    Since the cut was caused by an illegal head-butt, it should have gone to the score cards.

    There was a punch, but I didn't see any blood, then the heads came together, then there was a lot of blood.

    Vitali should have won a TD.

    Lewis was doing a lot of illegal stuff that the ref was letting him get away with. At one point he held Vitali's arm with one arm, and punched him repeatedly on the back with the other. You can hear the impact of those punches when watching the video.

      I was at that fight at Staples and from what I remember, Lennox was coming on…it’s not out of the question that he coulda finished the job in the ensuing rounds

        If Casanova was Lennox Lewis he would be the greatest heavyweight man that ever lived
        He'd be fleetfooted though

          Lewis was saved, if it wasnt for his illegal tactics i am sure he was going to get knocked out,

          Lewis had the chance to set things straight by fighting a rematch but instead he decided to duck Vitali and 25 million and retired, that should tell you enough that Lewis knew he was lucky,

            I agree he ducked VK..
            He didnt want no part of the rematch after first saying he'd fight him again..

              Tell me this Herb, as you are one of the least biased Vitalis fans.

              What would you prefered to have happen,

              Lewis wins, Vitali keeps his vision fine and we all know who was the better man that night

              Or

              Vitali wins, with a big risk of permanent eye damage and we all know who was the better man that night?

              Cause, I know which one I would prefer, and it happened.

                I prefer VK with the eye injury so we wouldnt have him around now

                  Like Lewis said: "look at the state of his face !? what more can i do to it!? My face could take his punches and his obviously couldn't take mine!"
                  And do you know what??
                  Lennox was right !

                      You would have liked to risk the end of Vitalis career?

                      There was a serious risk of Vitalis damaging the vision in his eye due to that cut, that could have seen the end of his career, for the sake of 1 win?

                      I would have liked to see a rematch as well,

                      I don't like the way people use that fight to insule Lewis when infact he was not beaten as badly as people say that night.
