Eh...I think VK had some success in rounds 4 and 5; and he certainly won at least one of those rounds. Lewis then swung the momentum back in his direction again in the sixth, enjoying by far his best round of the fight in the process. VK's attempt to right the ship wasn't as dramatic as LL's rallies, but he still was very much in the fight after five. If we go to round seven, it's likely that he would have attempted to make at least one more stand at any rate, because there's nothing to suggest that the punishment that Vitali sustained in the sixth would cause the already-established dynamic of the fight to deviate in any way. Without the cut, I think it was just going to come down to how many times Vitali would be able to come back from those rallies, and how many rounds he could put in the bank, before control of the fight slipped away... With the cut, it was going to be a matter of time, since both fighters seemed incapable of delivering the final blow needed to put the other way away for good.
He always goes on about Lewis saying "fight Johnson, I'll fight the winner" Like literally he's never shut up about it in 13 years But vitali and boente said to Haye "fight Chisora, I'll fight the winner" They didn't think Haye would call their bluff and they certainly didn't think he'd blast Chisora out the way he did
keep making stuff up britard :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl BTW Vitali vs Kirk was a eliminator for a mando unlike half legal Haye Chisora
Explain when thumbing caused the cut. Give me the exact second in the exact round that the exact strike(es) thrown resulted in a cut from an incident of "thumbing" obvious enough to deem a foul (whether accidental or flagrant, whatever) and not a legal blow. Go.
oh dang, 'T.K.O. in 6' isn't about Wladimir-Mercer, Wlad-Brewster 2, Wladimir-Thompson 2, or Lennox-Morrison or even Lewis' two T.K.O. 6's in 1990. It's not even about Mayweather-Gatti, Mosley-Vargas 2, Vazquez-Marquez 2, Kirkland-Julio, Kirkland-Angulo, Maidana-Ortiz, Canelo-Gomez, Peter-Maskaev, or even Golota-McBride, etc, etc, etc ... and plenty more.. It had to be about Lennox-Vitali ... the fight where people saw this heartless Vitali guy 'possibly' on the verge of upsetting The Man, but lost on super bloody cuts. Lewis' last fight. Certainly, if there wasn't more to the fight than just the result, it wouldn't be an ongoing debate through the following 9 years and onward. ..Yet the title of this thread is 'T.K.O 6' ... ... Kind of ironic because the debate itself says that the title is irrelevant. So it probably would've been better to call the thread "Lewis-Klitschko rematch unnecessary" ...although this debate would've been less likely to carry on if the rematch actually happened. Oh well, carry on...
Lmao!! The thumb is below the eye. This clearly shows Lewis' knuckles landing in the afflicted area. Way to go genius!!!:rofl
