Liakhovich-Brewster was a better fight. Lewis-Klitschko had better fighters and was for the true title, but the fight itself wasn't as good as Liakhovich-Brewster
10 straight years of furious debate, with no sign of the debate ever ending. It wasn't even a great fight however.
@ glover - Ive just watched Sanders vs Wlad. At what point is this butt? First knockdown is a clear left hook. Vitali cut in multiple places that night. he took 60 stitches. When he is hit properly he cuts - most of the time he is just not hit because he leans back and arm punches to a UD or a drawn out TKO
a shameless grab for glory that does not exist and look at HW boxing today as 10 years ago - the winner? Dana White
To me there is a difference between a clash of heads and a headbutt. If anything its initially wlads head thats moving in as he grabs and I'm pretty sure the left hook is what puts him down. There is more head contact than i realised but that was knock down 1. There was 3 more after that.
The syntax and the grammer might be a tad off but are you really so dumb that you can't understand what he means?
He was cut in his fight with Sanders as well. And Wlad bleeds all the time. **** Wlad hit trash can Wach 1000 times yet Wlad was the one Bleeding. Both Klitschkos cut very easy. Had Vitali fought Lewis again the result would have been Vitali's face ripped open again. Lewis was just the better fighter out of the three like it or not. And don't give me Wlad would beat lewis. Wlad can't take a punch. If Lewis had fought Wlad it would have been like the Grant fight with Wlad being Grant.
Peter was no tank. He was just a average fighter and that fight showed Wlad can't take a punch. Look at the last knock down in that Peter fight. Wlad was ablout to get knocked out and was saved by the bell. The only reason Wlad has not been knocked down anymore is because Steward taught him the boring Jab and Grab style. If Wlad stil fought his old style he would be a lot of fun to watch. He also would have been knock out some more.Wlad's chin is weak for sure.
Lewis said he cuts easy. He was the one slicing up his face I think he would know. Imagine if that fight went the full 12. Vitali's face would have fell off. The Klitschkos have thin skin .
Boom Boom Mancini, paraphrasing, Vitali was whipping Lewis's ass. Lewis was shot after six and would have been ktfo in 1 or 2 more. Vitali was ready to go more even with his eye cut. The cut did warrant a stoppage. Lewis said he would rematch and retired. Mama wanted him to. a good boy I'd say and a wise decision.
OOOOOOOKKKKKKKAY Vitali was ready for a nap via KO next round. He was huffung and puffing and holding on for dear life at the end of the 6th round after that vicious uppercut. his iron mandible save his ass. Any heavyweight would have kissed canvas ala Micheal Grant
That fight started the Klitschko era. Lewis and Vitali were lucky the fight was stopped after 6 rounds
LOL at an era featuring co-champions. Until the Klitschkos fight each other neither will be considered great. Boxing isn't a tag team sport.
