LMAO Sorry man i didn't know it was you. Nice change of the name. :D I was about to go on a rant because i thought it was a unsuspecting Vitali fan who hadn't joined in the many debates we have had on this subject. lol

I'm not sure to be honest, i think Vitali is the only one but most of Lennox Lewis fights avoided the cards.

For an alleged evil mind is capable of anything.

Extreme caution must be employed until the fight is over. Do the homework on the past-performances and backgrounds on the judges. Check all the water bottles at all times. You know what I'm saying. The enemy is going to be coming out in full force to take what it desperately covets... "

There was a fight that losing was losing on the cards until he stopped the opponent. Frank Bruno in Sept 1993 in Cardiff Wales. Bruno was even on one card and ahead on the two others. Interesting rule for the fight was that after 4 rds if it started raining during the match ( it was outdoor ) they would stop the fight and go to the scorecards. If it had rained between the 5th and 7th rds, Bruno`s would have defeated Lewis on a techinal decission!

i dont know if the tua fight was close or not (i dont remember but i think vk was the only one that clearly took everything lewis threw and gave back also while winning)

let me explain something..Lenox won VK fight (and anyone who said he didnt is in denial) BUT...lenox did not "beat" VK..everyone saw that..there a difference between winning a fight and actually beating your opponent

other examples:
margarito/santos (rematch)
tito/dlh
Kt/mitchell (first fight)
(i thought kt was winning on the cards but some dont)

when ubeat your opponent there is no doubt in fans minds

Kimmy
12-29-2004, 07:53 PM
But you have to live and except the final verdict. We can say De La Hoya beat Tito in their match but lost on points ( i had Oscar winning not by a great deal but enough ) but it just confuses the issue. Its like having the newspaper dec`s like we had in the no decission era, 1920`s. You have to go with the offical verdict. I know judges screw up all the time. How about returning to the majority scoring system that they tired in New Jersey a few years back where each round is averaged out over the three judges card?

holyfield should have been in the 2nd fight.
being ahead through 6 rds is good, but in no way does that mean you are going to win. and fighting with 1 one makes it very hard thats why he was losing the last 2 rounds. I don't think VK could have won another round. because LL was landing at will in the last few rounds. killing the whole left side of his face. people may not like it, but the cut was caused by a legal punch, and alot of clean shot in that area.

LL won, no debate about it. I am trying to measure VK against other LL's opponents in terms of boxing skills.

We will never know what would have happenned in round 7, had the fight continued. Most likely, it would have been an all-or-nothing war between VK and LL. That's all I can say.

This is not true. I checked.


Rahman was loosing on score-cards both times (boxrec.com), see below.

McCall was also loosing the score-card when he WON (boxrec.com); boxrec.com does not provide scoring info on the second fight when McCall refused to fight after fifth round. Clearly, he was not winning on the scorecards that one :D.

tangential is used in math a lot;

ok, found it, it means "relating to, or moving along or in the direction of a tangent, merely touching"

so the punch was moving along the VK's face and moved the skin a lot which caused the cut

It was not an intentional butt that stopped the WK-TOS fight, it realy doesent matter if it was intentional execpt if you mean that LL should have been disqualified for it.

Exactly, I agree. If it was an unintentional headbutt in place of an unintentional punch with a glove edge, VK would have won.

LL would not be disqualified in either case.

Reports out of London, England are that Lewis will be begin light training in the next month or so and it looks like Lewis could be Klits next opponent after Mesi ( if it is Mesi, it should be as Mesi has more or less been cleared to fight and is the mandatory ). I think we will see the rematch sometime between September and November of next year!

If the fight had been stopped in the 6th round both Bruno and Ray Mercer would have beaten Lewis. Many feel Holyfield beat Lewis on pts in their 2nd fight and Mercer in their fight (I had Mercer beating Lewis and the Holyfield rematch a draw). I've never seen his fight with Tucker but I heard it was close at one point . . .

This is a total troll thread.

People always seem to forget that Lewis won the round before it was stopped, he landed some huge punches in that round. Lewis had taken Vitali's best shots and the tide was turning. Vitali was totally inexperienced in the championship rounds and in fact quit as is known against Byrd. Almost a new experience for him. Lewis had been to hell and back before and came out on top, like against Mercer. Mercer did NOT beat Lewis, a close fight yes but the rounds where not difficult to score.

Also, whats this about the "cut". Don't you mean "cuts"? His face was a total mess. Hard punchers cause cuts and thats what happened. Punchers cut and bruise you up.

Lewis was only 2 points behind on my card. It doesn't matter a jot though. Title fights are 12 rounds not 6. Its a total non-issue and always has been. Vitali's fans whine like *****es.
