Klitschko certainly proved that he has heart. Both fighters proved that you need more than two weeks to prepare for a fight in order to have some strategy going in. The fight resembled a bar brawl more than a boxing match.
That said, we'll get Lewis-Klitchko II on ppv whenever they decide to air it (and whenever Vitaly's face is healed from the gashes he received from Lennox's left).

I felt bad for Klitschko, but I couldn't believe they didn't stop the bout early, title fight or no. That was a nasty gash above Klitschko's eye. The rest of his face didn't look much better. Hopefully he'll be able to return to the ring soon.
While Klitschko may have won some fans, I think the fight revealed more about Lewis's lack of preparation than it did about Klitschko's skill level. Neither fighter looked sharp and I remain unconvinced about Klitschko's abilities.
