    Yes, I noticed Big Dan mentioning the possible injury first.

    To say Chisora would have even lasted to the final bell, had the injury not had happened is ridiculous.

    He would have been put on his ass within 6 rounds against a two armed Vitali.

    40 years old or 30 years old, he's just too good for the rest of the division.

    Yes.

    To still win 10 of 12 rounds against a 28 year old top contender, with one arm.

    Impressive, to say the least.

    I question everything that comes out of Camp Klit.

    Ironic that the only guy really capable of beating either brother, is that other brother.

    I do give Haye a small shot against Vitali, purely for the difference in foot speed.

    Even way past his prime, Vitali is so much better than every other hw, including his brother, he can win with one arm.

    Exactly. In 10 rounds against Arreola Vitali threw 519 jabs in 10 rounds.
    Against Chisora, Vitali threw 258 over 12 rounds. Even the commentators mentioned on the live broadcast that it looked like Vitali had injured himself.

    yeah it was a *****

    the MRI only showed rotator cuff tear.

    after doing rehab for months i still had problems so went for surgery where they discovered a torn labrum, months later i still feel uncomfortable and stiff and PT discovers i have an Impingement.

    The EPIX commentators were pretty good, I always like listening to Roach, and then you have Dan Rafael there too, who does a good job commentating.

    It sure is.


    I mean, let's compare. Helenius and Vitali were basically in the same situation, fighting a "one-armed" fight against Chisora.

    Helenius lost 11 rounds out of 12.
    Vitali won 10 of 12.

    Helenius is 28.
    Vitali is 40.

    Vitali didnt make excuses as to why he didnt use his jab, it was reported from the doctor about the injury.
