Upload: Lewis vs Klitschko (British Commentary)

Nice One Addie.

 

cheers matey

 

i like the way lennox holds the microphone lol that always makes me laugh

 

Good upload :good

The fights a Heavyweight classic......but not as good as Foreman-Lyle (although the skill levels are higher)

 

Its funny how two HW fighters that have 'robotic' styles and are considered boring (Lewis did have some GREAT fights but he has had just as many snore fests) are in one of the best HW fights of all time. Great chin and straight shots by Vitali, great right hands landed by Lewis. That Lewis uppercut. My god how Vitali stayed up from that i will never understand, how many HW fighters can take shots like that?

Its a shame there is no competition anywere near the level of Lewis for the Klitschkos, we could have seen some great fights!

 

Love this fight, thanks Addie.

I hated Foremans commentary.

 

Never seen this with the Sky commentary, thanks Addie :good

 

larry merchant is an annoying ****..lewis shuld have chinned him..the guy asks such stupid questions..wee *****..lol look at the state of his face. :yep

 

Vitali is so much crisper with his punching than he is today. Much quicker.

 

He's still hurtful now due to the awkwardness of his delivery and the weight behind his punches.

But he's a nigh on feather fist; he showed some good punching against Lennox, but he's overrated big time in terms of alltime punching power. Not saying you were rating him or nuttin :good

 

I don't think he's in the real category of big heavyweight hitters. People go overboard about his stoppage statistics and records. It means you punch hard obviously but its not the only factor. He actually can throw 800 punches a fight, being 240lbs that is going to tend to result in late stoppages.

 

Exactly.

 

I remember the Five Live commentators, always the sort to make even the dullest jabfest sound like a battle, were making it sound as if Vitali had torn one of Lewis's arms off and was whacking him around the head with it.

When I actually saw the fight, I was a bit disappointed!

I also clearly remember one of the reporters, after a still pumped-up Lewis had a rant on the mic and refused to give Vitali credit, saying "Oh, see this is why people have never really warmed to Lewis."

****.
