Did anyone else notice Lennox Lewis was landing chopping punches on Vitali Klitschko?

[punchr]

After watching the fight, I saw Lewis throwing punches that ripped into Vitali -- chopping digging shots.

Whereas it appeared Vitali K.'s punches were just surface punches -- scrapping shots, light, kind of slapping, not digging in or chopping.

Although I understand Lennox threw fewer and Klitschko threw more. I just feel Lewis was more damaging/more effective.

Nope. Vitali was clearly winning until the cut.

[SN!PER]

He got really aggressive after that cut opened.

When Lennox smells blood, he goes for it.

Lennox was the one who was rocked a few times not Vitali,i would say both had equal damaging effects,Vitali hurt him more before the cut.Watch the second round Vitali nearly drops him but doesn't follow up.

The question is not who was winning... because I can see why someone would score it for Vitali, i.e., he as throwing more punches. However, Lewis was chopping with the few punches that he was throwing and it showed, just look at the state of his face. The question is did you see Lennox land chopping/ripping punches on Klitschko?

Agreed. He used veteran tactics on the younger fighter.

Lennox started to dominate, Vitali was fading

It was clear who had the championship experience

Vitali gave it his all, Lewis was however still there, strong as ever

Brutal fight, Lewis hit him with some nasty uppercuts, wobbled him

You dont see HW's like that anymore


Wlad and Wilder wudnt have lasted more than 5 rounds against either man

Good post. I'll rewatch that round.

Vitali started very strong, first 2 rounds, round 3 LL started finding his rhythm and came in to round 4, working that damaged eye

round 5 was mostly lewis, vitali was wobbled by a left hook, took multiple uppercuts, a thunderous right hand, which pushed vatli back. he also worked his body, which paid off as the fight went into the 6

and round 6 lewis landed an uppercut which cud have sent someones head flying in to outterspace, imo the punch of the fight, vitali was missing punches, there was very little behind his shots, while lewis was still hitting with full throttle force

lewis conditioning however was horrible in that fight, he was looking a tad overweight

I definitely did. Vitali was on his way out. I'm surprised some people didn't see it.
