    You can make a case for both fighters IMO. It seems those who liked Lennox gave him the fight and those who like Vitali had him winning the rounds. Lennox did do everything he could to get rid of Vitali especially that huge right uppercut in I believe it was the fifth and Vitali walked through it. Lennox did start to gain ground in the ending rounds but I do remember Vitali landing his right hand at will when he threw it. The best evenly matched fight I've seen in a long time and probably never again in the heavyweight division.

    That uppercut was a great punch.

    How did Klitchko stay on his feet

    It seemed as if both fighters just decided not to bother with defence and just load up with big singel shots.

    Not the most skillfull fight you will watch but very entertaining.

    the last GREAT heavyweight fight, i had Lewis slightly ahead but he seemed to be slowing down, and i feel at least on that night, if it weren't for the cut, Klitschko would have out lasted him

    Just think Vitali was a back-up figter for Lennox on that night. What would have happenend if Kirk Johnson did stand in? I liked Kirk Johnson he was a very good counter-puncher but he continuosly come into fight's in poor shape and it really took a toll on him when Vitali fought him.

    Lewis would have adapted and had an easier time than he did with Vitali. Kirk blew it against Ruiz.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Yeah at one time I thought Johnson was going somewhere in the sport, thought he would at minimum hold one version of the titles, he was certainly an underachiever

    Lamon Brewster vs Sergey Lyakhovich was a better fight IMO.
