All that Larry Merchant Klitschko won the event nonsense is just that.The fight was the event,LL won the fight therefore he won the event if you look at it that way.Lewis got a TKO victory fair and square:hi:
Or just watch this one... however, without the video it just doesn't have the same impact.... [YT]bQeE_TDNrzY[/YT]
No chance, too busy these days. But it will be a proud day for Canadians (and obviously Brits). Lewis TKO 6 :smoke Even after all this time the same goddamn immutable fact is noted on every account of the man's final fight. :yep
Vitali became the people's champion that day. You don't become the people's champion by NOT winning the event.:hi:
Bull****. You get it with a wagon load of propoganda spewed by idiots like Merchant and Lampley - doing their corporate best to further a supposed HBO heir apparent. The fact that Lewis looked so poor early in the fight did not help his own cause. He got it done in the end, which is what matters most. "People's champion". What does that mean? Is it some sort of lame consolation prize? :rofl
