    Vitali gets stronger as times go on.

    He looks built to be a 15 round championship fighter. He beat the tar out of Hoffman and in the last round almost had him out. One or two more rounds and Hoffman ends on his knees.

    Vitali is nearly unbeatable

    He really made the most of his height with that high guard and crouch

    Vitali's combos make him look like the main character in a PS1 fighting game.

    There was serious talk about him fighting Valuev at one point.

    Might have been interesting.

    Weight wise prime Lewis and prime Vitali are around the same and Lewis weighed more on the night but Vitali is taller.

    Absolutely. Did you not see them in the ring or at the weigh in ? Vitali was clearly the taller man by about 2 inches. Vitali is a legit 6'7
