Vitali wasn't robbed, he got his face taken apart by an aged Lewis. He did the smart thing retiring, you cant blame him for that.

[@daweilee1986]

Lennox lost to McCall for 2 reasons. 1st is Manny Steward noticed he had a rude stance and would take a split second longer to land a right hand, so he trained McCall to throw a short right hand simultaneously with Lewis and he would beat him to the punch which he did. Second is that Lewis was at his best when he took away his opponents weapons early then gradually broke ppl down and took them out. His trainer was a loud mouth motivational speaker type like Steve Crocodile Fitch and advised Lewis to go out there and take McCall out. Now, nobody knocks out Oliver McCall. He’s sparred hundreds of rounds with Tyson and nobody ever put him down. Terrible advice!!! Lewis could’ve kept it long and peppered him with the jab then slowly started to let the rest of the arsenal go and he would’ve beaten him on points or stopped him on his feet late on. The rematch was bad timing for McCall but we saw what Lewis with the right tactics does to him.

I think AJ thought that HE was going to be better than Lewis and that just shows how arrogant Joshua is. He really has thought his whole career that HE is the best thing ever. You could even still see this arrogance when he was saved by the bell at the end of the first round against Dubois. The bell went and when AJ got up and realised he was saved he stuck his tongue out at Daniel. He was also banging his chest like King Kong while taking another count, as if HE had just knocked Daniel down. WTF? SHEER ARROGANCE.
