Lewis - controversial draw a winner for Life(Allsport).

LIFE WINS ON POINTS

Sporting Life was just about the only winner from Saturday's big heavyweight unification battle at Madison Square Garden.

Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield fought out a hugely controversial stalemate in the Big Apple.

And the outcome left Holyfield relieved and the Lewis camp fuming.

But spread enthusiasts who followed our Lee Walker's advice will be laughing all the way to the bank.

For Walker advised you to buy the total minutes of the fight at 26.

And when it went the full 12-round duration for a make-up of 36, that led to a 30-point profit.

Walker said: "The best trade on the bout is a buy of total fight minutes.

"This does go against the grain slightly as City Index, who were first up with prices, were inundated with sellers of total fight minutes at 27.

"The spread has since dropped to 25-27, but it is still higher than that of the other firms who have now entered the ring and a buy at 26 with any of the other three looks sound to me.

"Both have good chins, Lewis' temporary aberration at Wembley against Oliver McCall aside, and both are always in good condition.

"Lewis' lack of stamina is a little bit of a urban myth and with Holyfield certain, despite some pre-fight rhetoric, to be patient and wear down his opponent, this fight looks destined for the last quarter, which will reward buyers."

Walker was proved to be spot on by events at the Garden.
