    I know from watching the film. I have seen it multiple times. I watched the fight in slow motion and I listened carefully to Klitschko's remarks in his corner and after the fight.

    I'm not trying to defend Vitali...I agree that it's bad that he quit (just compare him to other fighters who have persisted in spite of injuries). But even so, it's important to get the truth out: Klitschko did indeed suffer a painful and incapacitating freak injury that night.

    I don't doubt it. Rahman can definitely crack with his right hand. Many fans have always overlooked his power.

    We all know you're a desperate Shitali apologist, but I thought someone of your quality was above playing the race card.

    Guess not. :?

    Rahman has heavy hands.

    He just doesn't have the explosiveness and skill level to always use it well. With the exception of the Lewis fight, I think he's more of a guy in the Foreman-realm where each punch hurts because of his heavy hands, than a Tyson/J. Jackson who can end or greatly change the momentum of the fight with 1 punch.
