Good stoppage or not this is a FACT LENNOX WAS THE ONE CALLING FOR THE END OF THE FIGHT....and he was doing so because he knew he was out of energy and couldn't withstand Vitali's offensive output

I don't see it like that.. It wasn't a freak accident, Lewis landed some great right hands early in the fight... What your saying would be no different that had he leaned back an inch further, the punch clipped his chin, and he was KOed.. It's really no different. You can call it a freak, or lucky, shot(cuz everyone knows Lennox couldn't actually punch hard ) But the fact is, it was a hard punch, that landed on a tough spot for Vitali. Im sure his goal wasn't to slip the big right hand so it would miss his chin and rip his eye half out of it's socket, he was more likely trying to avoid it from connecting at all, don't ya think Lyle??
