Vitali Klitschko: Lennox Lewis was too slow, I saw every punch!

DrBanzai · Aug 5, 2012

He should have stopped looking at the punches and looked out for the head but that ended the fight.

Its been 9 years and Klitschko fans have yet to post a a definitive photo of Lennox headbutting or using hair. Yet in this same time frame weve discovered elbows and Kicks thrown by Vitali

If you do a frame by frame of the 7-10 seconds before the cut, you can see Lewis get hit, come in to tie up, leading with his cornrows, scraping the L side of Vitalis face and forehead.
Lewis and Vitali break, but there is swelling beginning due to the butt. Lewis throws a 1-2, missing completely with the R hand, but the thumb portion of the glove(didnt cause cut, probably did not tighten the skin). Lewis lunges in and ties up. HBs Vitali X2, with a full cornrow scrape, then throws and OH R that bursts the swollen skin open. CUT caused by LEGAL punch.

NOW. That particular cut did NOT end the fight. It was above the eye and would be a factor, but it was NOT wide or large enough to cause permanent damage. It was Lewis's continuous targeting of the eye, knowing he'd met his match, that caused the stoppage. He added 2 more clean cuts to Vitali's eye area, and if Klitlickers and tards would review the tape, we'd see Vitali's L side of his mouth was beginning to burst apart too. :tired

It wasn't a lucky stoppage as I once thought as well. It was a masterpiece of boxing and testament to Lewis's greatness. He painted the entire R side of his face and forehead with beautiful power shots. None of that patsy Michaelangelo BS either:nono. Lewis's was painting with a steamroller.

Now. Vitali was in dire straits, knowing the stoppage could be called at any moment. So he too, had to go for it. He pounded Lewis whenever Lewis would accept and exchange. He had built up a 2-1 lead prior to the 4th, and continued winning the 4th and 6th. There were at least 3 times that he had Lewis in such a state that had he just been able to press it a bit more, he may have had the aging great fold. But again, whether it was Lewis's resilience, or Vitali's belief that he would carry on longer than Lewis, the fact is that Lewis showed the entire world that even at 37 vs a 32 year old beast, that he was truly the best in the world during his prior generation, and could handle all the surging new champions could bring.

I think I would have been happier if the ref would have called it a TD, using his discretion, and ABIDING by the unified rules. A TD6 would be no disgrace to Lewis and most would be arguing today that it should be TKO6......BUT.....it would have given the world it's rematch. The fight of the century, may have had it own equal. But b/c of the circumstances, the official ruling, and knowing he likely would have LOST a decision in the rematch( I dont think Vitali would KO Lewis, IMO) Lewis walked away from 40 million bucks and left us, the fans, still spewing TKO6 and CHASED INTO RETIREMENT, rather than just.....DAMN, DID WE JUST WITNESS HISTORY.:shock:

Also, if you slow it down, then play it in rewind, you see aliens come in and use their ray guns to open a cut on Vitalis face. then while the cutman tries to work on the cuts between rounds, goblins keep chewing on the cut to make it worse.

A true travesty of justice I tell you.

You're full of **** Keith.

There was no cut. Vitali just stuck his head up some **** while she was in the middle of her period.

Thats the real truth of the matter.
