The Klitschko's

[XionComrade]

No, not really. It just seems like an excuse to vent your obvious hatred and resentment of them.

How is it resentment or hatred of them? I am cutting down this opposition and trying to pick at the Klitschkos. I still need to do Byrd, Sanders, Donald, Arreola, Lewis(Obviously), and Purity for Vitali...Then on to Wlad. Observations are always fun, and so far I would say everything I have said is true. If Vitali fought a great pressure fighter ALA Frazier or Tyson with his arms down, his chin out, and his feet planted he would be in hot water all night long, I think that is fair to say. If he fought a great counter puncher like Lewis or Ali with his arms by his side he would get picked apart, simple as that.

The 4 reviews I have done may sound biased, and may be a little, but I would argue that everything I have said is true. This era cannot be compared to possibly any other in history, it is aweful. So far the Byrd fight has been the toughest one I have seen for Vitali, and it was a good very even fight from both sides, I will finish it tomorrow...Byrd was a Middleweight in the amateurs, kind of throws out the "Bigger fighters of today" being better than the smaller ones of the past eh? I am having fun, feel free to discuss with me, I learn something new every day.


Vitali Klitschko Vs Chris Byrd

A good, tactical, even boxing match by both competitors. Byrd stays on the defensive most of the fight, which apparently did not please the judges. By the end of the fight I had Klitschko 2 rounds ahead in the fight.

Chris Byrd took the fight with 10 days notice, and despite that the fight was very even. Vitali quits on his stool do to a left shoulder injury after his best round of the fight. It is interesting that people scream for a Lewis-Vitali rematch when Vitali did not rematch his toughest/most controversial opponent, Chris Byrd...A fight that was more-so controversial than the Lewis-Vitali one.

Vitali fought a very good fight here. Showed his cool, calm, and collective attitude in the ring by never throwing caution to the wind. When his shots stopped landing against Byrd, instead of putting more power behind the shots as Byrd was counting on, which most heavyweights would do(And would have been the end of them), Vitali shortened up his shots and began to even out the fight, showing the speed and accuracy I mention in the Briggs fight. Great fight from both fighters, could have went either way just as easily as the other. Neither fighter was capable of KOing the other. Vitali showed a good disciplined fight against a seasoned slick boxer.

Two things

1. The history section is for retired boxers, not current world champs.
2. If you scored more than 2 rounds for Byrd, I wouldn't quit your day job.

1. I can't move it myself now that it is here
2. I liked Byrd's defense and aggression, no way he only won 2 rounds....

Its all good, I didn't know which one it should go in at first, because I was discussing the Klits past fights, I'll be done with it in 2 days or so.

Vitali Klitschko Vs. Lennox Lewis

Classic case of Lennox Lewis not taking a opponent seriously. Lewis comes into the fight after having said that Vitali had no skill whatsoever, believing him to be a complete pushover. Lennox entered the ring in the worst physical shape of his entire career.

Rounds 1 and 2 I gave clearly to Vitali. Both fighters are fighting a similar fight, using the jab to push the other away and landing short punches on the inside. Lewis is clearly overwhelmed and underprepared, it is the worst performance of his career. It seems to me that Vitali may have landed two times the shots Lewis did and is being more aggressive, something I like to see when scoring. The power and strength belong to Lewis, Vitali's shots have little to no effect on Lewis but he has few counter for Vitali's shots at this point.

Round 3 goes to Lewis easily. As the cut opens over Vitali's eye Lewis turns on, neutralizing Vitali's aggression with his own. Vitali fights back but Lewis outclasses him for the most part. The desperation is obvious from both fighters. That cut is ****ing horrific. Right here I put to rest all of the claims that Lewis cut Vitali either with a headbutt or a lace, if you say that, you are ignorant and have never seen this fight. Lewis nailed him with the two big knuckles of his fist, a perfect shot, Vitali took it well.

(Of course Larry Merchant, another HBO ******, says "Their has never been any heavyweight championship with this kind of intense action." What the ****? I always thought the HBO "Specialists" to be a crying bunch of ******s anyway, and that proves it.)

Round 4 goes to Lewis barely. Lewis came on strong for the first two minutes but Vitali took the last minute. Both men are extremely tired, Vitali is initializing the clinches, the cut has not reopened. Good fight from both men.

(Merchant just will not shut the **** up, he is poised to argue with Big George all night long with his mindless bullcrap. George will say something smart and meaningful and right after ****ing Merchant the R-tard will jump in and say "No, I think I could take you in a fight" I am just imagining Foreman killing him in 1000 ways....)

Round 5 goes to Lewis. Lewis is landing crisper, cleaner, harder shots. Lewis is unloading some serious sledgehammers on Vitali right on the face but Vitali just hangs in their and throws his own shots. The cut has reopened, but in all honesty it doesn't seem to bother Vitali yet. Dear Lord, how can they let this fight go on? It is horribly dangerous to Vitali, that amount of blood loss with PROFOUNDLY affect his stamina, if not hospitalize him easily.

Round 6 a close one UNTIL THE END! Vitali clearly out on his feet from a Lewis right to the temple, Vitali Holds on! A great uppercut from Lewis! Vitali wobbly, but slowly walks back to his stool....How did you guys miss this? Why wasn't this ever a part of the discussions? What a beard on Klitschko!


The fight is stopped. No disgrace here, as their was with Byrd, I think this makes up for that. This was a helluva fight even if Lewis was completely unprepared. Both men fought their asses off IMHO. Balls from Vitali, man would have to have brass balls to want to continue with a cut like that, I would say he could have easily been blinded if it continued to 12. Both men equally wore out by the end of the fight, I think that Lewis' weight played a toll, not only on himself, but on Vitali also. Lewis would have won the decision had the cut not happened, Vitali out on his feet at the end of round 6. He did lose rounds 3-6, but you can't take anything away, the guy has serious balls and talent.

Vitali did not have the power to hurt Lewis, but demonstrated speed that was on par with him it seems to me. Vitali ate some monsters that fight, but if Lewis were prepared as he was with Tyson, I am afraid it would have been much different, Lewis KO in the mid rounds easily...No shame in that, the same thing happened to Tyson.

The worst performance of Lewis' career by far was the first Rahman fight. But you're determined to twist every possible angle to minimize Klitschko. It couldn't be more transparent. But then again I'm one of the few people even reading this stuff.

You fail to mention that Lewis was 4lbs heavier for the Klitschko fight...At least he kept in mind that Rahman had heavy hands, he said Vitali was basically a big nothing. He was 7lbs lighter for the Tyson fight...He was MUCH sharper against the shorter, slower Rahman...To say otherwise is just nutthugging. Lewis underestimated, and paid...Good job saying something before thinking. I tell it like it is.
