Wladimir Klitschko was terrible against taller fighter, Vitali walks him down and catches up to him and stops him, Wladimir would try and use his tactics what he used against smaller opponents like jumping back with his arms out to stop them getting into range, but Vitali would just punch over it
i do not know what kind of analysis this is.Wlad was a better boxer than Vitali, better fundamentals.
He didn’t know how to use those fundamentals against a taller boxer who could box at range, you could tell he found it very awkward, he didn’t know how to set himself in the right way to land punches, he didn’t know how to use his jab, he was just befuddled
Both are not used to fight guys their own height.They are not comfortable doing it. In the Lewis, Vitali did not get away with a lot of things defensively he did against shorter guys. With his lean back movements, Lewis caught him anyway
The thing is, Vitali is taller than Wladmir so Vitali would not have to fight like that, and Wladimir wouldn’t be able to take advantage anyway because he himself doesn’t know how to fight against taller fighters, his usual style worked against Wach because he doesn’t know how to use his height and reach
Wlad was the better boxer but Vitali was the better fighter and that's what it would come down. They match up fairly well, Wlads jab off set slightly by Vitali's awkward lean back style. Wlad's concussive power, offset by Vitali's chin and general toughness. Wlad was the more athletic but Vitali was made of granite - rarely hurt in a fight and only really struggled to stay vertical Vs Lewis. I can see Wlad racking up points but Vitalis power and awkward shots eventually slowing him down for a ref stoppage
Wladimir Klitschko said in an interview that he is 6’5 and Vitali Klitschko is at least 6’7, some say he is 6’8, but I reckon he’s 6’7 so he has a 2 inch height advantage approximately
