Would Vitali have lasted the whole 12 due to the state of his face?

No you couldn't

Both were tired but Vitali was in the worse state, the pattern of the fight in the 5th and 6th would most likely have continued in the 7th, that is what we can take from the end of the 6th.

Lewis walking him down, walking through his punches, then Vitali exahusted and no longer throwing while being beat up to be honest.

That's why it has always been silly and embarrassing to read people say that Vitali was more likely to win over Lewis, just a very silly arguement as more things pointed to a Lewis win.

 

This. A round or two later it would get stopped anyways unless he stops Lewis before

 

It would have been all good had Lennox not knocked Vitaly's head back with his thumb, and had razor blades sewn into his hair, and the trainer hadn't rubbed in the cut too hard with the towel, and stuff. :deal

 

Neither guy was gonna last 12. Somebody was gettin KTFO in that fight. LL was more tired and more hurt than VK was. But there was no way VK coulda gone more than 2 rds more than what he did before it got stopped. His eye was about to get ripped out.

 

I am not sure Lewis would have lasted one more round. I still have yet to see a conclusive video showing that it was the result of a punch. I think the evidence favors that it occurred because of an accidental headbutt.

 

atsch

Quite the opposite infact, that much is obvious to most sane people who watched the last couple rounds, specifically the end of the last round.

 

For those saying Lewis was more tired see the gif that has been posted about 10 times already on the previous pages

Yes LL was more tired, but the cut allowed him to energize as he saw the end near, but it wouldn't last forever. Vitali was not necessary as much tired as blinded by blood. His corner were doing a good job on it later on.

Notice not only is his eye cut in several places, the huge below, the huge one above, the one on the eye lid, his lip is busted and blackend and blue, his other eye seems quiet red, perhaps on the verge of cutting. also notice the cut on his forehead going horizontal and one above his eye going straight.

He fought bravely but needed to be protected from his own bravery, had he been allowed to continue the fight he'd probably just end up with a detatched retina and end up going blind and still losing the fight if not being knocked out. Besides, that cut would have opened up more and more, and every punch would be a punch to the eye, and eventually his skin would be falling off in chunks around the ring and more blood would pour out. People thinking Klitschko could have won this fight are in fantasy land. Lewis has never gone down after round 5. Klit was stopped in round 6. If there was a round 7, it'd just be stopped them because lewis would keep punching that eye.

 

the above gif is end of round 5, if lewis is more tired he sure isn't showing it, its klitschko clinching, its klitschko taking all the punches, and its klitschko who looks like he is just trying to survive, he came out strong,fought a good fight, he could never win late, he had to ko lewis early. Even tired lennox lewis wins fights, because if you are tired and lewis is tired, you can avoid his right

 

This is so sad, there is actually debate going on about
how the worst,fattest,oldest,weakest,slowest version of Lennox would have done in Round 7 against PRIME Vitali.

Prime Lewis would have killed him

If you watch Lewis during the Golota-Tua-Grant fights even during the Morrison fight. He was literally twice as fast. I still can't believe 2003 Version of Lennox got a tko6...

 

Brewster also took out Golota in 1 so what

 

Also, Lewis didn't look that good against Vitaly cause Vitaly is a lot better then Golota, Grant and Tua combined

 

He wouldn't have made it out of the 7th round.
