Why Vitali, he should ask Lewis instead.

Without that cut, Lewis would have been easily beaten. Vitali took that fight 11 day notice. Even though Lewis was on his way out, he should have given Vitali a rematch.

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.

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?

Yeah Yeah but so did Lennox. Vitali was scheduled to fight Cedric Boswell on the undercard. Vitali was in his usual beast mode training while Lennox had one step into retirement after he got that Tyson payday. Lennox was training for an overweight Kirk Johnson so he didn't exactly light it up in camp. Lennox gave him the shot because I'm sure he figured since Vitali quit against Chris Byrd he would have little difficulties with Vitali. He was wrong but he was able to smash up Vitali's face to get the stoppage. At his best he couldn't beat Lennox at his worst. He owed Vitali nothing as it was a voluntary defence as you said in 11 days & he still got a TKO6...

Vitali is an old man. Joshua could do him serious harm.

Probably because AJ values the opinion of someone who wasn't sparked out by the likes of Hasim Rackman
Vitali is the better fighter it's just unfortunate about his injuries he suffered during fights it's clear he'd beat Lewis without the cut.
