true. letting yourself get knocked out means you can fight again and keep earning money in a boxing career. letting yourself get your eye torn out means you cant box ever again. its marvellous when the OP argues with himself.
Look, I appreciate you're a massive fan of the brothers. Just this one time, please try and be objective. Those cuts were not caused by luck, they were caused because Vitali was not defending himself properly. Vitali carries his hands low and shoots from the hips, he carries his left hand especially low, often at the waist and below it. This works great against smaller opponents, the likes of Adamek, Chisora and Arreola. However, against a 6ft 5 highly skilled HW like Lennox Lewis, he will always get caught by those big overhand rights Lennox throws. Those are what caused those horrible cuts, it wasn't bad luck. He also has no inside game, even you can admit that, and that's why he got hit with some brutal uppercuts. If Lennox was prime, showing up at 247 pounds and in great shape, he will beat Vitali the majority of times, of course Vitali still has a punchers chance (Mccall and Rahman). Vitali got Lennox at the right time, he was unmotivated, and out of shape, don't show me any quotes, he looked overweight and really uncoordinated. Vitali had his chance, and did great in the first two rounds, however he didn't have the power to stop Lennox. Then, Lennox proceeded to walk him down, and expose those flaws I mentioned, at times Lennox was walking right through Vitali's shots. Vitali proved his chin and toughness by riding it out, however Lennox always has his number. The stoppage was legit because Vitali was sustaining horrible punishment, Lennox is a much bigger puncher, and caused 3-4 horrific cuts, it wasn't just one cut from a lucky shot, there's 3-4 cuts there. Punch stat numbers are very important... in amateur boxing, however in a professional fight as you know it's different. I know this post won't make a difference, however fans of Vitali and the brothers need to stop mentioning this fight, and find other ways to celebrate Vitali's legacy, which is being dominant, and arguably the best HW since Lewis retired.
Congratulations! You have tied the ESB record for exposing yourself as a dunce in the fewest posts: 1 A boxer has never been ahead on points before getting stopped.
Tko6 I dont think Klithoes realise that if the fight went on any longer , old man shot to **** lewis would have ripped of young and prime vitalis face Another victory for one of the greatest heavyweights of all time Lennox Lewis
Can we now make this thread a sticky so everyone but bitter Klitschko fans can get on with their lives???????????
Beats having 50 new threads on the same topic every week. This way, as a sticky.. we don't see it as a new thread, and then feel the need to click it... Those who wanna discuss (talk nonsense) about it, can do so. The rest of us can ignore it
friends this is a popular discussion website is it not okay to discuss such outcomes, I applaud freedom of type & freeship of speech, please have a look at my current Louis & Vitali thread, I think you will find meaning in it - http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=392705
