Take off your Klitschko hater goggles. You need to learn how to score fights. Anyone who gave Lewis more than 2 rounds is either blind or ****** (or both).

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

THE TRUTH

Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

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, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, 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.

All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

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

Lewis turned down 30 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his bitch ass into retirement.



George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.

Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

So now you score TWO rounds for Vitali in the Lewis fight?

Why am I not surprised?

[Scott9945]

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.

You should realize that 4-7 pounds means very little on a 250 lb man. Lennox looked like total **** in the first Rahman fight. I'm left with the choice of believing you, or my lying eyes.

Also Lennox's prime was in his early to mid 30's. So being 37 in the Vitali fight was not as big a detriment as some would have you believe.

Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

The Truth, if Vitali took the fight on 10 days notice, so did Lewis. Vitali would not take the fight if he was not prepared, and most top ranked contenders study the top fighters in a division >.< The biggest issue here is that Lewis took the fight early instead of pushing it back to December like he had originally planned because he believe Klitschko to be a walking heavybag with no skill whatsoever...Which is insane.

When was Lewis hurt in the fight? I think round 2 he was staggered, but after that it never happened. Both men tired about the same rate, Klitschko possibly moreso because he lost a insane amount of blood. The only one that was hurt late in the fight was Vitali, as I have already said, Lewis caught him with a right cross on the temple and a uppercut, Vitali was on wobbly legs holding on as Lewis tried to run across the ring with him...But waiiiit, it seems like everyone missed that!

Why would Lewis rematch? He was in the same fight I saw, both men were tiring in a tough fight, but Vitali was gone. Lewis was going to end that fight within the next 4 or 5 rounds...Now you can argue that if Klitschko was not cut, therefore not losing a huge amount of blood, he would have fared much better than Lewis did, and I do believe that. But the cut happened from a punch, so therefore it is a fair but strange happening. Vitali could have well been blinded or seriously injured if he continued, he lost way to much blood.

You, however, are absolutely insane if you think that Lewis was KTFO at the end of the 6th, it was his second best round of the fight...Vitali was starting to feel the hurt of blood loss and Lewis. You are equally insane if you think that Vitali would have taken the rematch...Look at what Lewis did to Rahman in the rematch >.<


4-7 lbs is the difference in being in shape or out of shape Scott, you should know that if you are around boxing. Lewis looked terrible in that fight from the opening bell. Lewis looked Decent in the Rahman fight, but tired quickly. He looked much better than he did against Vitali, both because Rahman is a damn bum and Lewis was in even worse shape...

[Steelhammer2011]

Also Lennox's prime was in his early to mid 30's. So being 37 in the Vitali fight was not as big a detriment as some would have you believe.

...and Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis/Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement. That's a FACT.

Saying that Vitali dominated Lewis is pure ignorance...That was a close fight, Lewis landed the harder shots, Lewis put on the late round pressure, Lewis opened the cut, and Lewis just walked through Vitali's shots...Not to mention that it was a title fight, the general rule of thumb is that if a round is so close it can go either way against the champion, it GOES to the champion....

Lewis was coming off of a fight he was in great shape for and into a fight he thought wouldn't even be one...he did that two times before. If Vitali won the fight then we would have gotten what we wanted, but he didn't. Lewis didn't give a ****, he has tens of millions sitting under his ass as it is and was getting aged...he no longer had the athleticism he had in his Razor Ruddock days. No reason to rematch a fight that didn't scare your record I guess >.< Biggest mistake of his career.

Vitali Klitschko Vs. Danny Williams

Williams came into this fight heavy, but looks in shape. I think this was done to help him keep Vitali on the back foot and pressure him with additional strength, but time will tell.

Round 1

Williams comes out aggressively trying to get on the inside. Vitali pawing with the left hand looking for a opening, using it to keep Williams at range with good jab/hook combinations.

"Danny Williams doesn't seem to think Vitali is a big puncher!"

Well Danny he may not be a big puncher, but he is lighting your behind on fire. Good combinations from Vitali, Vitali looking for the KO and Williams has nothing to answer with. Williams does the crazy chicken and goes down. Williams up and swinging wildly, Vitali just ducks and lands. Williams out on his feet as the bell rings.

Vitali shows that hand speed and accuracy from the opening bell.

Round 2

Williams gets in a couple of good jabs, Vitali wide open for them but they are not enough to give Williams any advantage. Vitali dominates Williams in this round, hurting him twice but keeps his composure throughout the round not going for the kill. Vitali completely outclassing Williams who has no answers. His left hand, agility, hand speed, and accuracy completely overwhelming Williams.

Round 3

Klitschko showing a weakness I had already come to conclusions about. He cannot fight backwards, he does not do well against a good pressure fighter. Williams rallys, when he comes forward he lands with ease, as Vitali does not hold his hands up here. Vitali is forced to move straight backwards to avoid the shots and cannot counter. Why does he hold his hands so low?

Vitali now starts to establish his combos holding Williams back. Williams manages to get in his left hand(Forced jab), but Vitali outlands him. Low blow from Williams right on the balls it looked like. And Williams walks into a left hook! Perfect timing from Vitali! Williams down face first.

It seems as though Vitali is holding his left hand down to catch Williams off guard with a sort of left hook/uppercut hybrid. He has done it several times. Seeing as how he doesn't have to worry about any pressure or right hands from Williams so long as he keeps his right hand and jab going, Williams is finished here.

Round 4

Vitali starts fast. Combinations, accuracy, speed. He is just beating Williams to a pulp. Williams only answers are wild hooks and forced jabs. Beautiful boxing display from Vitali this round!

The announcers keep saying that Vitali is winded, I don't see it. He is breathing hard but that is it. He doesn't seem to be having any problems with fatigue or stamina here, nor has he ever. He fights a good, calculated pace.

Round 5

I don't think Williams threw a single punch, he certainly didn't do enough, in my eyes, to show that this fight should go on. Maybe he is resting and banking on Klitschkos stamina, fat chance XD'

Rounds 6 and 7

More domination from Vitali. One thing happened in round 7 I was impressed with. Vitali put Williams down, caught him off balance. Instead of foolishly moving in for the KO like 99% of heavyweights do, he kept his cool and did not change a thing. It seems to me that Williams needed to be pulled out in round 6, round 7 he is just a punching bag.

Round 8 it is over

What heart from Williams, and Skill from Vitali, take nothing away from either man!

To clear up a few things...because I love talking power punchers

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/4089373.stm

"He didn't hit as hard as Mike Tyson but he was more consistent with his punches.

"Tysons punches through defense was like Klitschkos punches without any defense" ....

Old Tyson hit harder...
