Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko on Facing Vitali: He Would Have Beat Me
Collapse

To claim Lewis 'ducked' Klitschko is just silly. Lewis had not fought for over a year and was 10lb overweight, but he ripped Klitschko's face to pieces with his punches (67 stitches). No referee or doctor in the world would have allowed Vitali to continue because his eyesight was in serious danger (later confirmed). And Lewis dominated the sixth and last round, wobbling Vitali. As Manny Stewart put it: 'When Lennox hit him with those two tremendous uppercuts I knew the fight was over. Vitali was badly hurt. Lennox would have knocked him out without any doubt in the next two rounds- probably the seventh.' Lewis realised he no longer had the motivation for the game and retired at the age of 38 - a wise decision. Nothing to do with 'ducking'.
