Heavyweight Tourney: Final: Vitali Klitschko .Vs. Jack Dempsey

Dempsey by KO. Early.

 

I rank Vitali above Flynn and Meehan in a H2H sense if not on resume, so I'd say he's at least got a chance. But styles make fights...

 

I think this would be a competitive and entertaining fight. Dempsey would probably eat a lot of punches coming in but once he closes the distance he'd maul Vitali to the body. It would be a war of attrition. Dempsey would be cut by the mid rounds but Vitali would be bleeding internally due to the heavy body damage. Eventually I think Dempsey takes Vitali's legs out from under him. Klitschko would find himself more and more often getting caught with big shots upstairs. Vitali takes an 8 count in the 12th round and the ref stops it after Dempsey jumps on him and lands 11 unanswered punches. Vitali slumps to the canvas and they take him out on a stretcher, while an exhausted Dempsey briefly celebrates his victory before going to the hospital to have his head stitched back together.

Either that or Dempsey KO's him in the first round with his first landed left-hook to the chin.

 

Klit by KO in round 10......... Dempsey's face is a bloody pulp and his nose is busted............

Old-Timers and Buzzards NEED to wake-up and smell the coffee and get with the modern day program....... Jack Dempsey was 6' tall and a solid 188 pounds in his prime.... His skills were ordinary by today's standards.... A dude like Vitali Klit would eat Dempsey alive in a time machine......

i think vitali has by today's standards less than average skill's
his chin is good but his jab is not that good his foot work is slow
he showed limited and robotic punch combonations and a lack of
boxing savvy in the johnson fight



Mr Butt

 

And he (V.K.) still won every goddamn round against a defensively minded and savy 242 lb. Kevin Johnson.........

People who think Johnson stinks as a fighter need to look at it a different way....... Yes, Johnson's offense was awful against the hulking V.K., but his defense and savy was well intact........ Its hard to look good against a skilled survivor........ Johnson showed good skill in surviving...........

ALSO!!! V.K. seems to feed off pressure fighters who go on the attack........ V.K. counters them guys rather well....... But V.K. has proven he can press / force the issue too, but he's slightly outta his comfort zone there......... V.K. shines bright when his opponent / victim wants to mix-it-up..........

MR.BILLbbb:thumbsup

 

no i still see vitali being to slow and robotic and getting beat probably retired by his corner with facial damage.

hope you have a great new years eve:good

 

It would be a very exciting fight... i see Dempsey winning the early rounds and stunning Vitali, but the intensity of his attack decreases with time while Klitschko keeps pumping 70 heavy handed punches per round. He finds the mark more and more while Dempsey gets tired from constantly having to lunge in at a backing Vitali Klitschko. By the 10th, his face is battered and his left eye closed from all the jabs. Dempsey goes down but it is a slip as he leaped in with his great left hook. Mostly, it's a sign of his fatigue after giving up 60lbs and seven inches in height for so many rounds. During the 12th, Jack is defenceless and at the receiving end of a merciful referee stoppage, while staying on his feet the entire time.

 

I think Dempseys speed and power and agression make this a very close fight. Vitali takes the outside but Dempsey jump in with sporatic flurries. a Gruiling affair. Dempsey SD

 

I love Jack Dempsey too, but what a legendary figure he's become over time........ For the first half of the 20th Century, I'll buy into his greatness..... But come post 1960, he is not in his league or element..........

Dempsey wins by 1st round, 1st degree murder. How did that big ape get to the finals, anyway?

 

When was Dempsey ever even cut in a fight(he was the brine Master) are you sure its not the other way around on cuts

 

Bum,

Dempsey never gets to V.K.'s face cuz he never gets past the ramrod jab or right-cross of Klit's........... V.K. may appear awkward or stiff and upright, but that's just how he fights....... I've never seen a tall dude like the 6' 7" V.K. use his height so well.......... NO!!! Jesse Willard is no answer, either.......... Klit and Willard play ball in two different parks and leaugues...... No comparison.........
:deal

How exactly is Vitali - the man that struggled to time Juan Carlos Gomez with anything for the first 5 or 6 rounds - going to time a bobbing & weaving Jack Dempsey? The only reason Vitali was landing on Arreola and Peter is because their head movement is non-existent.

 

Dempsey 6 ' 1''.
