Wasn't he cut in the second round? Also, he didn't have loads of energy, Klit was knackered too. BTW his corner were pulling him out anyway. :P

I suggest you both watch the fight without rose tinted glasses.

At the end of the fight, after it's called off, Lewis slumps there. Klitschko jumps up and furiously reprimands all and sundry and displays plenty of energy.

Lewis was at the end of his second wind, Vitali was about to get his.

BTW the cut was horrible and the fight should have been stopped - but in boxing cuts don't tell the whole story.

Lewis was on his way to losing without the cut, and this preciptated his retirement.

It's irrelevant now anyway, if Lennox had been bothered to train he'd have ended this silly argument there and then

That's bollocks, Lewis had the momentum, Klit was cut to ribbons. He lost, end of story. Lewis beat everyone in his era, Klit has beaten fornicate all in comparison.

Well I suggest you do the same, Klitschko may have jumped up on his feet but his corner didn't, the same corner that put butterfly stitches, which you're not allowed to fight with, on his eye. Ergo, they were pulling him out anyway, he didn't even know the ref was looking at him, I suppose you're now going to claim a racist referee like some eastside lunatic? Lewis started slow but was taking over at the end, Klitschko's eye looked like a strumpets pudendum and he couldn't continue. You may as well harp on about Cooper beating Ali. "Lewis was on his way to losing without the cut", but what about the cut?
