Originally posted by BattlingNelson View PostHe did, but not enough to win the fight on the cards. It might have been different had Vitali had time to prepare for Lewis and not for an undercard fight though.
At the pace they were fighting, neither man was really concerned about how it was being scored on the scorecards. Lewis landed some good punches at the end but looked tired while Vitali was cut up badly and holding on. I'm not so certain about how the fight would have went had it been allowed to continue.Last edited by TheGreatA; 09-10-2011, 06:15 PM.

Originally posted by TheGreatA View PostYou can say that about both men. But then again, Vitali said he had prepared to fight Lewis his whole life and we know he stays in shape. We can't say the same about Lewis, who was training to face a unthreatening slob in Kirk Johnson.

We can't say the same about Lewis, who was training to face an unthreatening slob in Kirk Johnson and came in at 256 lbs, even heavier than when he showed up to get knocked out against Rahman.

Originally posted by TheGreatA View PostI was not giving him a pass, instead responding to the opinion that Vitali may have been affected because of taking the fight on short notice. That goes for both.
