Look man. I'm a bigger fan of Lewis than Vitali. Probably a bigger fan of Lewis than most of these Klitschko haters who are disguising themselves as Lewis fans. But these damn hate threads have pushed me into the Klitschkos' corner. Its kind of like politics. Every time the conservatives get control of Congress, they push me toward the center. When liberals take over, they push me farther right than I was before. Make sense?

As to your post, you better believe that life-long friendships were ended in barbershops over these same kinds of discussions back in the day:yep

Makes good sense. Some guys do go a little bit to far.

About the barbershops: True, but imagine the number of threads there would be floating around and be picked up on. :yep

Staying at the topics of barbershops:

all people do is post vitalis bloodied face,its pathetic!!

everytime lewis put Vitali under pressure even tough he looked pretty exhausted, he seemed to be able to rally whenever Lewis tried to dictate the fight, summoning reserves of will and energy that Lewis was struggling to match.

Lewis, being outworked, landed an absolutely booming uppercut, which could be heard over the roar of the crown, many of whom jumped from their seats, in anticipation of a knockdown. However, Vitali, though clearly hurt, refused to capitulate, and held on grimly as Lewis just missed with another, then landed another of lesser magnitude.

Lewis literally threw himself backward onto his stool, looking an almost spent fighter, it seemed poised for a 7th round of enormous significance, and then, suddenly, it was over, as the doctor ruled Vitali unfit to continue. There was some confusion for a time as to whom the winner was, the referee had held Lewis' arm up, but there appeared to be some debate as to whether the initial cut, which had ultimately resulted in the stoppage were caused by a butt, or a punch.

Had the cut been ruled the result of a butt, the fight would have gone to the scorecards, and Vitali, who was two points ahead on all 3 cards, would have been the new lineal heavyweight champion of the world. As it was, it was deemed to have been the result of a punch, and Lewis retained his title.

To clear up any possible controversy, it was to my mind a perfectly reasonable and necessary stoppage because it could have interfered with his career and vitali went onto become a great champion,a fighter who has never been down on the cards and never been floored.

it was a great fight,and one not to be ridiculed.

show some respect you clown. p.s its 'environment'
