Not durable enough? Just....wow hahaha

Separately, Lennox was better but Vitali had him if not for the cut. Lennox could barely stand to celebrate. And he did not retire right away, he could have rematched. He stayed looking for other fights that did not materialize. He didn't want to fight Vitali again. That's his choice but if he had retired right away nobody could question his choice not to rematch, since he stayed looking for fights the choice not to rematch should be questioned.
