Lewis had his best round in round6, where he landed that massive uppercut. Vitali was up 4-2, but Lewis looked to be coming on stronger.

(Violins playing a sad tune in the background.)
Moot point. Vitali did not lose by controversial decision or was robbed. He lost on cuts which is legal in boxing, the last I heard. Lewis does not need to give Vitali a rematch, for what? He beat him already. The rematch would just either knock Vitali out or cut him again? Lewis has this man's number.
Again, you KlitschWHO fans can't live with the fact that an ageing, unprepared, distracted Lennox Lewis beat your prime and overhyped hero. GIVE IT THE EFF UP, already!
Take a careful look at their resumes without bias.
How many fighters who had never been stopped before were stopped by Lewis?
How many fighters who were never stopped before were stopped by Vitali? By Wlad?
Lewis fought a lot of mediocre or shot (Tyson) opponents. All of those he stopped had been stopped before.
Lewis was younger than Vitali is now for their fight, and was actually close to his prime, which he reached in his 30s. Vitali hadn't even trained for an opponent like Lewis, yet would have beat him if not for the cut and desperate, illegal tactics by Lennox.
perfect example of a klit fan and not a real boxing fan.
I think it's time to stop going on about this fight. I'm a klitschko fan aswell and was pissed off at the outcome when i first watched the fight, but it was a legitimate win for Lewis. Klitschko was getting the better of Lennox but he should have been more protective of that cut when it first opened up instead of going toe to toe.
I can understand why fans are still debating a controversial fight like Chavez-Taylor I, but I can't understand why people are still obsessing over this fight. Viltali fought well but was too badly injured to continue. What is the controversy?
There really is none Scott, only in the sense that a lotta people disagreed wit it. But it was the right call.
OLD PAST PRIME Lennox Lewis TKO 6 PRIME Vitali Klitschko.
you do not even know the defenition of the word schooling. I dont dislike the klitschkos infact im a fan of them but its retarded people like you that say vitali "schooled" lennox that makes me say this. the fact is Vitali lost just look at the state of his face that was from an old 37 year old Lennox Lewis. think about what a prime Lennox Lewis would do.
if that was a schooling by vitali then all fighters that have been behind on points have been schooled. being behind on points and being schooled is not the same thing.
They won't like very much for that. But nevertheless it is very manly to say what one thinks. I agree with you btw on this topic. I saw the fight 28 or 29 times exactly, in all of those 29 times Vitali lost by TKO in the sixth. Lucky? How about getting out of the fight with your vision still in dual mode, wouldn't you consider that lucky given the condition the termina... i mean Vitali had his eye in? I think Vitali got lucky he's not a pirate now. But then again, if he was, crazy old Jones would probably try to sell a mega PPV featuring himself as "hook(er)" and Vitali as the eye patched Easten pirate!
Lewis is just lucky the doctor stopped the fight. Vitali didn't want to stop fighting.
Most fighters don't want a fight stopped because of a cut; they'd be pretty crap if they did. Like the others, though, I don't see why Lewis was 'lucky'. A lot of fights are stopped because of cuts. Sure Vitali might have won if it went the distance, but it didn't (is anybody seriously claiming it shouldn't have been stopped?) and that's the end of it. Plus, of course, it isn't as if the fight was stopped in the 12th. Who knows what would have happened in the second half of it?
Nobody schooled anybody. That fight was a toe to toe slugfest. And controversy or not, LL won by TKO. And this is old as fukk.

It's funny how some people get instantly blind when cut under or above the eye. :kabong:
Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards. Lewis was badly hurt and was staggering around the ring like a drunk, he barely survived the 2nd round and was hurt again later in the fight.
punches landed
Vitali 156
Lewis 102
Lewis was exhausted and worn down from the accumulation of punches, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission that night and would've KO'd Lewis if the fight had continued.
All 20,000 fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and boo'd Lewis after the fight. Vitali was the real winner of that fight, he battered Lewis into retirement.
Lewis promised Vitali a rematch if he could beat Kirk Johnson.
Vitali destroyed Johnson in 2...The scared Lewis retired like a coward shortly after that fight.
Lewis turned down 25 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew Vitali would destroy him and tarnish his legacy.
hahahaha, Nothing like a gutted fan is there! TKO 6 springs to mind.
Lennox was getting beat on but he was not being careful because he was trying to rip Vitali's face off, which he accomplished. It's not like Vitali was clearly going to win.
Vitali was up 4 rounds to 2. He was winning the fight but that cut which was a lucky shot basically cost him the fight. He lost fair and square but he probably would have won the fight if the doctor hadn't stopped it.
Brother,it is what it is,I knew he was ahead as well,but it did end by tko,I also believe he looked better that night & if he didn't get cut he may have won!!:boxing:
well how can people say froch got schooed whe he actually knocked tatlor our yet lewis gets brooked and a lucky cut was stopped and not to vitalis consent, look how angry he is...
