What a great boxing between the two fine boxers! From the sound of it, the fight was even although Lewis, as said, was a more a boxer than a power puncher; the latter was quality better attributed to Fa who, as observed, never allowed Lewis to find a rhythm, which is a fundamental feature that is common to all arts, as in Tongan faiva (performance), tufunga (material) and nimamea'a (fine) arts..

By the way, boxing was an ancient Tongan performance art known as faiva fuhu, which survived into present Tonga by the same name. The name fuhu speaks for itself, in that it is a performance artform that basically involves the rhythmic production of beauty through sustained harmony and beauty by means of bodily movements, notably the hands.

The hands are the artistic device used for the rhythmic production of bodily movements by means of fuhu, that is, fu and hu, "clenched fists that enters," hitting the opponent's body, especially entering through and between the opponent's hands (which are, in turn, clenched). The more the hits, that is, "tau," the more the points, that is, "kai," the more aesthetically-pleasing it is, the more beautiful it is as a fine work of performance art, that is, faiva malie.
