Rematch ? No thank you!

It's all there. Both Vitali and Lennox like to fight as the bigger man. From a distance, using the jab, keeping the foe on the end of their punches, moving away and making them follow around the ring. Vitali would have been implementing this gameplan against Boswell, and also implemented it against Lennox. For the first time in ages you saw Lennox following a guy around the ring. Lennox would have been using that gameplan against the smaller man in Kirk Johnson, but couldn't do so against Vitali, the bigger man.

As I said Lennox is the only one who had to alter his natural way of fighting because of the switch in opponents.

 

Lennox is a couple of inches shorter than Vitali, but he has a ridiculous reach (84" vs. 80" for Vitali). I think you're splitting hairs if you're arguing that one was at more of a disadvantage than the other because of the change in opponents.

 

You could be right. I still think it is a valid point, backed up by the fact that Vitali was keeping Lennox on the outside and Lennox was the guy chasing him down in the ring. I am also a big Lennox supporter and could just be incapable of looking at it objectively, haha.

 

I try to avoid discussing too many of the issues as they tend to degenerate into a veritable mess which ends with somebody threatening another forumites pet dog or something...but, for me, and this is something I stand by to the bitter end.....Vitali Klitschko, with the benefit of the Lewis fight under his belt, was a better, more confident and more dangerous fighter than what he was before he faced Lewis.

Its a simple concept, like combat troops experiencing their first action. If they live through it, they become better and more adept at dealing with it in future.

 

I have to agree. Rematch sure woulda been a cracker. I think Vitali would have been better and I think Lennox would have been better. And if you disagree I will kill you

 

if you kill him, i will pay your bail and legal fees.

 

How? By bequeathing them? Because I am going to kill you first.:shadow:
