    :patsch He will not be able to repeat this scenario ten out of ten times :hi: What are the odds that he can cut up Vitali again, and win by cuts and doctor stoppages, DESPITE being outboxed :think I am simply arguing that it is IMPOSSIBLE for this to happen again and again, seeing as it is a scenario that in itself is very rare. The people who do the cutting and have the doctor stop the fight in their favor, are the ones that outbox their opponents, this was different, the person outboxing his opponent was cut and the doctor stopped it.

    Nope, my statistics are spot on. It is extremely rare for the person outboxing their opponent, to be cut and lose due to the doctor stopping the fight.

    so having been told vitali is below the level of eurobum jean chanet, are you now trying to argue that vitali is perhaps slightly above the level of eurobum jean chanet?

    tough call, give me more proof, kliturd.

    i don't think this guy has even watched the fight, maybe once when it happened, but i watched it today and this nonsense bears no resemblance to what actually happened.

    the cut occurred in round 2, at which point it was 1 round apiece. Neither fighter could be considered to be ahead after 2 rounds, as with most fights. There is NOTHING "likely" at all in what point you made, you simply lied.
    another kliturd lie exposed.



    furthermore, at the point of stoppage, ali was well ahead - another kliturd myth destroyed.

    Something that seems to be overlooked here is that Vitali was cut in round three. Now normally when a fighter is cut he fights to protect that cut but Vitali was getting hit more and more as the fight progressed.
    He did a terrible job of protecting his cut and actually made it worse by continuing in that mauling, brawling manner that the fight had become.

    Fighters get cut but they can also adjust and protect the cut well enough that the corner can actually do something about it. Vitali really failed himself there.

    4-2 is hardly given anyone a boxing lesson. Had Lewis won the first round for example it would be 3-3, and certainly some did score it 3-3 prior to the stoppage. (I had it 4-2 Vitali, but really the score was meaningless and was always going to be meaningless, given the type of fight it was.)

    No. Lewis can't take those types of punches for a full 12 rounds.

    Vitali can.

    It is a much better question. It's funny though, it would be far from an easy task for Lewis to get past a 37 year old Vitali, even in his prime. As much as I hate to phrase it this we, it was probably the first time we have seen two great modern super heavyweights and both looked very sloppy at times, Lewis was likely out of shape and didn't exactly bring out the best in Vitali because of this. I think it would always be a competitive fight, and we would see some intriguing results if we matched younger and older versions against each other.

    Yes, 60+ stitches certainly proves that!!!!!!!
