Originally posted by Mr. Invincible View PostOk you are missing the point. The point was that Vitali had been beating Lewis and Lennox was lucky he won at all and failed to give a very warranted rematch everyone wanted to see.
when your face cant hold up to the punches you are not winning the fight
of what use are scorecards when you get stopped?
lewis stopped klitschko. he couldnt protect his face enough to keep it from getting too badly destroyed to continue fighting
TKO6

Originally posted by paul750 View PostThis is what irritates me about Vitali. He fought a great fight and should have just accepted it and tried to get the rematch. Instead, he says he was injured when it was Lewis who caused the injuries with punches. He even said it was a headbutt by Lewis right after the fight, which was a clear lie. You cannot change the definition of a TKO. Lewis cut him multiple times with punches, yet both Vitali and a lot of supporters still claim it was some freak one off accident. Vitali has proven himself to be a very good heavyweight, but he needs to quit making excuses about that fight.

i'm sure a 38 yr. old lennox lewis had no plans on retiring before beating him.

Originally posted by Mr. Invincible View PostTheir heads came together on numerous occasions. Vitali thinking it was a head clash is normal. In fact, the punch that supposedly caused the main cut above the eye in question landed right before a head clash and it was hard to tell if the punch did it or the heads coming together. You should be a little more objective and give it a closer look before ragging on a respectful guy like Vitali.
Perhaps it is hard for someone like him to be gracious in defeat when he is so used to winning. It may have been a crappy ending, but it was legit and Vitali acted like a child.

P.S. Lennox was 37 amd Vitali currently dominates the division at 40+ years of age.

Originally posted by paul750 View PostHe usually is respectful. But he wasn't during and after that fight with Lewis. He kicked Lewis, then Lewis helped him up. He then tried to start a fight with Lewis after he knew he had lost, which was childish. Then he claimed headbutt etc.
