    Its like a hollywood summer blockbuster and an art house movie simultaneously.

    One is for the audience who just don't want to study and appreciate the artform, the other one (Gatti Ward ) is for those who just want entertainment.

    I'd like a balance of both

      1- Lewis was old as **** and semi retired. He was clearly out of shape and had horrible conditioning.
      Agreed on 1.

      2- They are both 2 super heavyweights, they have to clinch a lot more compare to a former CW like Holyfield fighting Bowe.

      Disagree. They don't have to, they choose to, don't know how to fight on the inside or are out of shape.


      and

      3- Vitali was dying in there. Not the 'Oh I'm tired,' dying. But 'Oh ****, if the fight go on, I might have my life ended in the ring' dying. The two upper cuts Lennox landed had Vitali clinging on Lewis like a mega slut cling to free ****s.

      So not a good example because different circumstances. I don't see 2 gaping vaginas on Rid**** Bowe's face, so of course he could throw a lot more punches. He wasn't going blind.
      He wasn't dying and wanted to continue. Come on now, thats just a silly excuse. And Im not even saying I found the second Bowe-Holy fight more exciting overall, just proving a point that they were throwing more punches in the 12th round than Lennox and Vitaly were in the 6th, whits Vits and Lennox looked to clinch more. I don't even see how that can be argued as I've provided the evidence.

            I told you things were boring most of the time and it was true to ME. Apart form the first fight the other two had some moments but nothing like the first.
            My man, you're going in all different directions. Why not just comment on the vids I posted and your claims fighters back then were exhausted by the 5th? I'll let you off the hook for the Hearns/Norris comments, but stay on track!

                I did comment. They were tired by midfight. Both Holyfield and Bowe.

                    Lol, lets put this nonsense to bed right now. In round 7 they were throwing plenty of punches and looked fresh until the "fan man" incident. After that they needed to warm back up and build momentum again. Anyone who has fought will tell you a break in the action like that takes away from the momentum you've built up.. What are your comments on why Vitaly and Lewis were so exhausted? You haven't made a peep about that and the COMPARISON of the final rounds of those two fights.
