    Boring is prhaps somewhat of an overstatement. He doesn't sit down as much on his punches as before and has changed his style to cope. Thinking of his fights against Sanders and Lewis he took some to give some - both were wars. He hasn't really fought anyone since who has really pushed him in the same manner. It's probably due to the one sided nature of his fights why he can be labelled as boring, which is unfair. Saying that, I've bought the last few of his fights and have felt ripped off by the end.

    I hear some voice in the background that may be saying 'You got one round' but it's very unclear and it rather doesn't sound like a ring doctor to me. The sentence, whatever it says is spoken with no emotions, like a random comment made by someone random at the ringside, one of Vit's cornermans maybe.

    it should have been stopped much earlier. Its one of the worst cut i've ever seen. Lewis was damn lucky he caused it - fighting with blood all over the face isnt an easy task but Vitaly is a real mofo.

    Not a Legit stoppage? WTF!

    Who's to say he would not have gone blind had he been allowed to continue?

    His face was caved in. Vitali was winning the fight, but nothing is over until its over! Lewis made the cut happen, not an accidental butt or fouling, therefore, Lewis won!

    Not a legit stoppage? That's the most ridiculous statement I've heard in a long time!

    The Byrd stoppage was bull**** too, Byrd was robbed of a KO win just like Lewis was.

    I am a huge Vitaly fan. I am also a Lewis fan.

    IMO it was a legit stoppage & if it went on Lewis would have lost that fight.

    legit stoppage, no doubt.
    fights have been stopped for less damage.
    Lewis was at the end of his career, and Vitali's effort convinced Lennox to retire , and stay retired.
    Vitali redeemed himself for quitting against Byrd, and Lewis showed how to overcome adversity like a true champion.
    Both guys were elevated from this fight, which was fought and ended fairly.

    You will hear it. Keep listening to it. It's very faint but you can hear him say 'one more round'.

    His carreer would have been ended if it wasn`t stopped. His face was already mangled and as Lewis said he could have had his eye ball pop out if it had continued.
