No, no, no. The FACT is that I'm not the one with the bias. I understand it was a difficult fight for both and I give both props for showing what they can do. Vitali coming in in such great shape was a major credit and Lewis coming in in such poor shape, comparatively, was not to his credit.
The difference between me and guys like you though. You guys refuse, utterly refuse, to look at it from a straight ahead boxing perspective.
"Vitali won because he was in front by one round when it got stopped." No, he lost. It's that simple. He didn't win. With that excuse, which gets brought up every time this fight gets mentioned, you'd have to excuse every fighter in history that lost a fight when his face got so smashed open that the fight had to be stopped.
So, every fighter throughout boxing history that has punched his opponents face into a bloody pulp, but was one round down when the guy was TKO'd actually lost? This is the type of stuff that you guys throw out there. I argue this type of stuff whether it is for or against Klitschko. If Klistchko had won the same way and Lewis fans used this excuse I'd argue it just as fervently. He lost that fight fair and square but you guys refuse to take it as such.
See, just like this guy above that I replied to. He didn't mention that Lewis also took the fight on 12 days or that Vitali had a fight scheduled and was in full training. No, it was only "Lewis was in the best shape ever and Vitali hadn't even trained a single day when he got the notice 12 days before"
That's the type of **** that gets thrown around here and it's that type of foolishness and bias that annoys me. It doesn't matter if it is Klitschko, Mayweather, Hopkins, Tszyu, Marquez, Pacquiao, Hatton, Fenech, Darchinyan....I'll argue for that guy that is being unfairly prejudiced. I never bring this stuff up unless absurd bias is shown by people who ignore one side of the argument, then I am more than happy to bring up this ****....and as usual, get jumped on by a million guys claiming racism, bias, hate blah blah blah blah. The funny thing is, I have this stuff from guys claiming hate/racism against white fighters, as well as guys claiming hate/racism against black fighters because I don't take sides unlike you guys. If I see a stupid, unfair criticism I'll challenge it, no matter who it is.
No, I just want a fair shake for guys that get **** for something they shouldn't.
Boxing is about punching your opponent. You don't win a fight unless you hit the guy. You don't win a fight by TKO, with the opponents face annihilated, unless you're landing some serious shots. It doesn't happen by accident. Lewis is trying to actually do serious damage by punching his face. That's how the damage occurred. That's what boxing is about. If a cut occurs from a punch, that's because that's what the opponent is trying to do. They train their whole lives to land shots that break the face open, hurt the guy, knock him out, bruise his ribs, hurt his liver, cut his eyes, crack his chin. That's boxing. That's the point.
You might as well as start arguing for anyone that lands a good body shot that happens to break a rib. He's not thinking "I'm going to deliberately break his rib with this shot" because that's not how you think. He is thinking "I'm going to do as much damage as possible with this shot" and that includes cracked ribs, bruised liver, sternum punch to take the breath...or if at the head, hit his temple to confuse his equilibrium, cut his eyes, break his nose, KHTFO out with a perfect chin shot....on and on and on.
I don't understand why this seems so hard to grasp....?
Why you referring me along with crazy Klitschko fans?
All I did is pointed that your paragraph was complete bs. if you were some lfc guy, who rides nuts with all UK fighters I wouldn't reply. I knew you were good poster, that's why I pointed that to you.
And talking about accidents? You can cut accidentally with a side of the glove. You also said it counts when a boxer punches, I don't think Vitali was just standing there.
If Marzquez, Golovkin, Mayweather are winning a fight and then doctor stops the fight, because his face damaged, while he was winning. I won't consider that he lost.
So with all honesty, I don't believe that you are being fair with me.
