Lewis-Klitschko took place in the USA, and it was a hell of an event.
I am all for a Kiev fight or at Wembley, but if David Haye wants a neutral venue Las Vegas would be a damn good place to have it.
Eventful was the fight. The build up and the actual hype was horrible.
Lennox Lewis was known as the inactive soon to be 38 year old champion that knocked out Tyson, talked with a weird British Accent, speaks about himself in the third person and someone who likes tea.
Vitali was known as 'a big Russian'. Nobody knew or talked about that fight. The only reason it even sold 8,000 tickets was because in 2003 boxing was still semi relevant in the United States and the HW Division was still the 2nd most important Division (at that time it was no longer 1st, that would be Oscar's Division)
The fight was action packed, but it didn't attract anywhere near the attention Lewis-Tyson Lewis-Holyfield or Lewis-Golota did.
Name ONE boxer who has ever been robbed in Ukraine.
How many big fights have been held in the Ukraine. It's obvious that Klitschko will get every close round awarded to him in the Ukraine that's just how boxing is when a fighter fights in their backyard.
