Vitali's injuries supposedly have him very immobile, hence why he was so eager to take a fight with such a stationary fighter like Samuel Peter. Makes sense to say the least, due to multiple injuries over the years. Might be trouble against someone who can move and box.
I wouldn't have said Peter really checked Vitali, but Lewis did with THAT uppercut. Jeez.............. Gomez is pretty underrated and look at the silly KO loss he suffered. But NOBODY wanted to face him at cruiser - at heavy he has tended to be under the radar, but clearly a threat.
Gomez might surprise us all. He was a great at CW, has a deeper resume than Haye actually just not the mouth. I expect Vitali to win by late KO though after getting outboxed early.
People are FARRRRR underrating Gomez here. To an enormous extent. The one problem with him is, he doesnt show up for every fight, but he is a very good fighter when he does. If Vitali gets a focused Gomez, look for this to be a MUCH tougher fight then most are expecting. I still favor Vitali, but not NEARLY as highly as the majority it seems.
I think Gomez will do it he provides different problems then Peter. Juan is a very good boxer who will move and has a excellent jab.
