I supported Vitali in this fight and still do yet that punch was legal. There's no way in hell for Lewis, despite his experience, to time a thumb/lace.
Film don't lie, and Lewis ducked the re-match for a reason. TKO6, with cheating. Lewis also pushed Vitali down and flopped on top of him, and stuck the top of his head in the cut region multiple times on breaks, not to mention hitting and holding.
Did anyone see this on the front page? [url]http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=483897[/url]
Really over 300 pages in thread TKO6 must be wrong. Jugdes and the referee for the fight 10 years ago must be wrong too. Or Wait FOR It YOUR WRONG. TKO6 klittards:bbb:bbb:bbb
That's not even the punch that opened the cut. The one that did the real damage was an overhand right on the inside. 1) Get your facts straight 2) Get over it. The fight was ten years ago. Lewis was in the worst shape of his career and he still turned Vitali into a bloody mess.
And he didn't lose the Byrd fight either. And Wlad didn't lose against Puritty, Sanders or Brewster... :roll:
Even if you count one of the cut as illegal ( which it wasn't )... What about all the other cuts... his cheek bone was cut and his bottom lip was split wide open with a big flap of skin flapping about the place. They couldn't of all happened off that one punch.. haha
