Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis THE TRUTH Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice. Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial bull**** doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round and almost got KO'd, he was out on his feet, badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight, he was battered from pillar to post, outslugged, outgunned, outmuscled, outskilled, outboxed, outlanded in every round, dominated and outclassed by Vitali. Punches Landed Vitali 156 Lewis 102 Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued. Vitali got robbed. The corrupt doctor and ref were on Lennox's payroll. It should've been a TD6 win for Vitali. Official Scorecards Pat Russell: Vitali 58-56 James Jen-Kin: Vitali 58-56 Tom Kaczmarek: Vitali 58-56 Sky Sports: Vitali 58-56 HBO: Vitali 58-56 Lennox's mom: Vitali 58-56 After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a *****. The whole crowd cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis out of the arena. Lewis promised Vitali a rematch. Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The gutless coward Lewis retired shortly after that fight. Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali. Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch. Lewis is scared to death of Vitali. George Foreman: "Lewis got lucky, Vitali was winning the fight, there has to be a rematch!" Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight" Larry Merchant: "Lennox, why do you think the fans were cheering Vitali and booing you in the end? Because maybe they were surprised that Vitali fought better than you?" Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement. This content is protected
Vitali wasn't even in his prime yet. Lewis was still in his prime at 37. He was coming of the win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis said "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age" Before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years" Vitali whooped his ass, dominated him and scared him into retirement. Both Klitschkos have surpassed Lewis.
I actually did forget that one, he blatently just ducked everyone! No wait sorry I some how got sucked into planet klit. Phew that was close. sTop crying Klit lOvers its been over 6 years now nd your still moaning!
The Klitschko's aren't one person. Lewis blatantly ducked the by far better of the brothers when he (lewis) was in his prime years, not to mention he struggled big time with the **** one.
I didn't even like Lewis, and I don't think he was in his prime. He was 37. I think the Vitali fight was his last dance. Also, that cut was SO ****ING AWFUL. Had it gotten any worse I don't think Vitali would have been able to continue anyway. You Klit lovers are something else.
