Even after a one sided boxing clinic, Vitali showed total respect to Arreola. He said one day he will be champ and that he was very strong. Vitali and also Wlad are real role models. Both always come in top shape. Both show tremendous athleticism in the ring for such huge men. Both respect the sport and are good ambassadors for the sport. Both never are in any kind of crazy out of the ring antics, involved in **** or drugs or anythign else disrespectful. I think merchant was right, if these guys were from the USA you would see them on billboards, in clothing lines and likely in some kind of nutrition ads. These guys personify what good heavyweight champions are about and i hope historically they are seen as two great fighters who are both top 50 and h2h nightmares for anyone.
Agree that they are better people than most athletes and should be respected for the way they carry themselves professionally and privately, but no they would not be heroes in America. They are systematic and dont take chances. Wlad's fights especially are goddamn boring.
And Wlad is tapping Hayden Panettiere's ass. You cant get any better than that. Klit bros are the best bros since mario and luigi
true, they are classy and good role models....Is they were from texas or NY or CA, they would be big stars, make you wonder whats up America
that's why the klitschko brothers are my all-time favorite heavyweights. not because of their skills, but because of the way they carry themselves in and out of the ring.
Vitali ALSO admitted in another interview, the one with the Maxboxing guy) that Arreola did hurt him from a left jab. He said he was shocked by it as well. Klitschkos are always known for class.
Its just natural. I ain't saying its fair but its just natural that Americans would show greater support for American athletes.
