I think Vitaly is a bit "raw", but he will most likely beat Lewis' brains out. I
saw their fight in L.A., and as I wrote before, the writing was on the wall
for Lewis, who got lucky with the horrible, deep cut over Vitaly's eye.
Lewis was behind, and was being rocked, despite his remarks to the
contrary.
I still feel we are going to see a string of dominant white heavyweights
out of E. Europe the next few years - although you can bet the powers
that be will try and short circuit this. The physical strength of these
people will help them overcome the thick skulls/cranial bone density of
the black heavyweights.
NHB doesn't get the press it should because whites dominate the sport -
although as mentioned before, some contests are trying to change rules
to make it favor thick skulls, making the contests less like a real fight,
and more easily controlled by "judging".
