who was making fun of him???
Howabout Lennox Lewis getting robbed of the chance to knock him out when he quit like a sissy crying.
All the promoters care about is money.
Oliver McCall was 4 days out of rehab. He was made to take this fight even though he didn’t feel ready. I also think he was told to take a dive… but this is only my opinion, I have no information to prove it. It looks like he refused to take an actual “dive” because he had never been knocked down before, so he just did not fight back and let it be a TKO stoppage. This is how it appears to me. I wish Oliver and Lennox would do an interview to discuss this. But if the speculation is true, it would further send boxing into a tailspin. Lennox was a great boxer. No doubt about it. But Oliver is one of the most underrated boxers in the history of the sport. The man never touched the canvas!!
Que le paso a Maccall en esta pelea alguien sabe
the real McCall would have won this fight..lewis could knock this man out..
They pulled McCall out of rehab for this fight. He didn't even want to be there.
WTF did he do it then? He was actually crying on his way into the ring.Why did he come out of his dressing room? He was plainly not mentally fit but people paid money to see that shambles of a fighter moping and crying in the ring doing next to nothing.Debacle of a fighter.
If Lewis was about to punch my head in I'd cry too...
Cant believe all the excuses in this comment section supporting him.Frank Bruno had mental depression and Ricky Hatton but they NEVER QUIT any fight crying their eyes out of the ring.
This fight started with Mike Tyson relinquishing the WBC belt to avoid the mandatory fight with Lewis (after paying Lewis 4M USD step aside money and beating Bruce Seldon). At that time, Lewis and McCall were no. 1 and 2 contenders respectively, so they had to fight for the vacant champ. It is not what the yanks try to make excuse when their boxer lost to Lewis like being forced to fight etc.
This man should have held a title at some point
He said it was a rope a dope
McCall was fighting Lewis at the beginning, until Lewis punched some sense into him and made McCall realise that he didn't stand a chance at winning.
It is one of the biggest shame in boxing history!!! False decision is a nature of boxing, hitting under the belt is bad thing but it is still a part of the boxing nature, BUT taking someone from rehab and doesn't give a sh*t about his life is just a miserable attitude. Every time I watch this fight, it hurts me.
He should have been disqualified in the first fight, had he a had a drugs test. But this is the USA where you knock them out to get a draw.
Oliver should have never taken this fight and stayed in drug rehab.
Absolutely he shouldnt have.Never any mention of the fans who attended and the tv subscribers who wasted their money watching that virtual non fight from McCall.I hope they withheld his money and paid it back to the fans as compensation
Who dragged that man out of rehab to fight with no time to train? Sounds like some Slick Greasy Don 👑 🤑type of 💩 😢
Clearly having a breakdown in the ring. This is a mental health issue. He was literally crying. Had nothing to do with what was happening in the ring. Crazy.
Here after Teddy Atlas brought this fight up when discussing the upcoming Haney vs Garcia fight and Ryan Garcia's seeming mental breakdown. Nobody seems to be stopping to check if he's okay just like nobody was checking on McCall prior to and during this fight. You'd think things are better nowadays (hopefully the commentary tomorrow isn't as ruthless as it was here) but clearly money trumps all and the show goes on. Quite sad actually.
imagine being dragged out of a drug rehab and forced to fight having not trained or prepared for the fight... disgusting...
True . This is fixed . Mc Gall is not in the full force. He might have been forced to fight here
Is not fixed at all, you guys reasoining like toddlers...he saw lewis was stringer and started pretending
Damn wasn’t Emmanuel Stewart just with McCall the last fight that was a Deion from 49er to Cowboys move
@olamidekoyenikanhenry2640 Don't be ridiculous, the Guy was having a mental breakdown , You can't act that , it was for real
@@kevinmunday6263 he wasn't mentally down whe he was really fighting at the beginning of the fight, wen he saw he was being over powered he became mentally broken. You funny
Poor man, dragged out of rehab after accumulating massive debts and was then told to throw the fight. Lewis connected with some very heavy hits, but Mccall walked right through them. Such a shame, the man was a very talented fighter, but just like his sparring opponent in Tyson, his lifestyle left him open to corruption. I have never seen a man make it so obvious that he threw a fight.
It's the world of pro boxing! Boxers are used like cattle.
Shame on the corner of McCall for pushing him out there in the mental state he was in for whatever reason. And kudos to Lewis for recognizing McCall's struggle and holding back. Thank you too Mills Lane for calling the fight!
McCall already didn't look mentally healthy from just being in the ring. Messing with Don King jacked people up. It's like the manager from Rocky 5 but worst lol
All I can say Mc call his a sick man he need to see a doctor
thank u mr mccall for exposing that no-talent lennox lewis. lol lewis couldnt ever knock out a man who refused to defend himself. lewis was garbage, lol
This about gambling, he look like get intimidated from someone there
He was in rehab and Don King pulled him out for this fight. He didn't want to fight, he wasn't mentally well at the time.
Life…😢
This needs to be a documentary
Or a rockumentary, put to music. Or a clockumentary, set to a watch.
@@TheBatugan77 You are stupid or what'?
@@TheBatugan77 AND EVEN STFUMENTARY!
I wonder what happened to oliver?
Oliver macolls
Mental breakdown caused by drug abuse. Should never have been allowed in the ring to begin with. Don king should have been heavily prosecuted.
I'm psych doc and this was a serious mental disorder. It's sad. It had nothing to do with lack of courage.
But he 6 months later won his next fight by tko. Sooo
That's so sad the man was having a breakdown and you would stoop so low to call this a win ....
It's still a win
He agreed to the $$$$$$!
I remember watching this fight and being shocked at McCall's unwillingness to fight back. I was honestly scared he was going to be permanently injured. It was very disturbing.
Oliver Maclar es clara vidente sabía el resultado de la pelea no tenía que llorar simplemente dejarse caer, como lo hizo la otra rata de Tyson
Dark times for boxing. LL was a terrible champ.
He definitely wasn't mentally prepared for this fight . He may have been under pressure.
Mc call era forte e tinha boa Tecnica talvez precisava melhor seguimento psicologico
McCall is under rated,good chance he beats Lewis if not forced to fight having done no training and just come out of treatment
Why's Olivier hovering around the ring?
One has to feel sorry for MC call .He's begging for help 🙏
Despite all that Lewis still couldn't Knock him out.
i dont think he really wanted to.. he could see he wasnt right..
Never ever think I would see anything like that .
Ad tekanan dari manajemen sepertinya

if you have any humanity, watching a mental breakdown should be disturbing. This is NOT the equivalent to Duran's "No Mas".
Lennox Lewis no lo quiso noquear eso era parte del chou
Being Qualified he was Paid. He did well
He was fighting well initially but suddenly turned Insane... You all can't see he was afraid of conceding defeat
This gonna be Ryan Garcia if he don’t get help
Mohammed ali the great champ in the boxing history 😢
Never be play like a greatest
Mohammed ali anybody
Esa pelea fue una vergüenza para el BOXEO 😂😂😂
Se eu fosse o lewis tinha ficado com vergonha de comemorar essa vitoria o adiversario nem lutou
Absolutely, I agree
Mccall teria vencido fácil
He never complained that the other wasn’t fighting which is odd to me
100 % i agree that! @@saidesimon3144
Почему он не дрался?
Как выяснилось обкурился
Coming from drug rehab and getting ready for a championship fight is not
the right way.

Franchement mc call à gagné lewis 2 ieme round soit-disant ko lewis aurait pu continuer facile et deuxième rencontre mc call refuse le combat il a pas le niveau point
Yh great fight lennox 🙄
People are saying Lewis punches did nothing... Utter shite. Lewis was in the top 90% of heavy hitters of the heavy weights.
George Foreman said he was one of the biggest punchers and the best heavyweight of all time, Ray Mercer said he was the hardest hitter he met. Tyson said he could never have beat him because he's too strong, too big and too skilled. But people are big knowitall😂
He faced and beat every top contender of his era. Look up his fight record and tell me who has a better record than that
@Michael 92 stop it. I didn't beat anyone in their prime . We all know what mccal did to him in 94.
@@kennykross3306 What happened in the rematch? Like I said..Lewis beat everybody he ever faced. Tyson.. holyfield..Douglas.. Bruno.. Morrison.. Klitscho.. Bowe.. Briggs.. Mccal.. Keep naming em. Every top contender of his era he faced and beat
@Michael 92 past their prime boxers. Lennox was never even the best of 90s that some shit some u folks made up. Nobody ranked lennox as best from 90-96. It took him damn 3 years to be ranked top contenders so he was no shape the best from the 90s. He got schooled brutally by ray mercer but was robbed.
Not for nothing the way Lenox hit McCall with clean shots that did absolutely nothing to him. McCall would have definitely been the fighter to have Lewis number. He would have surely put the boom on him again
McCall had a granite chin, one of the best ever, so he couldn't knock him out but I don't think that this mental breakdown had any impact of the result, Lewis would still win. Lewis from this and first fight are two different things, that knock out in first fight was planned by Steward and perfectly executed by McCall.
Most of the big right hands missed LOL

McCall was really able to box Lewis out.And Lewis could not hurt McCall after years of sparring with prime Tyson.
McCall could have knocked out Tyson, just like Lewis
@@Person_-ck2iieh later at this point of his career maybe but early on not sure, i dont think Tyson would ko him but i think it hoes the distance as he was known for his chin
@@DaDominicanDawg McCall is known for his rhinoceros skin, it's hard to break through. This was evident from the Lewis-McCall 2 fight... but I still think that a fight with Mike would be extremely interesting at the peak of the latter

Mental Nervous breakdown during fight.
what a superb fake fight
McCall most definitely was told to lose the fight. And he was supposed to make it look good and real but he really got emotionally upset he had to lose his title that soon. So he broke down and couldn't go through with letting Lewis "beat" him.
You 2 guys are stupid McCall was on drugs and he started to act up, that why when Lewis hit him he started to cry like a baby. Drugs destroyed his career and the man himself, he couldn't beat Lewis even if they gave him a stick he woulda still get his ass whooped.
He has brain damage stop lying
@@jskypercussion
That isn't true, McCall was a drug addict that suffered a mental breakdown during the Lewis rematch that was almost THREE years after their 1st fight in '94. Later, McCall was literally institutionalized for mental illness and deemed unfit to be in society after a slew of drug arrests, rehabs and odd behavior. McCall actually beat Holmes after Lewis and then lost his belt to Bruno.
McCall wasn't "told to lose" he was on drugs, lost his son to murder less than a year prior, and was mentally unfit to fight. He shouldn't have even been there.
He quit cause Lewis was destroying him and it wadnt gonna be a 1st round tko again.. shame to everyone eho had dudes back
Nah, he knew Lennox was embarrassing himself and it made him sad to see. Oliver's heart is just too big for this world
Waktu masuk arena tinju Oliver baik2 saja, bahkan ronde 1-3 dia bisa bertarung dgn baik, tapi Oliver tau dia akan bernasib sama seperti hasim rahman 2 makanya Oliver berpura-pura gila, kalaupun dia tetap bertarung dia akan dipukul KO oleh lenox Lewis, lenox adalah yang terbaik di kelas berat🥊🥊
SOK TAHU 😂😂
This fight shouldn't have happened. Shame on Lennox and McCall's team for even setting this up. McCall is clearly out of shape in this fight compared to their first meeting, he just got out of rehab, AND his mother was unwell (he spoke about this a few years ago)
I'm not sure how Lennox can even be proud of this win.
facts
Not Lennox fault that it happened.
@@e.a.poecrnimacak354 Lennox pushed for it because he was butthurt a journeyman druggy knocked him out.
@Greenfields 12 ...nothing about my "facts" are wrong. Fact: McCall was dragged out of rehab and Lennox team THEMSELVES pushed for this fight. Those are facts.
Don't pull that shit again.

Don't tell people what to do. Unless you want to go get bitch-slapped.
The "BULL" never got KO'd and never even went down! BUT...in the 3rd round he got "CLOCK'D" like never before...got scared...made the "googgy dance"...and quit.
I LOVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH MCCALL THAT NIGHT IST MINT CONDITION>>> I MEAN THAT BRIT BRIC COULD NOT HEART HIM WHILE MCCALL NOT FIGHTING BACK
Oliver was crying because he knew he could hurt Lennox if Lennox didn't slow down. He knew he had a ohko waiting for the young buck. Poor Oliver had too much compassion to end Lennox.
This why🥊🥊is something special❗
