His performance against LL is what he'll be remembered for. A quitter. Being 1/2 Nigerian myself, I can never forgive him for his cowardice.
Mickey Duff, Akinwande's manager, put a huge bet on Lewis to win, which sums it all up really.

Theres a point in the Lewis v Akinwande, where Lewis appears to be dropped, but it wasn't called.
I've only seen the fight once so i may of made a mistake, but it did seem he decked Lewis

I have not watched the fight for a couple of years but your right Akinwabde did catch Lewis with a good shot, I seem to recall Lewis touched down with a glove, briefly.
