Lewis had a great career, his fight with Vitali is simply the end of it, a guy who did as much as Lewis has the right to hang up his gloves, after beating Vitali once and not be called a coward. [yt]oT7-KU3sjkM[/yt] [yt]-OQrgv5MemE[/yt] [yt]uHzFd7MOuYU[/yt]
You really need to find a different sport to watch cause you certainly don't know or understand boxing.
Lewis was more out of gas than Vitali. They were both landing hard shots. I think Lennox would've folded from one in about the 9th.
Lewis was battering vitali at the end he hit him with a number of huge uppercuts and would have finished him if the fight wasn't stopped becuase of the cut.
I give both men credit blah blah. Here is an option that wasn't on there that should have been. If the fight continued, the referee should have been fired. Seriously, world title fight or not, I have never seen a cut that bad before. I can't imagine what would have had to have happened for that fight to be stopped if they had let it continue. If Vitali had never been cut, I think he would have won by knockout. But the real question is, "should the fight have been stopped?" And the answer is absolutely yes. With that in mind, Lewis TKOd Vitali on cuts. Sometimes, fights are decided by cuts. Is it a shame that this fight was? Yes. Does that mean the fight should have gone on? No.
The question was asked if Vitali would have beaten Lewis, ....well, this poll is a pretty good indication of what folks think. :deal
