Anyone have a GIF of Lennox Lewis getting badly hurt by Vitali Klitschko?

[MetalVomit]

damn, 5 pages, and no gif. Backfire-thread.

How about a gif of that uppercut Lewis hit Vitali with. That's probabaly the greatest uppercut I've ever seen. The sheer sound from it alone.

Vitali took it well.

[Jim Jeffries]

The weight was 256 and a half and Lewis almost never weighed 250 or over. And certainly not for his best fights. His previous high weight was 253 when he was ill prepared and lost to Rahman the first time. If the weight didn't matter he would not have come in 7 pounds lighter for the rematch. If you're going to lie at least get your numbers straight. Lewis wanting "extra weight" for the fight is one of the most lame excuse/rationalizations I've ever heard. Lewis didn't even know he was fighting Klitschko until 2 weeks before the fight. So that's a lie no matter who said it.

Well I don't think Edgarg pulled it out of nowhere.

Lewis's business manager, Adrian Ogun, gave some elaborate spin to the weigh-in which had old fight men shaking their heads in dismay.

"This is the strategy," said Ogun. "Manny and Harold [the trainers Steward and Knight] nodded when they heard Lennox's weight because it's what they wanted after the opponent was changed from Kirk Johnson to Klitschko, a much bigger and heavier man. I'm sure Lennox will be more motivated than when he fought Rahman."

Thank you Big Jim, I actually remembered Lewis saying it. And to support your reprint, I recall that Merchant and the others brought it up as a topic for conversation at some boxing match, i can`t remember who was fighting.

That Haemorrhoid guy always seems to track what I say and try to discredit it. Maybe it`s because he can`t properly sit down without discomfort which makes him so obstreporous.

If he`s reading this, I`d like him to know, that he can buy something for it in a pharmacy....... I don`t hold grievances.......

regardless of what people say about lewis' fighting shape, klitschko proved to me he could hang with any atg that night

As a matter of common sense my dear Mr. Hickey, since Lewis was originally training to fight Kirk Johnson, an unbeaten fighter (save for a phony DQ against Ruiz) with over 30 wins and a big KO run, he would make sure to be in good, fast shape, this self dubbed `PUGILIST SPECIALIST who would ``èat one Klitschko for breakfast, and the other one for lunch`...etc.etc..

When 10 days before the fight, he agreed (for umpteen extra millions) to fight his LONG TIME No.1 challenger, his MANDATORY, whom he`d been avoiding for ever, whilst at the same time denigrating him (and his brother) with his loose-lipped mouth, He`d make damned sure he was in his best condition. Common sense dictates this.

I defy you, and any other dumbo to prove differently, and whilst I know that ignorance can be amended, ******ity is forever, so I`m not holding my breath.

Please don`t say `hold it hold it`....... It`s too obvious.

Vitali is as tough as old boots and he can both give and take a punch. Make no mistake, he would be trouble for any man in a boxing ring.

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

THE TRUTH

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis was badly hurt and was staggering around the ring like a drunk, he barely survived the 2nd round. Lewis was getting outboxed, outworked, outlanded and was hurt several times 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 and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

Vitali intimidated the **** out of the scared Lewis after the fight and made him look like a *****. All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and boo'd Lewis after the fight.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 25 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

THE TRUTH



....Lennox Won

[Holtol]

Vitali was out of shape for the fight. Took the fight on short notice.

was a Good fight had Vitali ahead but with those cuts and the leather that was flying and making contact Lewis could have got a ko if the fight kept going or vice versa.
