yeah, i don't get it here. Wlad is probably the biggest puncher of all time. you can see in his fights, how the guys reacts after the first good right hand, even if it is not completely flush. vitali has a great chin, but he also knows that he can't afford to take flush shots from wlad, and if wlad doesn't has to punch down, he can shoot a real straight right and generate way more power. imo the fight would be a real chess match were vitali would take risks late in the fight. the have both very high ring iqs and know the strenghts of the other one. i would say right now wlad would get the win. against prime vitali it would be tougher but a 50/50 fight. i wonder how david haye could take a couple of wlads shot, i was very surprised
i wasnt i was havin a bit of fun...it was a joke...livin up man....wlad was faster.hits harder.better jab and better footwork..lewis better punch arsenal..better chin..took more risks which payed off..had a motivational problem against lesser opponents...what im saying is better at the things lewis had to beat vitali..im not saying prime for prime wlads beat lewis but it would be one hell of a boxing chess match and if you think lewis walks over wlad your one mistaken man...and im a huge lennox fan..i loved the guy but i cant admit when he would have trouble with someone and wlad would be one of them..
Well big hole in Wlads game is his safety first, he gave to much respect to Haye, just imagine how much would he give to Lennox and if you get to cautious and Wlad does that very often Lennox would take advantage of that. I'm not basing this on Wlads talent he had that to much but his fight mentality is wrong for great fighter!
Well thats what i said, Haye took bombs and did not go down, while Wlad does have great power i dont see him as hardest puncher ever at all, he lands so many punches and than KOs opponent he did not Ko oponent early in who knows how long.
i think wlad holds back to be honest, sometimes you can see how he starts thinking before shooting the right hand and he wants it to be technically perfect, thats why he holds back with pure force
If they werent Brothers I feel that Vitali would grind him down to a late KO. But seeming as they are if they did fight as a farewell for Vitali then it would go to a Wlad decision in an exhibition type match
Vitali by tko. Viatli beats his opponents long before they step in the ring, and one of the reasons why Wlad is so confident going into the fight is having the meanest mother****er on earth towering behind him, grilling the enemy with that terrifying gaze...
I think Wlad may be psyched by Vitali. He's meeting someone who's bigger than him and hits like a mule. He's admitted himself that his chin isn't great, because he knows that no current contender can touch it. He'd think different about Vit, Wlad is a made Boxer and VK is a born fighter. That shows up in the end, Vitali by KO in the 11th, and it's a come from behind stoppage.
Yeah and ahd that Right hand been from Wlad You know that it would have been Lennox 3rd KTFO loss getting one big punch on his chin.
............Wlad is a Defensive Master, an with his power it just unfair.... Vitali could do it, but i think he has tougher fight in front of him, he got more then a punchers chance, because of all things, vitali is a excellent boxer, barly losing any rounds in his whole career. 8-4 or 7-5 for Wlad
