Yeah, I was expecting Vitali to come out southpaw for rounds 7/8/9 and then step it up a little towards the end of the fight, getting the stoppage in the 12th, just as you say. Lewis doesn't know how lucky he is.
Do you mean is he going to carry him on his shoulders when he looses to him? Why you really think Chisora will win? lol
I don't think Vitali would have used southpaw, but I learned after the Sam Peter fight that I should never doubt Vitali (and yes I am guilty of thinking that Vitali wouldn't stop Peter in which I still feel bad about it) and he probably could have went southpaw and kicked Lewis' ass just like he was in the 6 rounds that they fought.
Quality of opposition has everything to do with it. I think Vitali's quality has been #2 all time. Nobody has fought big guys like Vitali has. Muhammad Ali was just fighting a bunch of CW's today.
The idea carrying of another fighter is absurd! Why would any boxer want to go any longer in the ring where anything could happen; a thumb to the eye, major cut, low blow, shoulder injury? the truth is Big V's power is way overrated, his comp sucks and he wears them down. Wlad hits much harderthan older Bros, but wlad is such a ***** he is afraid to get hit. He has reverted to basically a glorified Olympic style boxer that mainly now uses the 1-2. that is good enough in this current **** ere of heavyweights
See, this is the problem with the ******ation problem on ESB. Some guy is bitching because a fighter is too successful and that he should change his style to get hit more. This is another guy on ESB who is the "I've never went to a boxing gym before, BUT I WATCH EVERY BOXING MATCH AND I KNOW EVERYTHING!!!"
If attacked in the wild by a Vitali, here is how to survive. - Put on a Chris Byrd mask - Walk towards Vitali This should be enough to make him quit
yes youre right a terriffic list of fighters. I was always surprised that he never went to cruiser or lightheavy at earlier tage and become multi champ it owuld be hard but possible if he wanted it
LESSTHANawesome, you are the biggest idiot out there! I did not say that he style was not successful! I said that he had more power than his Bro. He could KO this **** division faster if he did alter his style and not fight like a *****! LL fought like a man and took more risk and that's part of made him great. Personally I would rather be great and successful rather than just successful!
