    What happened to all the "experts" who said Vitali has no footwork, has no punch variety and boxes as static as a robot?

    He put on a masterful performance tonight. World class footwork, a 250lbs giant dancing around the right never letting Arreola come into range to land a SINGLE right hand. Vitali threw and landed all types of punches. Jabs, left hooks, uppercuts, right straight and cross. EVERYTHING. From all angles. Arreola didn't even see half of them coming.

    There shouldn't be any comments like that because Vitali showed great boxing ability. It was one of his most impressive fights because because he put in a lot of work in there and looked like he could go the full 12 with no problem.

    Vitali moved great tonight. He looked a bit stiff in the Peter fight, but tonight he was a lose goose.

    Looked as good as ever. And at 38 years old. Movement, stamina, speed, reflexes, counterpunching, punch output, punch aresenal, etc.

    Vitali was a HW version of PBF today. Unreal. He just does whatever he has to to win, and he was far from his best tonight.

    No, Vitali can throw combinations. Floyd doesn't do that any more.

    His footwork isn't world class folks, let's be real.

    It's impressive for a very big guy to do that, I suppose. And it works, especially against slow-plodding Peters and Arreola. Seriously, George Foreman has faster footspeed at 45 than both of those fighters. Vitali looked awkward which largely worked for him. His arm-punching works because he is strong, but his power is definitely overrated. Wlad hits much harder I think. Arreola must have an all time great chin now I guess... at least since Walker put him down and Vitali hits WAY HARDER... lol.

    Vitali has very good upper body movement for a 6'7 dude, no doubt.

    He does fight like a robot and is very upright, stiff etc. Everyone knows that. I don't think there's much use in posting MORE about a subject that has been beaten to death. :huh
