He was just being smart. Adamek was looking for Vitali to punch himself out and maybe get carried away by head hunting, instead Vitali played it smart. Used his advantage with the jab to perfection, the longer Adamek waited for a mistake, the more punched up he got. Vitali's discretion, was good fighting.
Vitali is evil and worships Satan, the dark lord. After the fight, he cut a new born baby's throat and drew a Pentagram with the blood. I hope hell exists, so Vitali can go there.
A can't miss PPV event: Vitali's wife vs Carl Froch's GF, in a no-holds-barred hot oil wrestling match. I'm there.
I can't believe people using the benefit of hindsight to analyse this fight. I could see it a mile off. Vitali would be in no trouble from a smaller heavyweight, let alone a blown up light heavy. Calzaghe would clown Adamek, he is not a legit opponent at heavy, despite the bull**** rankings. Vitali would have toyed with prime Tyson, the guy is a ****ing beast. And Tyson fans, tell me how he would have got inside Vitali's monster jab, and dented his Iron Chin.
I think he coulda had him outta there as early as 2 or 3 hell in the 1st he had him in some trouble Adamek gave him some movement in the 3rd and 4th then vitali in 5 and 6 had him on the verge then he took 7 and 8 off he did the same thing in the briggs fight had him very hurt and took a round off he came at him in the 9th and 10th and ended it, i predicted 8th round and he really could have but took a breather
:good For all that his work rate for his age is impressive, Vitali just is not a full 12x3 of hard effort type of guy.
