Originally posted by deathofaclown View PostLol what. He TKO'd him. There's no opinion needed, it's a fact.
Lewis smashed his face in with clean shots, and Vitali had to be pulled out.
It's that simple.
In this case, it was nowhere near as bad some of the early 1900 fighters who kept going even though they were dead on their feet.
This is what the great Boxing movies are based off of (though the action sequences are exaggerated). If it were left up to you, Rocky would've been TKO'd in all of his fights before the going got good.

You're reaching now trying to justify Vitali being stopped if you have to bring up history from over 100 years ago.
I've heard some pathetic excuses on this site, but this is right up there.

1) Vitali was ahead on all scorecards
2) Vitali was able and willing to continue
3) Vitali wanted a rematch because of 1) and 2)

Lewis clearly won the fight.
But at the end of it, the guy who lost looked like he was ready to keep going, and the guy who won was more than happy it was over.
Happy enough to make sure he never stepped in the ring again, despite looking at a career payday.

Lewis stopped Vitali in 6 rounds.
And i don't want to hear any of your feeble excuses next week when the Gypsy King does that big stiff robot Wlad in 4 rounds.
