Anybody think a Prime Vitali, would've beaten a Prime Lewis?

It took a long time before Lewis was recognized as a great champ. Americans just weren't happy to see a Brit champion. Now it's taking even longer for Americans to give Vitali his due. He was whipping Lewis' before and after that cut. Now the excuse is that Lewis was past his prime. LOL

p.s. I'm American and proud of it. Doesn't mean I have to be stupid about it.

Welcome to the forum.

I thought Lewis - Vitali was fairly close up until the stoppage.

It really wasn't only the cut made Vitali look like he was a having a difficult night. Lennox was getting his getting outboxed, though he was starting to come back with big punches, but they didn't seem to bother Vitali that much.

You honestly think it was by design that Vitali would take a couple rounds off even though his face looked to have gone through a meat mincer and everyone and their mother knew the fight wasn't going past a 7 or 8 rounds, what a good time for Vitali to gear for the end.
