Funny how Lewis fans justify.........

I don't have to lie about anything..part of NEVER tasting canvas is to grab & or hold your opponent so he doesn't follow up. This is a defensive skillset..everyone does it when they've been tagged hard.. Lewis did it too in the fight. No one is immune if the right punch lands.
With that being said...i wouldn't gloat about landing 2 of your best punches to a semi-blind VK who ABSOLUTELY didn't even see those punches coming & still not being able to take him down. He also got suckerpunched on a fast counter left by Corrie Sanders & knew how to weather the storm.
IN BOTH instances other lesser fighters would've hit the canvas hard. His little bro got caught with the same exact left counter & we all so the results. Vitali is used to being hit hard because of his kickboxing/martial arts background.
His CHIN has been called alltime great because of those 2 fights as other than that...he's never been remotely hurt or in danger of going down. So even thoughthe dude rarely gets hit clean..peeps know that if he does..he can take it. That's a sign of a great beard...better than Lennox whos' been wobbled more than a handful of times in his career.
The part where you lied is when you said V.Klitschko "wasn't phazed" by Lewis' hardest shots when in fact he was on the brink of getting knocked out, so you were wrong on that. It's a bit ironic that in this fight, the one that was hurt the most was the one with the iron chin and not the one with the supposed glass chin.
And about Klitschko's chin, I never bought the hype about it that much. Like you said yourself, he was barely ever actually hit clean. I can recall only a handfull of moments where he was hit really hard and we could see that he was badly hurt or wobbled like against Lewis and Sanders.
And as this particular fight progressed, and you said yourself that VK was not seeing any of Lewis' punches anymore, it's very dangerous and it would not have ended well for him imo.Comment

You talk about Vitali being hurt more than Lewis because of the visible cosmetic differences in there appearance (amateurish indeed) Lewis was bounced around like a ping pong ball all night long & was practically out on his feet for 2 minutes of rd 2. Vitali wasn't in danger of going down..if he was he would have. He took those bombs by both fighters & proceeded with the beatdowns. Vitali's been caught a couple of times by hard punchers & was never on the verge of going down. Didn't Briggs catch him a few times? Please stop the nonsense. Vitali's chin is tried & tested from his kickboxing daYs..when he had to defend his chin against kicks & punches......The part where you lied is when you said V.Klitschko "wasn't phazed" by Lewis' hardest shots when in fact he was on the brink of getting knocked out, so you were wrong on that.

You can state it all you want Princess but....that only happens after an unintentional foul causes a fight to stop immediately.Comment

Please ignore the gruesome injuries on Vitali's face and look at what he's DOING : He is clinging for dear life. The young,fit, contender hanging on to an old man.....not hurt?....

Vitali was lucky his head didn't snap off with that huge uppercut in the 6th round. Luckily he was saved from further damage in the 7th..Comment

I judge this by looking at Vitali's absolute rubber legs and hanging on for dear life after that famous uppercut. That is the only reason he stayed up, he grabbed Lewis like I've never seen a hurt fighter grab another. That was a great move because most likely he would have gone down.You talk about Vitali being hurt more than Lewis because of the visible cosmetic differences in there appearance (amateurish indeed) Lewis was bounced around like a ping pong ball all night long & was practically out on his feet for 2 minutes of rd 2.

If you notice between Lewis and V.klitschko when they were hurt, Lewis wasn't able to clinch, Klitschko did. Yet it's still obvious that the one that was on "***** street" was V.Klitschko.
lol I'm sorry but did you know that Vitali was knocked out cold in a kickboxing match against Pele? You shouldn't have brought this up. I almost feel bad bringing it up.Vitali's chin is tried & tested from his kickboxing daYs..when he had to defend his chin against kicks & punchesComment
