Is it sad how Klitschko fans always bring up the Lewis fight?

    Vitali's quit against Byrd was the analytical, pragmatic sports-scientist in him taking over and making a professional decision.

    He more than made up for it in the Lewis fight, where he let the fighter in him take over when his face was hanging open in multiple places.


    There is no actual quit in Vitali. That stuff is bull****.

      What was the decision he made? 'Cos it looked like he decided to quit to me, making your last statement rather flawed.

      People need to get real and see the truth - Boxing is about defence as well as offence, and Vitali was stopped by Lewis, who repeatedly punched his face until it bust open.

      No 'could've, would've, should've' - Lewis did've.

        Hurt from what? Vitali hadn't landed a shot to hurt him in several rounds. Plus, I don't understand the logic of saying "without the cut, Vitaly would've..." The cut came from a punch - it's a part of boxing. Not to mention the blood pouring from his mouth, bruised and swollen cheekbone, etc. He was getting disfigured minute by minute. If the fight would've went on Vitaly might not have had a face.

          Nah - your perceptive faculties are just limited, so you don't get what I'm saying.


          Which is fine, have fun!

            This is how a winner responds to being cut on the face:



            This is how a loser responds....


            Vitali had 3 more rounds, and a 6 year age advantage to get get the job done. No excuses.

              Vitali's quit job was a disgrace and embarrassment to the sport.

                  Also don't forget his corner was pulling him out anyway, they knew he had had enough.
