That's how often Vitali Klitschko has been behind on the scorecards throughout all his entire professional career - each time it was the initial round only too (Hide, Sanders and Gomez). From that round onward - plain domination for the remaining 162 rounds or 98.2% of his total rounds boxed. :yikes
Yeah he's definetly dominant, although I can't get on the bandwagon cause I'd say he has a couple fights left in him at best.
Nah he was behind after one round against Herbie Hide as well. And, as Herbie then was stopped after suffering an injury in the very next round that means, according to VitRules, that Herbie officially won the event.
you sure are sour.... it's at least arguable that he could have come out on top. and he would have massacred byrd.
Vitali is one of the hardest fighters to beat and look good against. His only 2 losses were due to injury really. Although I had Lewis winning 1 or 2 rounds of their fight in 2003.
the only points that carry weight here are that vitali is a capable boxer who most oftn uses his advantages, brute strength, awkwardness, reach to offset his opponents game plans and is also consistently potentially derailed by injuries in every camp and every fight. how is any of this a revelation? whichever side of the debate about his quality or watchability as a fighter you come out on, that much is clear and well supported by historical fact.
Finally somebody who watched Vitali-Lewis closely enough not to be swayed by Lampley dick-sucking comments. I had Lewis up 4-2 as well. 1 round could be argued even which case, it would still be 3-2-1 for Lewis.
You can't convince me that Vitali won every round against Lewis prior to the stoppage. At worst, Lewis won 2 rounds, quite possibly more.
I had it 3-3, but what was telling was that Lewis had started to control the fight. My guess is that he would have had vitali out if there in the next 2 rounds
