Where Vitals grows a face vagina

Vitali was dominating Lewis, people forget Lewis was supposed to fight Kirk Johnson, but do to injury Kirk pulled out , and vitali took the fight and was the better fighter that night. For whatever it's worth Lennox never laced up the gloves again.

Go rewatch the fight, Lewis was brutalising Vitali and had started taking over when they stopped it. Good scrap considering the circumstances but that was Vitali at his best against arguably Lewis at his worst.

Arguably?????? He got the worst version of Lennox and still was getting beat the **** up. I don't know why people can't leave that fight alone.

This is the only way people can discredit Lennox Lewis, so they try as hard as they can. They just ignore reality. They ignore that Vitali Klitschko was gassing, as he did throughout his whole career. They ignore that Lewis was getting into his groove. And they ignore that Vitali's face looked like a day old kebab.

Lennox Lewis was past his best and didn't train properly. He was going to squash Kirk Johnson in a couple of rounds. At the eleventh hour that all changed, and in stepped a hungry, young, largely unknown beast of a Heavyweight in Vitali Klitschko. Lewis still weathered his storm and smashed him to bits.

This fight will always be one of those that inspires debate. The reason is simple: Both Vitalie and lewis fans just know how to complete the puzzle! For the Vitalie group, Lewis had a good round, but Vitalie was going to get back to work! For the Lewis group Lewis was coming on and starting to hit Vitalie real good!

For the record I tend to be in the Lewis corner on this one. First of all for the longest time people didn't seem to want to acknowledge that Lewis was training to fight a very weak opponent in Kirk Johnson. It was ridiculous how people would try to argue that Johnson was a threat... No and Lewis decided to slack and then in an act of unmitigated hubris decides to let Vitalie sub in.

Vitalie people often say that he was also undertrained, but look at the weight of both guys going in! Lewis was in horrendous shape.

Lewis was coming on a and starting to rock Vitalie which is one reason they decided to stop the fight. Vitalie was not defending well, though he was fighting back. I think that if the fight had continued lewis would have beaten Vitalie by TKO and possibly disfigured him in the process.

But we will never know to be fair.
