This Vladimir32 guy's a real ****, ain't he? What a saint Vitali is though, for taking on Lewis at just ten days notice. Lewis on the other hand knew months in advance that he's be facing Vitali...right? And how 'bout those scorecards eh? The significance of scorecards when half the fight is left to be fought should never be underestimated. Doesn't matter if you're stopped because your eye's practically hanging out. Doesn't matter that there were six rounds left to fight. Doesn't matter that 4-2 is only one round off being a draw. Doesn't matter that SIXTY STITCHES. Doesn't matter that 'dominating' doesn't mean **** when you end up being TKO6.
The outcome was controversial. The cut was cause by Lewis thumbing Vitali's eye in the beginning of the 3rd round. The fight should have been declared TD for Vitali.

How the **** was it controversial? Did you klittards look at Vitali's eye after the 6th? It wasn't just 1 severe cut, it was two. Man you guys are insane. Klittards to it's fullest. Anyways... TKO6 + This content is protected
a good stoppage. I thought Lennox was starting to land his right hand cleaner and he was going to knockout Vitali the next few rounds.
