Haha, roflmao. Klitschko did put up a good fight. That I'll give you.

A couple of things to point out however.

Lewis was leaning on the ref in the FIRST ROUND. He was either ill prepared for this fight or he was drunk. Simply stated, he was not prepared.

I said at the start of this fight that this could be another Rahman fight, given that Lewis hasn't fought in a year and could be ripe for the picking. Lewis however hit him with an uppercut in the 6th round that clearly showed that Klitschko was overmatched and ready to go down for the count. Bloody eye or not.

Lewis had 2 WEEKS to prepare for a strategy against this guy.

If you were watching the exchange at he end of the fight, Klitschko was asking for a rematch and Lewis must have agreed because Klitschko mouthed the words "promise" two or three times.

It will be a big money fight. One that Lewis didn't have on the table prior to this one.

Lewis will be prepared, just like the Rahman rematch, and he'll destroy Klitschko.
