LENNOX LEWIS vs. VITALI KLITSCHKO

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

A re-match was most likely written into the contract. Tyson vs. Jones or Byrd would be interesting.

They talked in the paper today about Lewis's rusting skills, suspect chin & him weighing in at his heaviest for a fight. Sure hope they're not trying to write him off just yet. If he's starts pounding that left jab in there on a constant basis, I think Klitschko may wind up looking like a bloody mess before it's over. Just hope Lewis is in shape.

I love watching the heavyweights go at it. The money those guys get is incredible. Hope it's a good one!

Didn't Lewis KO 6'7" Michael Grant?

Ah forgot about that one. I read that this was 3 years ago though so it could still have an impact.

The jab has been effective for him b/c he has always been taller than his opponents. This time it's different. If Vitali can start with the jab, Lewis will have to be the one bobbing. If you say he's at his heaviest, all that extra moving may wear him down. Of course I'm looking for any reason for the guy to lose though b/c I don't like him

Did anyone see the weigh in or prefight pics? What kind of shape is Lewis in? If he pulls a Holyfield and gains weight in muscle I don't see how the weight will hinder him. He was originally scheduled to fight Kirk Johnson who is very fast technician for a heavyweight, so I assume he was training for mobility.

#He weighed in at 18 and a half stone..........his heaviest ever. Thats around 260lb.

Damn his Bio says he's usually 247lbs!!!

Vitali's only loss before tonight was a TKO due to a shoulder injury vs. Chris Byrd.

He now has 2 losses, 1 due to injury which he was winning, and 1 due to a cut, which he was winning. That sucks for him.

I hate Listening the Lewis after fights. He's so full of shit it makes me laugh. At least this time he didn't speak with a Jamican accent lol.
