    I believe in Vitali

    I just watched the Lennox Lewis/ Vitali fight again on HBO.

    That man stood there, and ate some hard shots. That uppercut almost took his head off and he kept coming. His eye was popping out of his socket basically and he still ****in kept bringing it.

    I have no doubt he would have dropped Lennox had the fight gone on.

    Now, I understand that he as been very unactive untill now, and that can be irratating, but there can't be any question that the man has heart and the skill.

    Lennox Lewis was the ****in king of the HW devision and klit gave him a run for his money.

    Now I understand that Lennox was out of shape for this bout, and properly motivated and willing, Lennox would possibly TKO/desicion Vitali again, but the fact remians I think Vitali deserves some respect and we are gonna find out in this Rahman bout if he has what it takes.

    Right, because beating a guy that John Ruiz already thoroughly out pointed is going to be quite a statement.

      IMHO I don't even think this is gonna be a close match. Vitali is going to kick Rahman's ass bigtime.

      Punchers chance isn't going to come into play, but at least this win will be another step in weeding his way through the **** HW division.

        I do.

        He showed a lot of heart, but his best chance to drop Lewis came in the second round and he couldn't get it done. It was a very close fight, Vitali might even have been able to outpoint Lennox, but I can't see him having knocked him out.

          You are probably right. Getting caught up in the fight and watching it can change an opinion. Now that I think back, he had a lot of opportunites to put Lennox away and it didn't happen.

          I can't take it away from Lennox he took some hard shots too and holy ****, he is the one that opened that gash on V's face.

          As the fight went on, both men would slow down, he might of won a decision, but even so, Lennox has some awesome power and could have pulled off a late KO.

                  Maybe I'm a little biased because Lennox Lewis is my favourite fighter of all time... But had the fight gone on, I think Lewis would have won by KO.

                  I think Vitali was just as exhusted as Lennox, and Vitali looked ready to go.
