Vitali's "celebration" is one of the most embarrassing displays of misplaced self-righteousness in boxing history.
It was very bad behavior. I would never been a Wlad fight if he would act like this. And this wasn´t the only bad sportsmanship from Vitali.
Volodomyr would never act like such an attention-whoring peacock. Neither would Lennox. Vitali should model himself after his kid bro and his conqueror.
:good Vitali can be very happy to have Wlad at his side. Maybe without him he would have loose his licence for attacking Lewis after the fight was stopped. Or attacking Solis after the ref. stopped the fight.
Please refer me to a situation comparable to this one involving Ali? When did he make an ass of himself being a sore loser and playing it up to the crowd as though he'd just accomplished something incredible? IIRC, he was actually rather humble in defeat. He gave Frazier loads of credit for the FOTC and even classified himself as prime with no excuses - and said "Norton whupped me".
ali humiliated his chanceless opponents by playing with them. the same with roy jones or prince nasseem. this is humble? http://img.over-blog-kiwi.com/0/15/26/92/201210/ob_94d3c7_muhammad-ali-vs-sonny-liston.jpg of course he was humble in defeat, because his opponents stoped him, by outboxing or koing him, not the doctor. still Vitali >>> Wlad :bbb
This content is protected you don't lose a fight and still be able to do this in front of the crowd and be cheered. Lewis was a total idiot in the post fight interview anyway, sounding like a bitter moron and ending up accepting a rematch (LOL). The crowd knew who would have won, that's why people cheered Vitali and made Lewis look like a joke.
The last thing Vitali should model himself after is two boxers he would both school in a match. Especially since Vitali is actually much more humble than Lewis ever was and is a respected politician. Lennox "I'll accept the rematch" Lewis is a known liar.
It surprises me how people typically group the brothers' personalities together, if they're praising them as "nice guys" or berating them. They have very different styles in and outside the ring.
