Gotta like Bremen's devotion to the cause! Check in to the topic every now and then and without fail he is still crying a river over TKO 6 every second page. He will look up one day and see a couple of decades of his life have passed on this topic.
Fight is almost 10 years old now and Klittards still butthurt and sad that Vitali failed miserably in the most important fight of his life
He was a bit overweight and a bit undermotivated, yeah, This is a pattern with a couple of Lennox's previous opponents, whom he struggled against/lost. Vitali wasn't his original opponent (bit then Lennox wasn't Vitali's original opponent either). I wouldn't say he was fat though. Not compared with today's paragons of physical excellence anyway.
Lewis clearly thought k.johnson was a c level fighter and trained accordingly, coming in at 256 showed this
:good When your a contender you need to make sure your ready if a chance comes to top the world ***** had his chance and didn't take it.
He was ready and it showed. He said himself he had been training for Lewis for more than a year preparing. Lewis on the other hand was living on easy street after Tyson and unmotivated and that too showed. In the end though the wirst version of Lennox beat the best version of Vittles. Klit had his chance but came up short. He should be thanking Lewis for giving him the oppurtunity because this fight removed the "quitter" tag he earned against Byrd. Without a Lewis fight Vits would be remebered as the guy who quit against Byrd and never rematched him, he never would have lost that stigma.
Honestly Vitali was supposed to beat Lewis and establish himself as the next great heavyweight Especially the Lewis that showed up that night ... Vitali should've been able to finish Lewis off, especially since his chin isn't the greatest He failed to do so in 6 rounds
Lennox Lewis prepared for Kirk Johnson and pulls out. They thought (Universum and Sdunek), Lewis is not well prepared and Vitali can make it. But Vitali could not. The old unprepared Lewis cut Vitali in round 3 badly and takes Vitali out in 6 rounds. Lewis was the better fighter and better boxer. TKO 6.
In a way you can say that Lewis helped Corrie Sanders beat Wlad He gave him the confidence and self belief that he could do it, even on taking the fight on 2 weeks notice Klitschkos are forever Lennox Lewis BITCHES .. didn't even need to step in the ring to beat Wlad lol
