What other fighters fight with their mouth open?

Vitali Klitschko always does it. And inevitably somebody always points it out who's never noticed it and says it's because he was exhausted throughout the fight.

 

Fighting with your mouth open is usually a recipe for disaster. Arthur Abraham does it a fair amount, but then again he's had his jaw broken too. Michael Katsidis seems to do it a lot. Edwin Valero almost always fought with his mouth open, and I always gave him crap for it. Roy Jones did it from time to time in his prime, but it's not a serious impediment if people can't actually hit you on the chin. Gatti used to do it a lot, but that's probably mostly because he got his nose broken every other fight and a man's gotta breathe.

 

Watched the punch in high definition slow motion - it's horrible. He's jaw doesn't half move

 

edwin valero used to do it all the time

 

Muhammad Ali if I'm not mistaking

 

Lennox Lewis had his mouth open a lot if I remember, always looked like he was gulping up oxygen.

 

Vernon Forrest I recall having a HUGE mouth peice that kept his mouth open, I don't know if its the same though.

 

As long as he can bite into the mouthpiece it it's not that bad
But tis Best having the jaw in a position where its close as possible to bieng in its shut position

When fighters attack they should be exhailing so there isn't much reason to have your mouth wide open.

 

i think a lot of fighters fight while breathing through their mouths but it is a bad habit if its too open

 

:rofl

It's funny hearing commentators who clearly don't follow Vitali's fights say "HE'S GASSED! Look at him breathe through his mouth!"

I wonder if breathing through the mouth from round 1 is what helps Vitali keep up his insane work rate?

i guess you have never seen a fighter tired ? and it wasnt open from the 1st round until the 9th

 

First thing I thought of. He is just so relaxed it drops open. He almost looks indifferent at times.
