Lennox Lewis vs. Oliver McCall II, billed as "Payback or Playback", was a professional boxing match contested on February 7, 1997, for the vacant WBC Heavyweight Championship.

Deciding Lewis could not continue, referee Jose Guadalupe Garcia stopped the fight and awarded the victory to McCall by way of second round technical knockout.

Bruno was able to build a big lead on the judges scorecards and withstood a late McCall rally to capture the WBC Heavyweight Championship.

As the fourth round began, Lewis landed a right hook to the side of McCall's head and followed with a right–left combination that just missed connecting.

As McCall again turned his back and began to walk away, Lane stepped in between the two fighters and stopped the fight, awarding Lewis the victory by technical knockout.

He claimed that his refusal to engage Lewis was a type of rope-a-dope strategy and explained his crying by saying he had "wanted to get himself into an emotional state".
