Comments Thread For: Joshua May Get Advice From Vitali Klitschko For Title Bout

[Sledgeweather17]

A bum compared to Lewis??? Lewis was in la la land when he was knocked the F out against both Rahman and McCall let me know when Vitali was knocked out....il wait. And why no rematch?

And then Lewis went and avenged those losses in spectacular fashion, so what's your point?

They both took it with 11 days notice dumb ass. Both of em had different fights scheduled and both their opponents cancelled. Stop pretending that Lewis had any kind of advantage because of scheduling, he didn't, both had the same amount of time to prepare.

The cut was caused by a punch, not a headbutt, if it were caused by a headbutt or elbow or some other nonsense, then it wouldn't have been ruled a TKO, the judges would have went to the scorecards.

Lenox targeted the cut eye and ****** it until it caved in. That takes a tremendous amount of skill. Provodnikov was in the same situation against Algieri but couldn't finish the job on the eye, instead he kept winging shots and missing it completely (he was clearly targeting the eye all fight long and kept missing badley). Lewis didn't have the same problem, he sniped that eye to death.

Vitali was beaten by skill, plain and simple. An old, washed up, and unfit Lewis beat him. He aint nothing but a bum compared to Lewis, and no amount of hate gonna change that.

Truth.

People act like the cut just appeared. Lewis caved his face in.

And anyway, i don't know why people are so bothered about that. There's really no shame in losing to Lennox Lewis, even an out of shape Lewis. He's one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Vitali put up a good fight but Lewis started taking over and essentially stopped him via cuts. It is what it is.

Vitali quit against Byrd because he was getting beaten up at times and he didn't like it. Used his shoulder as an excuse when he could have finished the fight.

Also, Lewis stopped Vitali, caved his face in. That eye damage was caused by punches.

He had a rotar cuff tear. Essentially stops all use in the arm.

no it doesn't it's just very painful to use. vitali didn't like the pain so he quit. no shame in that.

Well Manny said he had that injury and he was throwing shots, he never even looked like he had that injury.

If Manny really was injured, then Vitali quit because he didn't like the pain and wasn't in control of that fight at any point anyway.
