For example Vitali claims he could have KO'd Adamek early but he wanted to give the crowd more than a few rounds. He also seemed annoyed at Solis and that the crowd didn't get their moneys worth with the one round KO. He said he would have Chisora out of there in maximum 6 rounds but as we know, that fight proved a lot tougher for him than he thought (perhaps, due to a shoulder injury, showing signs of age and was against a guy with a great chin) Wlad I think definitely can blast guys out quickly, but his safety first style prohibits him from doing this. Do you think they try to give fans a show and a value for money/maybe please tv networks.
Not drag out. Vitali is a liar. Vitali took 10 rounds for the awful Sosnowski also. 7 for Gomez,12 for Briggs,12 for Johnson etc Vitali can't KO some of these guys with arm punches. Look at what Haye did to Chisora vs Vitali! And Wladimir is just too cautious to go for the kill. 4 rounds for Mormeck? LOL! Wlad should have and could have done it in round 2. Wlad often has guys hurt and simply wont finish them. That HBO fight from a few years ago,he dropped the guy and then let him go the distance! WTF?
Vitali probably could have blasted Adamek out in round 2 like he said, but think about the situation. In his last fight he was in with a pretty hyped gold medal winning Solis who only made it 1 round. He then goes to Poland in front of 55 thousand people, if he were to have only 3 round in 2 fights it doesn't benefit him due to his age, and people don't get as much value for the ticket.
