Lewis avenged TKO2, that's why no-one talks about it. And before you start the 'Lewis ducked a rematch' thread, TKO6 thread is that way ^^^
Pointing out the fact that Lewis was stopped doesn't change the fact that Vitali was. It just makes Vitali look worse since he was stopped by someone who was stopped, but couldn't stop him himself and instead got half his face ripped open. While being the 'best' heavyweight... :yep
with 1 eye and 1 arm he lost a total of 3 out of 15 rounds against them. Byrd is also not vitali's 2nd best opponent.
If by "Doctor stoppage" you mean, get you face so beat up that you look like you were mauled by an angry bear, then yes
But yes the TKO 2 was shameful. Getting beaten by a crackhead is the lowest of the low. ....Oh wait no,it isnt! Getting your face beat to a bloody pulp by a guy who got beaten by a crackhead is much lower!
Lewis fans don't try make TKO2 out to be a victory because he was winning the fight before he got stopped.
Hmmm, if getting TKod by a crackhead is bad what do you say about a guy who got stopped by a guy who was Kod by a crackhead? surely that is even more embarassing?
