Saw it yesterday.
Terrible fight. No class..... infact I'd say the bout was an embarrassment to boxing. Remember it was for the WBC(?) belt.... it might aswell been an amateur contest.
Vitaly fought like a scared fighter.....not very dissimilar Lennox over the past few years....but unlike Lewis, VK doesn't have an excellent jab he can hide behind.
Corrie showed the heart of a champion, shame he didn't have the technique of one........ in the end VK was the much fitter fighter which is why he won.
That said, southpaw's are hard to fight, especially one's with great punches. I think it was the first time the Ruski fought one..... perhaps we shouldn't be too harsh on him. However, he's got a lot to do, to convince me.
Heavyweight boxing has been shite over the last decade... the last decent fights were the Holyfield Vs Bowe contests. Right now, the division is a fecking joke.
