    Jazzo is a master at employing irony and sarcasm to make a point.

    wow, Lennox-Lovers sure enjoy bashing Vitali.

    maybe we need a pic of OJ running from the cops when talking about the Vitali-Lennox rematch negotiations.

    "So like Vitali's fight against Lewis - Did Briggs win the event?"


    In Vitali's fight against Lewis, Vitali actually put up a fight.

    According to Vitali fans, the more facially damaged fighter wins the event. So yes, it does mean that.

    Klitschko won the fight, Briggs won the event. End of.

    Except Briggs wasn't ahead on the scorecards at the end.

    Lennox-lover? :lol:
    You must be mistaking me for somebody else.

    No rematch was needed, Lewis damn near killed Vitali in the ring that night.

    The scorecards were bias bull**** anyway.
    I gave Vitali the first 2 rounds, but once the old, rusty, flabby Lewis was warmed up, he preceded to beat the living **** out of Vitali & turn his grill into a bloody hamburger. :yep

    That's funny :lol: So basically not only were the judges biased, but the vast majority of those who watched the fight live.

    The majority had it 4-2 in favor of Vitali.

    Angelo Dundee said that Vitali was cheated out of the WBC title that night. Vitali would have knocked Lewis out in the very next round. Lewis had a very badly broken nose, yet Lewis' fans do not like to talk about that. Lewis was finished and could not have gone on. Ask Max, he was right behind Lewis' corner. Lewis' promoter signaled Lewis' doctor to signal the Lewis ref to stop the fight without looking at the cut. Should have been warned, allowed the fight to, at least go one more round and that's all Vitali needed. Vitali staggered Lewis more that once, Lewis could no stagger Vitali at all. The cut was a cut. Lewis was rubbing his head into the cut, etc. The Klitschkos haters have "sour grapes" and it shows. Vitali if fantastic and they do not like it. Vitali should have boxed Lewis, set him up, but he was so excited about fighting Lewis that he wanted to go mano a mano, instead of using his skills. So, get Lewis back into a ring? How? Lewis knows the truth. Lewis turned down $40,000,000 for rematch. Why was that? Come on Lewis, come out of retirement.
