Flashback to 2005. Quitali ducks his mandatory challenger Hasim Rahman and gets served with "chicken Kiev" by the former champion: This content is protected September 20, 2005 We all know what happened afterwards. Quitali bitched out of the fight once again and retired. Rahman's 'Chicken Kiev' low blow got the best of Vitali and he chose to retire rather quickly.
That picture is great I can't believe Vitali retired to avoid Rahman only to return and fight Peter in his first fight after 4 years out. Was Rahman ever significantly better than Peter?
This is one of the most disgraceful ducks in HW history. Vitali saw what a motivated Hasim was able to do to Lewis, a guy who Vitali couldn't put a dent in, and decided he didn't want any of it. Just like he didn't want any of it when Byrd stood up to him, or after Haye battered the guy who have him his toughest fight in years. Vitali's career is all smoke and mirrors. A Chinese sweatshop couldn't have manufactured a more fraudulent 'legacy' than Vitali.
I had to look up a recipe for 'Chicken Kiev'. Here's what Rahman served up for Quitali: - one scared belt holder who quit against Lennox Lewis - one hungry challenger who destroyed Lennox Lewis - half a dozen excuses ('Oh my back', 'Oh my knee') and months of disgraceful ducking Mix and stir the above ingredients, smash with a meat pounder, then simmer slowly for 2 hours and you get 'Chicken Kiev': This content is protected
Good Ole Lennox had nightmares about the 1st fight for weeks, he needed to kill his demons. Lennox is my favorite boxer, but when he smiled and then got knocked the **** out, it was a atsch moment. I still firmly believe there were a lot of things we didn't know about for that first Rahman fight, but oh wells he avenged it.
I was worried about what the Rock was going to do after boxing, but now I know he's going to be just fine after he opens his own line of Kiev Chicken Klit restaurants. Sure he'll take some criticism from people who don't know **** about boxing Roger Mayweather not being one of them, but once they taste his special recipe prepared with the fear of a giant Ukrainian they wont give a **** that he calls it Klit rather than Klitschko.
