Oh right right..
I of course forgot about the fact that Lennox landed more power punches in he 6th and final round, and landed 2 destroying shots at the end of the 5th.
Vitali landed more jabs and power shots in rounds 1,2,4 and 5 - not all 6 as you claim - and therefore it would be fair to have it at 4 rounds to 2. Now, let's not forget that Lennox landed the better shots towards the end of the fight - including a memorable uppercut. He clearly won round 6 as both men were tired.
However, Lewis was probably more tired, yet it doesn't take away from the fact that he busted Vitali's face up like never before or after - with shots not headbutts. Lennox on the other hand, for all the "dominance" or "punishment" Vitali gave him, looked like an oilpainting.

In Tokyo, Mike Tyson was ahead on one of the judge's scorecards and tied on another scorecard. He never really lost until he faced Holyfield. This new style of scoring changes boxing history. The ramifications are staggering.
