I was at this fight and it was fantastic. I’ve never heard a crowd roar like that. People were going absolutely bonkers. The put footage of Klitschko’s cut man probing his cut on the Jumbotron and I got physically I’ll. What a great fight. About a year later I saw Klitschko running on Venice Beach with his trainer. I wish I had told him what a great fighter he was. I hope he doesn’t die in this war. This guy is a treasure.
watch the Klitschko-Sanders fight
what impresses me is how Vitali manages to remain firm receiving those powerful uppercuts and crosses from Lewis, wat a warrior
Klitschko is a mayor of Kyiv, actually.
Yep; I was there too. When they showed that cut gaping open, everybody knew it was over.
And then Lewis said to himself, "fuck this, I'm rich, I'm not going back into this sort of punishment" 🤣
Exactly.
Smart man. Himself and Foreman are probably the only Hall of Fame calibre heavyweights who retired with their health intact in addition to being wealthy.
@@Johnballz83 shannon Briggs: Hold my cup champ
Vitali hat in einer anderen liga geboxt als Wladimir.
Let’s not try to discredit Lewis, he ate and soaked all vitali’s punches and delivered his own. He dint punch the body really , he wanted to crack vitali’s head. He knew exactly what he was doing even as he wasn’t in perfect shape. Not even in his prime, he still beat the then reigning klitschko. Man’s my personal goat 🐐
Vitali was the most underrated

Yes I agree
Would have been undisputed if not for his brother.
Tua was the most underrated by fans and promotions but not his opponents therefore he’s the most underrated heavyweight

Yea at 40 years old? How did his face get damaged so bad? From thin air?
@@edwin9210 I watched it live on HBO. It was a great fight. Lennox definitely wasn’t in his prime, but was still better than anyone other than the Klitschko brothers at that point. Imo, a fighter’s age in the heavyweight division isn’t as relevant as it is in the lower weight classes. Just look at the rankings right now and look at how many r in there late 30s.
Practically the same changing of the guard happened when Anthony Joshua beat Klitschko. He was around 40 and that fight was back and forth. Both had kd’s in that fight.
@@michaelhagen2712 Sir, Lennox Lewis was 39 going 40 had he not retired for a rematch. And why a rematch anyway? He beat a young fighter on his prime when he took the fight on two weeks notice as he already planned to retire prior. He took that fight as he thought Vitali wasn’t a threat. You people lie to elevate Klitschko but ignore the documented truth. Vitali was the great white hope at the time because he gave an unconditioned 39yo pre-retired Lewis some problems. Nothing special about him. He was holding for dear life getting his face ripped off and they had 6 rounds to go.

Many people say Vitali would have won if it's not been stopped but i don't. It would be easy for Lennox to avoid risks and just to jab here and there on the huge cuts repeatedly. Than it would be stopped two rounds later. This is my outcoming of it. But Lennox seems to promised Vitali a rematch and never did it. This is a minus for his legacy in my eyes.
What a fight! The power of some of those punches!

@@StoneCold2k57 a wall of text that no one reads.
There’s no how you’ll watch Lewis fight and he’ll not impress you.
I guess Vitali had the upper hand from the beginning but Lewis’s never giving up attitude made him to blow Vitali eyes.
Against the rope - he punches, almost falling - he punches any how never count him out!
That upper cut by Lewis at 10:15 is enough to end the fight but guess what! Vitali is another hell of a fighter!
Go watch him fight hasim Rahman 1at fight you won't be impressed!
Your wrong, I watched this fight and know that if there had been any other human that size who did as much steroids as Lennox did and ducked as many great fighters when he was young as Lennox did, Lennox would have had his glass jaw broken. The only thing Lennox did right was wait until all the great fighters of his era were beat up from fighting all those years, while Lennox did nothing, and then he went after the belts. He's a footnote in history. Watch the first 2 rounds of this fight and tell me u see a skilled fighter in Lennox, he looked like shit.
I just remember him getting knocked out twice and seen him almost knocked out in atleast 5 other fights.
He was bigger than most and he also got lucky.
@@j.m.5744 Lol, well said. I watched Lewis almost get knocked out with Briggs,Bruno, holyfield and a couple other fights just barley surving. He was getting his ass kicked good in this fight and new better to do it again.

Lewis knew that was the end! Saying yes to a rematch when his team screamed hell no!
Then he was already old fighting late notice
Don't bleed..lol
Had he not caused that cut near Klitschko’s eye, Lewis would probably have lost this fight! I’m a Lennox Lewis fan, but Vitali Klitschko was showing off some very good fighting skills! I bet Lennox was happy af , when they told him it was over!
10:15 would have ko'ed any other guy instantly. Vitali took that as if nothing happend. what a chin.
Zu hart, jetzt wo ich mir das nochmals angeschaut hab👍🏼🤣
He was all over the place and holding on for dear life after the punch.
Maybe past use of steroids helped him take that punch.
Fucking brutal
Lewis was past his prime though when he fought Vitali and out of shape. he might have stopped him in his younger years

@@fejuncorLennox beats any version of Tyson, they sparred when Tyson was in his prime and Lewis was lighting him up even back then, so was Holyfield
@@fejuncor I agree with you. Unfortunately Tyson was one of the greatest but not for long sadly. His addiction to drugs didn't help. Also Tyson still manage to beat Trevor, Larry Holmes who was still in great shape. He also - thanks to his speed - managed beat Eddie Richardson who was heavier and much taller than him to only quote examples.

What a Fight !!!! Lewis showed tremendous guts ...So did Vitali......What a shame it ended on cuts....WOuld have been an even Greater fight if it wasnt stopped as both were gassed but Very determined.... Wish we saw more of Vitali. He could have been a champion for a long time like his brother. Lewis ...one of the 10 Best Heavyweights of All time.
100% !
Vitali was a champion for over 8 years bruv. 2 time champion and defended the belt 10 times.
The judges should’ve taken a point away from Lewis for holding around Vitali’s neck while hitting him. Very dirty.
I agree Lois is very dirty
That is a very British boxing thing that I never understood what made it OK. Left wrist behind your opponent's head and you repeatedly hit him in the head with your best rights.
10:15 epic uppercut ever. Greatness
1990s fighters faught with honour
This fight along with the Mercer, Tua, Holyfield, Mavrovic and Bruno fights debunks the myth that Lewis had a glass jaw. He took some punishment and some good shots in the above fights.
For someone who was dropped only twice in his career to be said to have a weak jaw while others who were knocked down or out myriad times to be considered tough is a joke that has run out of freshness.
@The Devil All The Time Where, dear sir, did you see anything about "prime" in my submission?
@The Devil All The Time No one cares about him? Well someone got him into the Hall of Fame pretty quickly. Inducted into the HOF a good 8 yrs before Holyfield. Pls stop that "prime" talk. The age difference btw Holyfield and Tyson was 4 yrs with Lewis being a year older than Tyson. If the youngest of the 3 couldnt keep himself in his "prime" for long enough then thats on him. Both Lewis and Holyfield fought Tyson when they could, none of them ever ducked him or each other.
In the Vitali fight, no doubt Lewis was getting the worse no doubt but a champion finds a way, even when out of his prime. Tyson out of his prime was getting knocked out by Danny Williams with a distinguished career of 27 losses and quitting on his ass against Mcbride.
@The Devil All The Time Im a pathetic cuck? Well youve shown your home training or lack of it. I stated facts and you turn to insults. Take care little boy.
Its the shots he never saw coming that twice did him in
Yeah, he took some huge shots from Klitschko but I am also impressed with the latter one as he also took some gigantic hooks to the jaw/chin from Lewis and was still standing......
Lennox was clearly losing this fight. First time I saw him convincingly outmatched.
Bis heute einer der besten Box Kämpfe die ich je gesehen habe. Best Fight!!!!
Falscher Sieger!!!!
Lennox absorbed some MASSIVE shots!
YES BUT LENNOX EXPERIENCE OVERIDES KLITHCHOS!!!! LENNOX BORDERLINE DIRTY TACTICS(KRONC GYM) SAVED HIM!!! THAT CUT EYE WAS STRATEGICALLY PLACED!!!! I LOVE WHEN VETERANS PULL THAT SHIT OUT!!! CANELO PUNCHING ON THE FOREARMS!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!
Roger he absorbed more massive hugs
Both of their heads were granite blocks
THAT IS WHY LEWIS WOULD NEVER FIGHT VITALI AGAIN...
...as did Vitali. No one's ever done that kind of damage to Vitali and no one has ever since.
Great fight, two brave Gladiators.
Un beau combat équilibré . Ils ont tous les deux encaissés et bien donnés . Bravo à vous deux !
Loved both fighters. My dad loves boxing so I grew up watch Lennox. Lewis vs Mercer is one of my favorites. Underated fight.
These two guys really gave it their best and they were in good shape. It seemed Klitschko was ahead on points when the cut got the best of him. Damn good fight.
Vitali fight like an Actor in the movie. But honestly speaking Vitali really beat Lennox.
He got busted up
True. had it not for the eye cut he scored more points.
Would have if not for cut.But the rules are if a clean shot ( not a butt) causes the cut , its a tko.Fair play.
Mmp8po7
Bullshit Lewis would iff got on top
Vitali is the best heavyweight figher since Ali. He was always much better then Wladimir. I think he is the only heavyweight fighter (of the real top stars in heavyweight boxing) who never really lost a fight. His two "losses" were a joke. He dominated Chris Byrd and "lost" just due to injury. And the "loss" vs Lennox was a complete disgrace. He dominated Lewis and outscored him on all three scorecards and it was just a question of 2 or 3 more rounds until Vitali would have knocked out a completely exhausted Lewis. Until they (thanks you to Mr Don King!) "stole" the fight due to "injury". Watch the video of this fight and see the reaction of Vitali and Lennox after the ref stopped the fight. Vitali was upset like hell and was completely fit and able to keep fighting! And Lennox was even too exhausted to stand up to celebrate his "victory". LOL What a JOKE!! All of the greatest heavyweights (Ali, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Wladimir, Joshua) got knocked out sooner or later in their career. Not Vitali!!! Vitali was not even down with a single knee during his whole career. Never saw him shaking, not even for a single second during his whole career. Never saw any fear in his eyes!! Mentally unbelievable strong! Fist AND Chin made of steel!!!

That eye was a mess, the fight actually should have been stopped earlier than it was.
Lewis tucked his tail and retired rather than give Vitali a mandatory rematch.
Lewis was already on the decline but still dangerous. I wish they had fought two years earlier. This was the only time when Vitaly was seriously challenged. After that, Vitaly kinda breezed through everyone after Lewis retired.
Monday mrn - January 3, 2022.
This fight caused Lennox to retire. But In my opinion the best heavyweight ever.
Absolutely. Got no problem with Lewis retiring with no rematch. He's the champ & he chose to go out on top. He didn't want his last fight to be a loss. Who'd want to? Oh that's right, too many other boxers who don't know when to call it quits. Not only was Lennox the best, he was the smartest. He knew when it was time & he moved on and went out on top.
@@williammorton3359 don’t matter because Lewis was old already.
Jedna z najważniejszych walk w historii boksu. Lewis - dla mnie mistrz wszechczasów i faworyt - miał tu poważne problemy, i to on był w tej walce na skraju nokautu.!

The last really great heavyweight fight.
People in this comment section are acting as though Vitali's cut were a one-in-a-million fluke. Vitali went into this fight and chose to trade punches in the middle of the ring with one of history's hardest and most accurate punchers. He could have used more finesse, given that he was younger and in much better shape. He didn't. Lewis bashed him in the face repeatedly. He got cut. What else could anyone expect?
For the experts Vitaly fought better…
@@EazyIsi The point I'm trying to make here is that Lewis drew upon his skill, courage, and massive physical gifts to find a way to win against a comparably skilled, far younger, and far better prepared opponent. There's no denying that Vitali fought with more style than Lewis in this match. But to act as though the outcome were some one-in-a-million fluke is absurd. A lucky punch can open up a small cut. But it takes a lot more than luck to make a world-class boxer like Vitali look like someone who had just survived a gruesome car crash within six rounds.
Vitali retired Lewis. Lewis was beat up as well but didn't show it!
@@quentincrisp6933 I don't really disagree with you here. I'm just trying to say that the outcome of this fight wasn't a fluke.
When the match was stopped viltali was leading 3 points ahead of Lewis....
Klitscko might of won if not for ref interference but would of been seriously injured because Lewis was targeting that open wound!
Vitali held a perfect career record as this was stopped due to a cut.

Like most fighters who have an outstanding advantage, Klitschko failed to develop real boxing skills, he just relied on his reach, size and brute strength to bludgeon his opponents from up high, I say he was some sort of a bareknuckle brawler.. That works until he meets someone who has size, power, just like him and above all, skills.
@@DakarBlues Yeah absulutely. This is actually my point.

Lennox Lewis has a longer reach (2.13m) and is only 4 centimeters shorter than Vitali.
Lewis was 38 and hadn't prepared properly. He could still occasionally go into beast mode though!
настоящее рубилово
Кличко супер
What a warrior Lennox is and Vitali of course who was ahead on points. But the damage Lennox caused ended the fight that's boxing. Well done Lennox for refusing to give in!
Refusing to give in. Exactly, and hats off to him for it. Refused a rematch too lol
Wow, what a battle!
Lewis was already older in that fight . But he still managed to beat a young Klitschko. Who basically beat every1 after lewis retired . Shows how good the 90s boxers were .
Great fight
Much love from Ghana Africa

Lennox lewis was 38 years old in this fight and klitshcko was 32 and he still managed to beat him so if a old lennox lewis beat klitschko imagine what a prime young lennox lewis would do to him lennox lewis one of the best boxers of all time
Lewis wasn't that great during his early years...y didn't he fight Tyson then?!
Late 90's early 00's is where he really showed his skill
@@user-jn7bq8wh1e he did fight tyson he beat him and I think it was 1999
@@user-jn7bq8wh1e lewis beat klitschko Frank bruno he beat holyfield twice and he beat mercer lewis is a top fighter and he beat ruddick bowe he beat all these top fighters
@@amma9518 he fought Tyson in 2002, when he had no technique and was slower and already done for..
Lewis most likely couldn't have been able to handle prime Tyson
I'm no expert but most analysts say Lewis retired to avoid a loss from a rematch with Vitali!
Even in this Vitali was ahead by points ..so he clearly didn't wasn't to give him another shot
@@amma9518 there's no discounting the fact that he was a great technical fighter who could take punishment from the best..
If it wasn't stopped, maybe history would say differently, or if there was a second meeting, but unfortunately, Lenox would rather hang up his boxing gloves than have a second drawn fight.
Slugfest at its best. This is the type of fights that end career!
Klitschko should’ve stuck to his own style, instead of standing in the ring tanking punches…I seen fighters do the same crap against a 50 year old George Forman, and regretted it.
Klitschko trying to box Brawler style cost him the fight, and could’ve cost him his eye…I hope he learned his lesson from this experience.
Lewis won that hard fight Klitschko did a good job stopping him throwing that right hand
Видно что льюис акцентировал на рассечении, оказалось не так прост кличко. В целом бой отличный!
title misleading - KNOCKOUT is something else
Lewis too old, heavy, and slow here. You can almost see him thinking from early on, ‘I ain’t doing this again…’
Not knockout, this is TKO
Виталька красавчег дал прикурить как следуеет...
My favorite heavyweight fight. Both in top form.
Not having a rematch was d biggest mistake of boxing history
Хорошо что сегодня пятница
А не завтра как вчера 😂
Там в одном моменте будущий мэр Киева нехило одиночным правым встряхнул гоголь-моголь Льюису. Любой другой соперник наверное вздремнул бы от такого удара
Ööö0
Для обоих тяжелая схватка к концу, как бы череп удачно проинсталировать..
Точно так же как Льюис апперкотом, предыдущие соперники падали как груши))
@@user-iu2sj2di1h ну да. Тайсон от подобного всхрапнул как миленький
Братья Кличко молодцы
Wow , that was a great fight. The fight should have continued.
Had this fight went on longer, lewis would have won
Херовая техника у Витальки даижения однообразные по корпусу не бьет
Да, это так!
Но и бои все выигрывал
what a brutal fight ❤
Knockout is rather misleading. The fight was stopped on a cut caused by punches, which is a TKO. Up to the then, the fight was very close. Both Lennox Lewis and Vitali (The older, bigger) Klitschko were great fighters and great guys.
Lennox Lewis last fight was the hardest fight in his career. Klitschko was better and was ahead on points. Two great fighters.
What a great warriors.
I don't think either fighter even attempted a body punch unless they were clinched lol
True they are both trained to be tall boxers
What a clash of two giants - would have been great to see all 12 rounds xD
Lennox definitely was a tough cookie, could see him beating wilder, fury and joshua. Maybe usyk too
