It's probably been posted or seen before but you know when I watch this video I think it pretty much sums up Vitali as a boxer & his fighting spirit & why ultimately Haye will not leave the ring the victor next year. [yt]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vKROyCsTG_s&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vKROyCsTG_s&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/yt] Anyway the reason I bring this up is because I honestly think David Haye is so far out of his league here in this fight he simply has almost no chance of beating Vitali but at the same time I do admire his resolve/determination but I just cannot give him the expected 'W'. Haye is none the less a gem and the HW division needs his charisma - even in loss he'll be a great mascott for the division. Questions ofc arise with Vitali most notably his kness & injury as well as the fact he was VERY slow vs Peter (whom I always maintained was rubbish I don't know why so many people on ESB loved him so much........ofc none admit this now which is typical :S) but his slowness could have been due to him just feeling Peter out after a 4 year layoff. Unquestionably though the factor Haye's going to have to face is this: Vitali is in many ways like the Hulk in that you hit him he's just going to get angry and come at you harder; he has never been put down or knoked out as a pro. That's his way that's always been his way and I feel that even in light of his inactivity & slowness this will be the deciding factor & why Haye will ultimately be walked down and destroyed. After all Mormeck walked down Haye and Knocked him down so why can't Vitali?
Haye might taste canvas a few times, but it's still going to be the most eagerly anticipated and exciting fight in the division since Vitali-Lewis/Lewis-Tyson. Even if it only went 2-3 Rounds, Haye will throw more and and cause more problems than Peter did in 8. Cant wait.
Yeah. I liked that video, though it was a little gay. I tell you what it helped me with is the degree to which Vitali's punching has improved. He's a beast now. What a puncher he's turned into, a really good one.
Nothing wrong with those videos :yep; most men could only dream to be that physically gifted. And you know it's not through steroids because of their overall mass distribution & cardiovascular levels. If they want to show their bodies off why not? I can't box & can never hope to I'm the wrong sex but boxing has inspirerd me to train physically and hand on my heart it has given me an inner peace I've never known my entire life. It's true what they say about mind & body living as one. Boxing inspired me to exercise & eat a correct diet and the results its given me mentally has at least equalled or surpassed what I've received physically. I think these two are great ambassadors for the sport. Intelligent, articulate, respeftul, skilled, always physically in perfect shape + they clearly live life to the fullest. It's veering off the thread topic somewhat but if they can motivate people to take up the principles of boxing like the sport has motivated me so many people will benefit and that's only a good thing don't you agree?
I am amazed at how some say his power is overrated, given how he batters those opponents all over the ring. His shots were knocking the 250 pound Williams's entire body around as if he were a rag doll.
