    Why's that? One of fighter looked like he was hit by a truck after the fight, and it wasn't Lewis. When it comes to boxing I don't believe in luck, I believe in results, and Lewis got the result the first time and very well could have don't so again. Only a very slim % thought there was anything wrong with the first win, and most know that Lewis does excellent in rematches. That said it would be about a 50-50% fight.

    You say when it comes to boxing you don't believe in luck, but there is no doubt luck in boxing as there is in everything. No boxer has total control over reality and when they don't the dice are rolling. If there were no luck in boxing every time the more skilled boxer would win, but it don't always work out that way. Thats why there are rematches and rubber matches. Lewis would have lost the rematch and if he was man enough he would have lost the rubber match. Lewis had a horse shoe up his a**.

    Klit fans think so.

    Anyone with half a brain and good vision can see the tide had turned, Lewis was walking him down, hurting him, had him stumbling across the ring with a right hand at the end of rd 6, staggring and holding on and receiving another uppercut just before the bell.

    Vitali then walked to wrong corner almost looking knackered.

    Vitali DID NOT protest the decision until HE WAS PROMPTED to do so when sitting in his corner, ONLY THEN did he start the complaints and shouts of "NO"

    fake fake fake fake

    Lewis TKO 6.

    Lewis got a gift in the first fight. He knew it and he had no confidence about the rematch. Lewis was a businessman. If he thought he had a chance in the rematch - the rematch would have happened. Lewis tried to avoid Vitali but when the fight became inevitable Lewis retired.
