"I was getting to him. Look at his face. Just look at the state of his face. It was only a matter of time. It was deteriorating. The referee saved his face." – Lennox Lewis
"I asked Vitali to look at me and, when he lifted his head, his eyelid covered his field of vision. He had to move his head to see me. If he had to move his head to see me, there was no way he could defend himself. If he got hit with an overhand right, he might not be able to see it. It was a dangerous situation." – Dr. Paul Wallace on why he stopped the fight
Great thread I often read it for a laugh it's so funny to read the comments claiming lummox won LooL how deluded
OP just marked 3 times fans experienced high levels of butt hurt. Although not as bad as TKO6 or an event that wiped out of third of Mannys fan base in KO6, 114-113 has provided its fair share of lamentation and sore whining from over dramatic fans who are going to the extreme of calling a close fight a blatant robbery. There's even conspiracy theories that EE are being oppressed by the man in America. This fight has clearly opened some wounds that have never fully healed for a lot of people so rightfully so, 114-113 should be ranked among TKO6 and KO6.
Ziko Merovic done better than Vitali . And he fought a much better Lennox Lewis. Hell , even Tony Tucker's spectre done better than Vitaly
