It looked like nothing but it was in fact an accurate counter punch with full force that Vitali didn't see coming. Alot of boxers would have went down from this. But yeah anyone can get ko'd especially in HW.
I agree with treadstarter, Vitali is ready to go, wouldn't suprise me if he gets ko'd. He is turning 42 next summer and his reflexes and overall speed unfortunately is way past expire date. This could mean some exciting matchups however since he's no longer "unbeatable". It still would take a great fighter to beat him though as he is very smart and has a lot of experience in adjustng to different styles. IMO he should just retire, nothing more to prove.
I think it's highly unlikely he will be knocked out completely even at this advanced age of his career. I don't think the Marquez-Pacquiao fight is a good comparison as to the fact that Marquez style has always suited Pacquiaos aggressiveness. The last opponent who's style really troubled Vitali and stopped him was Lewis (maybe Byrd?). I just don't see anyone (even Haye) who could potentially stop him. But in saying that, This IS Boxing and anything is possible as demonstrated last weekend.
Indeed. Usually this is what happens when you get hit by Sanders' left This content is protected This content is protected
I have never seen this perspective before, the original live broadcast had an angle from behind Sanders' back where it looked nothing as hard as above. Is the above from a replay? Props to you my friend, you proved your point :blackeye
Vitali has been past prime since his comeback and looking more past prime with every fight. I hope he stays retired. He boosted his standing a lot with his 11 win run between age 37-41, there's nothing more to do
