In a fight vs. Haye will Vitali crash to the floor again like he did against Adamek?

    It seems Vitali collapsed and crashed to the floor in round 6 or so vs. Adamek without a punch landing. Never seen a fighter implode like that for no apparent reason, like if someone pulled a rug underneath him. This wasn't a simple stumble. It seriously looked like Vitali lost coordination over his entire body for a second there.

    Is Vitali losing it? He seems past prime and Haye as limited as he may be just may meet him at the right time.

    I thought he fell because of losing his balance due to being a little clumsy and having bad footwork

    Yes he definitely is losing it ... I cant imagine someone could
    lose his coordination for a second and still has it. :deal
    Vitaly is done and should retire immediately, next time he might
    lose his coordination for a two seconds and that would be disaster
    because Haye could catch him at that time for sure:

    Stop the presses.

    'Boxer falls over after losing balance in ring, signs of decline.'

    lol come on man, I'm not a Vitali fan, but he's hardly the first boxer to lose balance and fall over in the ring is he

    Wasn't there some Doctor in Israel who tried to garner some fame by saying that the Vitali in the Adamek fight was showing early signs of Parkinsons? :-(

    He's liable to slip on Haye's slick blackness...

    Don't know where he was from, but I read it too.

    Anyway, even though he looked very good with Adamek, I suspect that a pretty serious and sudden decline is behind the corner for Vitali. Haye, at his best a fast, powerful and accurate counter puncher can quite possibly use that imo.

    He didn't just stumble around like a drunken sailor. Far from it. I'm exaggerating here, but he seemingly crashed to the floor face down like if he was unconscious.

    Even Adamek was shocked there for a second :lol:

    Too bad ref was shocked as well, normally
    he could count Vitaly out at that time.

    I don't recall a black fighter ever collapsing like that ever. Vital is lacking the slickness factor.

    You're wasting your time maaaaan. These people just don't get it - they just think slick blackness is some satirical take on the forums ridiculous over emphasis of the importance of race in boxing. They don't realise that a slick and black attack will **** white boys up. But they will, and by then it'll be too late to do anything about it.*





    *not that anything can be done about it

    If Vitaly steps into the ring with Vitaly I expect a cold shower for many K'fans/Haye haters. Vitaly is a very good HW, but he is old and has feasted on weak opponents. Haye is a prime and talented opponent, and I think that will show.

    Vitali was in awe of Adamek's cheen and momentarily caved in on himself mentally when he realized Adamek would be able to absorb punishment for many more rounds.

    Against Haye, he will have no such fears.

    Adamek has no cheen. Vitali can only throw arm punches now.
