    Great fight!! I can see both outcomes. I can see bowe on top and late on vitali tagging him hard and wobbling him. Would bowe have enough rounds in the bag to take a close points win or would vitali get to him or maybe win enough late rounds to edge it. I really don't know. But it's a great war whatever happens. If I had to pick I'd edge Bowe on points after being really hurt and maybe even down

    There might be a scenario where Bowe damage Vitali bad like in the Lewis fight. Bowe is a veteran of x2 Holyfield fight and Holyfield went 24 RDs with Lewis who stopped Vitali in 6. They are all more proven than Vitali.

    Do you derieve anything from the Lewis loss or do you view prime Bowe as lesser than past prime Lewis.
    Baring in mind prime Lewis had a tougher time against faded Holyfield than Bowe did against best ever version of Holyfield.

    If Bowe can land his jab, he will land his right hand and he will win the fight. If Vitali can take away Bowe's jab like Golota did, he will win.
