Stung but not stunned, Lewis retaliated with a hard right. In the rounds that followed, McAvoy continued to charge his bigger, heavier adversary. Lewis settled down to the strategy of a skillful animal trainer subduing the ferocity of an angry lion cub by poking it in the face with the legs of a chair.
