The Vitali of ten years ago is not the Vitali of today. He looked slowand old against a shop-worn Briggs.
Slow and old? The man is 39 and he averaged a punch every 3 seconds of the fight that went 12 rounds. He didn't gas in the process either of dishing out some crazy punishment, while taking none in return. Anyone over 35 is going to be slower than they were 10 years ago, but to say he was slow on Saturday is just stupid. But you're right, he's not the Vitali of 10 years ago. He's even more dominant, more skilled, and more successful today than he was back then, and that speaks a lot for a professional athlete.
I agree. The only way to beat Vitali is too walk through his punches and destroy his confidence. Arreola would have had him too if it wasn't for that B.S. abrupt stoppage. Vitali was ready to quit in his corner, you could see it in his eyes, they even had the butterfly stitches ready.
Don't say that my brother, K's fan will hunt you down and beat you to death, for them is no way one of them can lose, even though they had been KOD, quit and their face had been rearranged inside the ring.
Wow, this board is something else. I'm glad to finally find people that share my point of view. For the past year I thought I was the only one who saw that Vitali was ready to quit against Arreola. These K fans are blind, man. I blame it on their hypnotic homo love, turned the world gay with K fever. We know the truth though, brother.
Chris was walking him down no doubt, and bully boy Vitali took the easy way out. Did anyone notice how he was throwing punches with both arms freely right up until the quit job?
To be fair, I don't think I've seen a Vitali fight where it didn't look like he wanted to quit. Did you see him at the end of the Briggs fight? Never have I seen a fighter so discouraged and cowardly, I bet if it went just one more round we would have saw a New Champion as Vitali sat in his corner with butterfly stitches.."ah, it hurts too much." Than he'll of course get up and throw a fit, pretending like he wants to fight. His act is so predictable.
