It was Vitali's punch to the temple that took away the feeling in his legs momentarily, and so he fell in an awkward way and injured his ankle.
It was Lewis' punches to the face that tore Vitali's face up.
Read this a few weeks ago, some guy turned £8.5k into 135k by betting only on favourites-
"A plucky gambler has taken on the bookies and won by amassing a fortune backing a string of red-hot favourites.
The anonymous 33-year-old has put together a 23-bet unbroken run that bookies believe is a world record, turning an initial stake of £8,500 into £135,528 over less than two months despite restricting himself to bets that carry only tiny risks.
By focusing only on hot favourites - such as top tennis stars in the first rounds of tournaments, or boxers who go into bouts which are clearly mismatches - he has patiently built up his kitty into a fortune.
Bookies William Hill told The Sun that the punter they've dubbed "Dead Cert Man" is enjoying, "the most spectacular winning run in recent memory."
Most of his bets have been straightforward: he landed nearly £1,500 on a first round treble of Novak Djokovic (at 1/14 on), Rafael Nadal (1/20) and Roger Federer (1/33) all to win their first-round matches at the Miami Masters in March, and scooped £6,000 by backing boxer Nathan Cleverly (pictured right) at odds of 1/16 on to beat a no-hoper who was a late replacement for original opponent Juergen Braehmer."
All these discussions (arguments) are tiring.
Why can't people stop hating on either fighter and just look forward to the fight on Saturday? Most posters only want their chosen fighter to win so they can gloat 'I told you so'. It's a disgrace. Even boxing scene staff are at it, which reflects the sorry state of this website more than anything else.
It's ok to like some fighters more than other. That's natural. However, hating on another boxer just to further the cause of your own is weak. I've been guilty of it, but not at the extent of some of the more famous Klitshcko/Haye fans on the site.
Klitschko's defeat to Purity doesn't matter. Haye's loss to Thompson doesn't matter. All that matters is what goes on in that ring on Saturday night. Talk boxing, and support your favourite fighters but, do it from a objective stance.

I get the impression a lot of people seem to be underestimating David Haye. But I would not consider it an upset, I see it as 60-40 for Wlad so with those percentages he has a chance.
Going to someone's amateur days reeks of desperation to me...he is a different fighter at heavyweight, if you don't see that your in denial or a hater.
Precisely. Whenever the issue of a certain Corrie Sanders comes up, the first response you'll hear is- "But Wlad is a different fighter now from all those years ago". Yet this logic doesn't seem to apply to Haye and he isn't allowed to improve. Right..
