Here this idiot is with something ****** to say again......

Do some research before you speak at the very least. Lennox was 37 and Vitali won rd. 5 on two of the score cards.

Lennox retired to avoid an a55 whuppin from a better prepared Vitali. Make no mistake about it.

Lennox beat the piss out of Vitali despite being out of shape. Go and look at his face afterwards. Vitali had a hard chin but he was eating leather all night and Lennox wasn't even at his best.

Why the hell would he retire to get away from him?

what the ****?

[Redd Foxx]

Goofball fanboys that defend this fight have zero integrity and not an ounce of honesty. I'm all for a tune-up, I think he needs two of them, but this is truly pathetic.

[Removed Now]

The info is on this site somewhere I think. I think he's trying to get a couple of cans in for sure. All he needs is to go the distance a few times and he's good cuz honestly he's a distance fighter. He can get all this done under 18-24 months.

I definitely heard that I just can't seem then risking millions.

as i said before dont comment on social media if you don't know what your waffling on about 3 months away from 38 not 36... lewis had just two weeks notice to face klitchcko when kirk johnson pulled out who was only 6ft tall heavyweight........boxing fights are won on points , KO's , DQ's and yeah you got it gumbo stoppages on cuts amongst other things.
Klitchcko only started complaining when he heard the crowd booing.....go watch the fight again gumbo and get some knowledge

Hey ******..........

Vitali wasn't prepared for Lewis either. Your point is moot. Now Stfu

It's an exhibition, calm down ffs, nobody is forcing you to watch it.

Beat the piss out of him? He was LOSING and landed 50 fewer punches through 6 rds. you pillock!

And you say Lennox didn't retire to avoid Vitali, well that's totally BS because he didn't retire until after the doctors declared Vitali healthy to fight just a few months later and the WBC ordered an immediate rematch for the title!

Get a grip fangirl

Guarantee you that dude was excited to watch his bumboy Andre Fraud fight that 40 year old Super middleweight bum on one of his many comeback fights

[alexjust]

so a win doesnt count if its by cuts then? who caused the cut? if vitali was so good he'd have put the pressure on (having been aware of the cut) and stopped the 40 year old, but he couldnt, and he lost.

It does count under the formal rules of boxing. That is if you hung up on formalities. Substantively, EVERYONE in the arena started cheering when Lewis was asked if he would give Vitali a rematch. He said he would. He didn't.

Let's not do that "if vitalis was so good" nonsense, it can easily come back to haunt you. For example, if Lewis (38 y.o., not 40 at the time) was so good, why couldn't he knock out an inferior fighter with an inch deep cut in his head?

That debate is meaningless, IMO. I rate Lewis very highly, but he definitely met his worthy match in Klitschko and there will never be a definite full stop in their story: who was the better one? Yes, Lewis won, but win does not always mean you are the better one. if that was the case, then Buster Douglas and Ross Purrity would be HOF.

P.S. Faces tell stories. Look at Lewis's bewildered face after the fight. And look at Vitali's (as bloody as it was). If you didn't know the outcome, who would you say had won the fight that night just by judging their after-fight expressions? Vitali was visibly (and vocally) pissed off that they stopped the fight. Lennox looked relieved (not in a good way) and surpirsed no matter what he or anyone else says. Even Manny Steward said that they were in trouble. Because they were. Give credit where credit is due. I don't think Wladimir would have necessarily beaten Lewis, but with Vitali it would have been a 50/50 rematch.

lewis won the fight. he caused the cut, he was giving as good as he got. we never saw vitali lose a fight on cuts again, he lost the fight cause he fought a better fighter.
