I thought Corrie Sanders had a better first round to be honest and that was from Vitali at his peak best
The larger heaviest tend to mature later. Vitali when he meet Hide was professional for less than three years. He also lacked some experience because his opponents were being stopped quickly. If you watched his fights he became better with time. That's why I say he was not at his best in this fight. Does this make any sense to you? I would say pre-prime on the way up.
