Did Lennox really win?

I don't know how many of you guys are into boxing, but I love watching those bulls hitting themselves! ;)
The last fight was between Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko.
After the 6th round Vitali got a tko and how I think not fair at all.
How do you guys think about it? I am not a fan of Klitschko even though I am living in germany! ;)
 
Didn't see the fight, but I did hear an interview with Vitaly though. He was obviously gutted by the whole thing. He kept saying that he was able to see fine despite what it may have looked like to the ring doctor. He handled himself with class though and didn't go off too much. Just said that he thought that Lennox didn't give him as much respect as he should have (which partialy accounts for Lennox's high weight), but now maybe he will. Also said that he felt that Lennox was slowing down and that he thought that he could wear him out and knock him out in the last round.

Despite the language barrier, he presented himself well I thought. From his last three fights, I think it's time for Lennox to either get his head back in the game, or just retire. It's obvious that he's just going through the motions right now, and I'd hate to see him go out like a punk since he actually has been a pretty good champ.
 
Yeah, Lennox was a good fighter. He beat every great name so far. But it looks like he is taking things really easy.
But anyway, I was surprised when I saw Vitaly being able to "disturb" Lennox quite easily. Noone in germany expected this. And I would have loved to see the fight go on. Have the slight thought there was more marketing-strategy than real boxing that made the fight get stopped too early. I mean, now that ppl saw Lennox having problems with that guy the whole thing got a Rocky-touch. Guess this way those managers can earn lot more money...
 
Vitali was on The Tonight Show last night (well, couple nights ago—Tuesday June 24th), but I missed it. It would have been interesting to see what he had to say about the fight. That was a nasty cut he received!
 
Well, he was blaming it on Lennox giving him some kind of head-hits.
But as Lennox defended: how can someone get 4 or more bad cuts out of one hit by head?
I think Vitali just made up this one..
But he was correctly complaining about the early break. I have seen other fights, with worse cuts and they went on. Esspecially when Vitali had a higher score at that moment. It's a pity...
