i watched that fight again yesterday, both fighter were stunned, but i distinctly noticed lewis landing his big overhand time and time again, thats what opened that horrible cut up and those punches werent going to stop coming, from round 3 onwards lewis landed that punch almost at will and it wasnt going to stop anytime soon, vitali landed some heavy blows too, it was panning into a relatively even fight at the time it was stopped, but lewis was starting to come home very hard, landing some big uppercuts and overhands
if the fight wasnt stopped i think lewis knocks him out in the 10th, vitali would have been left blind in that eye and would be unable to defend against the right hand,
vitali is lucky that fight got stopped, he couldnt defend against lewis' right and would have been left in terrible shape had it continued
the fight was stopped legitimately, the cut was caused by a punch, it was stopped for vitali's safety, ive repeated myself a million times, STOP WHINING
Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards. He badly hurt Lewis, had him staggering around the ring like a drunk, almost knocked him out.
punches landed
Vitali 156
Lewis 102
Lewis collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, he was tired, hurt and worn down from the accumulation of punches. Vitali was the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis in the 7th or 8th round if the fight had continued.
Lewis promised Vitali a rematch if he could get by Kirk Johnson.
Vitali destroyed Johnson in 2 rounds
Lewis retired like a coward shortly after that fight. He turned down over 25 million dollars for a rematch because he is scared of Vitali and he knows Vitali will knock him out and tarnish his legacy.
