There is absolutely no doubt in my mind Lewis would have gottem KO'd in the 7th

No, but I do own a nice condo in Florida. :good

But you're right, time for a break.

 

In your opinion he is.

In everybody else's he isn't.

Dirty shots :rofl:rofl

Better record :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

This is getting better.:rofl

 

no facts here :verysad

 

You could say that Mercer deserved a rematch as well, what about Grant, if you think Lewis cheated against Vitali try watching that fight. And he didn't con anything, the doctor stopped the fight and oh ya..Vitali lost..

The judges didn't say Vitali was the better man, the judges turned in their meaningless cards once the official decision was rendered. And those meaningless cards, showed that Lewis had won the 6th round on all the cards..so if you want the meaningless cards to have meaning, then the meaning was Lewis was clearly taking over the match..

You do watch boxing don't you?

Cause the cards don't mean a damn thing if the fight ends before the scheduled number of rounds. you do know that don't you??

 

I watched the fight with Klitschko vision glasses and also had no doubt that Vitali would have won.

When I took them off though, I saw that Vitali was done. He couldn't even get up off the stool for a long time. Lewis was up long before him.

But don't take my word for it, see for yourself. Watch starting at the 4th minute of this video. At the end of the round, Vitali holds on for dear life and gets hit with another uppercut and hook to finish the round. Lewis still had more in him, but Vitali was done.

Wrong

From WBC Rules:
13. Accidental Injuries from Head Butts, Elbows, or other Accidental or Illegal
Actions (injury). The following description applies to injuries from not only
head butts and elbows, but from any other accidental or illegal action as
well.
a) Unintentional/accidental injury. When a boxer suffers a cut,
abrasion, or excessive swelling due to an unintentional/accidental
head butt, elbow, etc.
If the bout cannot continue:
• There will not be a point deduction.
• Technical draw if before the start of the 5th round.
• Technical decision, as per the scorecards, if after the start of 5th round.

If the bout continues:
• A point will be deducted from the uninjured boxer. This point deduction will compensate the advantages acquired by the uninjured boxer. The referee will have the option to consult with the WBC supervisor to waive the point deduction if the cut is on the hairline upwards.
If both boxers are injured, there will not be a point deduction.

 If there is an accidental injury and the bout continues and is later
stopped after the start of the fifth round due to enlargement of the
same cut by legal punch, it will be a technical decision as per the
scorecards.

 If there is an injury caused by a legal punch and the bout can
continue, and is later stopped after the start of the fifth round due
to an accidental injury, it will be a technical decision as per the
scorecards.

 All rounds will be scored even if it is partial round.

14. Intentional Injury. When a boxer suffers a cut, abrasion, or excessive
swelling due to an intentional head butt, elbow, etc.
If the bout cannot continue:
• The offending boxer will lose by disqualification.

If the bout continues:
• Two (2) points will be deducted from the offending boxer.
 If the offending boxer is injured by his own action he will still be
deducted 2 points.

If the bout continues, but must later be stopped due to the same
injury, it will be a technical decision as per the scorecards. This rule
applies even if the injury’s severity is increased by legal punches
after the initial injury, in the sole discretion of the referee.

POSSIBLE RESULTS

I'm not sure what your point is because Lewis won the fight..and in this particular case the cards were rendered meaningless want to know why, because nothing illegal occurred regarding the punch that caused the cut..very simple answer.

Don't believe me..check with the WBC and ask them who won the fight..cause you seem confused.

 

No

 

The accepted rule is that one must be over 42 before the term OLD can be employed. (Hopkins, Moore, Foreman etc)


As to the thread, a more competent referee would have stopped this fiasco at the end of the third in favour of Klitschko.

Only serious negligence and complete disregard for Lennox's health allowed the fight to continue.

At least this travesty was set right by those who monitor the EVENT, and not merely the boxrec spin.

 

Lewis TKO6 Vitali

 

This:

 

I like your avatar, but I actually thought the stoppage saved Vitali from being knocked out. Lennox was starting to land his right hand, and that right hand would have stopped Vitali in 2 more rounds. I thought how lucky for Vitali the cut saved him from being stopped. Lennox had experience and was coming on.

 

ah, but we'll never really know, and that's the beauty of this neverending debate. :hat

 

These ppl are unreal, get over it, he lost fair and square and if they would had fought again LL would had ko him, again, LL hart wasn't there any longer and retired, move on ppl.
