    A horrible cut. A win is a win as they say so give Lennox his due. All i will say is vitali would have taken it by the end

    Damn Vitali looks like a gimp in your avatar. You can find one of him looking more imposing.

    You're talking to the man that once said Lewis made the cuts worse with his "illegal dreadlocks and beard", I wouldn't expect anything but bias from him. :lol:

    I love how people completely ignore the fact that it was Lewis getting the best of Vitali when the fight was stopped, too.

    I'm a huge Lewis fan, but Good Lord, how many of his KO's were a result of holding the head with one hand and firing with the other?

    Just saying.

    I love the fight and the fighters involved............... Lewis won......... He was lucky but he won.......... "Lewis-Klit" is a modern 21st century classic heavyweight title fight....... It is secured deep in the book........... But we've also beaten the topic into the ground like a dead horse off the side of the road.......... Let's move onward..........

    Its a fight that will go down in history

    Lewis won Vit was in front and i think Vit would have won the fight.

    The cuts are from punches and made worse due to the headbuts.

    overall was a great fight that is worth watching again and again

    I love this fight and have watched it loads of times. On the cuts, you can always find some sort of doubt but theres a clear punch to the eye, and a possible soft headbut and possibly maybe a glove scratch. Youve got to believe the punch did the real damage.

    I also though that Lewis was not looking much worse in the 6th than he was in the 1st whereas Vitalis power seemed to have gone.

    By the way, Vitali took this fight on less than 2 weeks notice. Had Vitali known it was Lewis, he would have had a much better camp. As it was Lewis was training to go 12 vs. Kirk Johnson.

    Lewis said he would give a re-match. He had a $18,000,000.00 pay day lined up. He balked, because deep down he knew he would not be lucky the second time around, so he retired before he could be stripped of his belt. Lewis ducked the re-match worse than Bowe ducked Lewis.

    Also, Lewis was dead tired after the 6th. He crashed hard on his stool. We all know how much energy Vitali had left when he learned the fight was stopped. While the cut was bad, I wish we saw a 7th round.
