There is a difference between touching shots and chopping shots. To the naked eye they might look the same. They are not the same.

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

Originally posted by FrankieBruno View PostVitali 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

That was the last great HW fight. It's rare to see HW fights like that these days. Vitali was outboxing, but Lewis nullified it using his experience to get a TKO against the younger fighter. Either way, Lewis and Vitali are both legends.

Yea was more effective, just look at the cut. If the fight had gone on vitali might have been knocked out. Lewis adjusted and started dominating

Many people who have never watched the fight comment on it and pretend Vitali was dominating throughout and Lewis scored "lucky" cuts to win. In reality after the 3rd round Lewis was taking over the fight. The cuts came because Lewis was repeatedly smashing Vitali so hard his face was tearing to pieces. Vitali's punches were having less and less effect as the fight wore on and Lewis was landing alot of vicious shots. By the last round Lewis was teeing off on Vitali and in spite of how tough Vitali was it was just a matter of time before he was getting KO'd.

Notice after the brutal uppercut, Lewis lands a chopping left that has Vitali out on his feet and clinging for dear life and then another uppercut at the end of the round. Vitali was getting pulverized.
