What are some more boxing related internet terms like 'TKO6' and 'Event Win'

theres a pattern in your posts here saffy. lewis destoryed your hero vitali and you need a way out. ward destroyed your hero kovalev twice, and you are lookig for a way out.

be honest, if lewis had killed vitali off three times in a row you'd still be looking for a way out.

 

wierd, i kinda knew you would never reply to that argument already.

but full on throwing your toys out of the pram... u must be sore about your hero losing

 

I only speak the truth. That's the only pattern you will find in my posts.

Ward beat Kovalev in the rematch, he didn't win the first match.

Even so he couldn't help himself and still resorted to illegal cheating bending of the rules in the rematch to secure victory. There is no honor in the way he fought.

And lets not even get into the steroid saga and ducking VADA tests.

I digress. In regards to Lewis his legacy and respect will forever be tarnished for the way he went back on his word promising Vitali and the world that he will fight.

The Great Legendary George Foreman said there needed to be a rematch.

George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

Even Emanuel Steward felt sick and disgusted at Lewis for avoiding the Vitali rematch.

''I told Lennox after the fight: I feel like we owe Vitali a rematch. Lennox agreed with me. Even after a year since Lennox left boxing, we talked about that fight.''

 

Yeah, because he's the only boxer in history who's had a change of heart once out of the heat of battle... lol
Sorry, but I feel you're opinion is little to do with the validity of a rematch and more to do with what happened when they did fight and its unsatisfactory but decisive conclusion. And I can't take anyone too seriously when they use the word 'coward' about a boxer. It just makes you seem butthurt rather than rational....

 

Go on then.....name me all these boxing heroes past or present, who had a inconclusive fight win and then promised their opponent a rematch yet changed their mind at the last minute.

 

Ridiculous and idiotic statement. If you think Lewis is the only boxer to have a change of heart over a rematch in the history of boxing after a disputed result, I can't help you. Why did Wlad not rematch AJ then? Or was that conclusive enough to disqualify? Or was it because he lost? If it is, that proves my point that your issue is with TKO6 and NOTHING else. Get over it....

 

How did I know you were going to resort to bringing up Wlad?!

So predicatable...

Wladimir lost. He didn't win through controversy and then run. Neither did he give his word to Joshua or his fans that he would activate the rematch clause and then completely go back on it. He always said he needed time to think about things. Even if he did it would be no loss to Joshua because he was the winner.

The way you were talking about all these great fighters throughout history who made a the same cowardly choice as Lewis, I was expecting you to be able your reel off a host of names...

Do you want to know why you can't find anyone else who did the same thing? Because there are no true greats or legends who have pride and honor, that would take such a dishonest course of action

 

Yes you do indeed need to ask why it was so predictable to you. Anyway, bringing things back down a notch....

You keep using the term 'cowardly'. That's interesting, because you have identified it as a possible emotional trigger - you've done this subconsciously, but still it's revealing as all projection is, of course. And here's the rub: this IS an emotional topic for you, which is odd really. We're discussing on boxing forum; it's not group therapy. I disagree with your assessment of Lewis' decision, you with mine; and neither of us will budge, I suspect. I'm comfortable leaving it at that. Are you?

 

FWIW I have no issue with the TKO stoppage since the doctor did what he felt he had to do which was prevent long term damage for Vitali's eye even though he felt he was capable of fighting on and finishing the fight.

The problem arises due to the causal factors of the cut in the first place and to be honest I don't blame the ref for failing to notice, since Lewis was a very wily fighter.

He perfected the technique of holding his opponents face with the jab to set up the right and whilst doing that he would then scrap down with the inside thumb of the glove along their faces.

If you watch Lewis vs Bruno, Frank's eye closes up from this technique used on him throughout the fight. Bruno would have lost regardless, but you see how it didn't help with his vision which gave Lewis a considerable advantage.

This is how Lewis butchered Vitali's face with his the scrapping, hidden in plain sight for all witnesses to see and why the fight leaves a bitter taste in Vitali's fans and neutrals alike because we wished to see a foregone conclusion without illegal tactics settling the fight.

 

Damn just stop it , TKO 6

 

There is no other way to describe the actions of Lewis.

If you check back at the time, all of the fans were calling him a coward because he wouldn't honor the rematch.

There is no emotion here, I have feel nothing towards Lewis. He did what he thought was right for himself. He acted through fear and made decision to quit.

However I am not going to gloss over it and pretend that it was the right thing to do. Foreman and Emanuel Steward are along the same line of thought in believing that it wasn't the right thing to do and that Lewis was losing.

 

Your boy didn't want anything more to do with Vitali. Nothing at all

Did you know Lewis' mother begged him not to fight the big Ukrainian beast again and Lewis never hesitated to take heed?

Fear simply overtook his heart as he realized it was safer to walk away to be in his slippers in front of the mantle piece.

 

TKO 6 , it was only one person bleeding like a Butchered Hog , deal with it.

 

Add in that it was also ordered immediately afterwards. Has that happened since?

 

Yes it was mandated that he should rematch immediately.

Let us not forget the post fight tough guy talk from lewis, talking about how he was ready to have Wladimir for Lunch and how much tougher he was than Vitali after promising a rematch.

Even Larry knows the cut was from the edge of Lewis' glove.
