Your thoughts on Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko?

[Violent Demise]

looked like something out of the 1890's fighting scene.

How the 1890's fight scene look like?

primitive crap.

It was a quality fight, just a shame it was decided by cuts. Neither man was backing down in that one.

Shite I love primates...sign me up.I think Vitali had Lewis if his face had not fallen apart.

I think so too. Lewis knew it was time to go after that scare. Not in as decent shape as he used to be and on the slide somewhat.

[HattonTheHammer]

really good fight that got going right from the 2nd round onwards

It wasnt the same lewis that had beat tyson 6months before. Klitschko landed big on lennox a number of times

But all this crap about the cut saved lewis is b*llocks. Lewis was just beggining to find his feet and the round before it got stopped he was teeing off on klitschko for fun

Such a shame lennox retired and we never got to see how the fight really would of ended!!

My take on this fight has always been the same - Lewis did a job on him!! Agreed Vitali was 2 rounds ahead on the scorecards, but what does that really mean? It means at half way he was 'technically' slightly ahead, it doesn't say anything about what would've happend had the fight gone another 6 rounds. What we do know is that Lewis left horrendous damage on Vitali's face (all left by punches) damage so bad that the doctors had to stop the fight and Vitali needed plastic surgery and something like 50 sticthes to put his face back together. Nobody in all seriousness can say that Lewis didn't do what was required, you can't look at those 2 fighters at the end of the fight and think anything other than Lewis beat him. What is more impressive, being ahead on the techincal aspects of judges scorecards or hitting your opponent with such great punches that you leave him looking like a freak show?

Great job by a way past his best and arguably completely unprepared Lennox Lewis

Lennox is probably my favorite heavywieght ever, and he wasn't teeing off on Klitschko at any point, If he wasn't landing so much bigger punches he wouldn't ahve even won rounds 5 and 6, and he gasing badly, and the breaks were like a minute and 30 seconds because of all they were checking the cuts so much. I think Lennox in tip top shape beats Vitali in a close fight, but without those cuts on that night Vitali would have crushed Lennox going into the later rounds, I mean he couldn't even see out of that eye, and he was taking huge shots from Lennox way easier than I thought was humanly possible.

OK so you don't when heavyweights box and use the sweet science and then you don't like it when they go toe to toe.....you are a boxing fan correct

Klitschko-Lewis was a great fight, it was an even match and both fighters came out of the gates trying to end it as fast as possible...what's not to like about it

Shame about that cut though, and that there was no rematch, but then again we all know why that was

Good fighter, both men beat my favourite Herol Graham.

The Lewis fight made Klistchsko. Certainly the biggest fight Vitalis ever been in. Lewis was out of shape for this one and Vit was a late opponent. Great slugfest that ended with Lewis winning legitmately. it wasnt his head that made Klitschko look like something out of a horror film. Had the fight continued I think Lewis would have picked away at Vitali. The man was a great tactician as well as being a great fighter.

If Lewis was in shape Vitali probabaly would have just been another opponent and wouldnt have been the name he is now.

[Chino]

It wasnt the same lewis that had beat tyson 6months before

...and it wasn't the same Tyson that beat taller guys with ease either.

Such a shame lennox retired and we never got to see how the fight really would of ended!

A rematch would have been good business-wise and for the fans.
