Very Interesting interview with Lewis before his Klitschko fight...

[Thread Stealer]

Lewis was also self promoted so he is hardly going to tell everyone he isnt in shape before they buy their tickets or to let the opponent know he is underprepared. Even worse is to believe a word Steward says, he talks more crap than don king.

Of course, that's common sense.

What did the loser of the fight say AFTER THE FIGHT?

That Lewis was not in good shape.

Who cares if Vitali said that?? He was schooling Lewis so bad with 1 EYE it appeared that Lewis was out of shape. You need to get over that fight, Lewis may have won the fight on paper, but Vitali won the event and the crowd.

I'm not arguing again about what happened during the fight. We all know what happened. ****ali lost, like he always did when he faced a top 10 heavyweight contender/champ who wasn't fat, old, or both.

However, this thread is about the condition Lewis was in.

The man who was in the ring with Lewis, a guy got banned from the Olympics for juicing, had the honesty to admit that Lewis was not in good shape. Judging by his past, you would think he would lack integrity and honesty and try to save face, but he didn't. He admitted that Lewis was in poor shape.

Why can't his fanboys do the same?

Does it bother them that much that Quitali's "legacy" performance was losing to an out of shape pillow biter who didn't fight for over a year?

So what if LL claims to be in shape before the fight? He still beat Quitcko's ass in the fight...Am glad he didnt give the quitter a rematch after the Way he shamelessly ducked the average Rahman 4 different times

Thread Stealer has some nerve acting like some unbiased dude who just happened to stumble across this post. Let's just call him by his real name: Levi Billups, who Vitali knocked ... out ... COLD in the FIRST ROUND of their boxing "match." Since that day, "Thread Stealer" (who goes by other names on other forums and has been banned from just about all of them) has made it his mission to post countless inane topics and polls that disparage Vitali and/or Wladimir. Levi, get your worthless ass out of these forums and seek psychological help -- you need to get over the fact that you lost a fight to a superior fighter. Try being proud of that instead of making it your life's mission to rip on the man. It's called being a man, an adult, accepting life and moving on.

nice essay, however this topic is about lewis's conditioning (or lack of) when he beat the elder, inferior klitschko.

did the defeated klitschko not admit afterwards that lewis (almost 38 and coming off the longest layoff his career) was not in good condition?

thank you.

lol,,,,the volcano is slowly erupting again. I can see it coming. youre beginning to hyperventilate as you type

[Roger Yomama]

LOL Thats funny because it looked like Vitali gave Lewis the biggest beating of his life. Afterall that was the reason he was leadin on the cards right?

Vitali may have been leading on the scorecards but which man needed plastic surgery after the fight to repair his face? It wasn't Lennox.

Lewis may have won the fight on paper, but Vitali won the event and the crowd.

No klitschko has ever won a crowd.


I dont know why people cant get over this fight. Vitali started strong, then faded, got severely cut and stopped whilst on the wrong side of a beating. Its done. get over it.

Very interesting interview in the opening post.
