Vitali blames no Lewis rematch on Lennox's mum, whats his motivation

Lennox didnt even want the fight - his heart was already in reitrment

He was lined up for a easy fight against fat boy Kirk Johnson

But when Johnson pulled out - Vitali stepped in.

Lewis - and most people - underestinmted Vitali

And he shook Lewis to his core on several occassions

Once Lewis realised he was a serious fighter and challenger to his throne - he said **** going through all that again

Time to retire

Its Lewis own fault he stuck about for the one last fight - just for what he thought was a easy defence against a bum

But when Kirk pulled out - late sub - Vitali stepped in - and left question marks over Lewis's last fight and legacy.

 

It's Vitali's defining fight.

Sad.

 

[ and left question marks over Lewis's last fight and legacy.[/quote]

Lewis Legacy was already sealed and is goals accomplished before this fight took place , Yes lennox got rocked and was down on the score cards but he was starting to land the big bombs up untill the stoppage. the only question mark in that fight is who would of won had the fight contuined.
to get that result at the end of he's career wasn't to shabby he retired with a win and champion

Lewis might of thought i dont want to go threw that again with Vitali
but he was at the end of he's career with nothing left to prove

 

Pretty much my take on it.

No matter what he'd done before, or what he's done since, including coming off a four year layoff to win the title back in his returning contest..... still nothing in comparison to what a win over Lewis would have been.

 

Lewis' legacy should never be in doubt.

 

A tip top Lewis always beat Vitali, he is somewhat over-rated becuase of his losing performance against an unmotivated Lewis.

 

Nahhhhhh

Beating his successor to the heavyweight throne when he was old and out of shape is massively impressive. Does no harm to him whatsoever, its a very very good win.

 

The Press Association's report of this story is ****ing gay. It's on the Guardian, Daily Mail and London Evening Standard's (amongst others website).

This is what it says:

WTF?! The issue of scorecards does not need to be brought up, there was no controversy over whether it was punches or a headclash that caused the cuts (plural!). It is clearly ****ing evident that all the cuts were caused by punches from Lewis.

 

So by that reckoning, Jackson vs Graham is controversial?

 

the had only boxed 6 rounds and klit was only up by 2points (4 rounds 2) there was still a long way to go in the fight
