Well you see, it's interesting that that is the last time that Vitali was in with an elite fighter his own size, he hasn't even faced any other good fighters his own size. His defence was exposed for everyone to see. Floyd Mayweather is a defensive wizard, so is Bernard Hopkins, Vitali Klitschko is not.
Sanders smacked the **** out of him in the first 1.5 rounds of their fight, until he gassed. I just watched that tonight, and it completely altered my opinion of Vitali. He almost knocked him down, too. He's good at anticipating shots, and he can use distance masterfully. He has no upper body movement and no real 'D' aside from using distance, his arms, clinching, and moving on his feet.
So Sanders gassed after 1 minute of the fight? He landed one lucky shot on Vitali in the whole fight (1st round) and still couldnt finish the mentally disturbed Vitali. He got the **** beat outta him by Vitali. Boxing lesson :deal
Sanders was fluid and fast, and he was tagging Vitali when he engaged. The shot that hurt Vitali was no lucky shot, it was part of a trap that Vitali walked right into. No boxing lesson, just an out-of-shape, grossly underrated fighter gassing too quickly.
Vitali has Ukranian fast twitch neck muscles and a PHD - he is a phsychologist. He reads his opponents mind and dodges his shots. Tyson didn't have a phd or Ukrainian fast twitch.
The Hoffman fight is indeed interesting. Vitali looked somewhat helpless at times against Hoffmans high guard.
Another person trying to change the real facts of a Vitali fight. Vitali easily won rounds 1 and 2, and all Sanders did was try for that lucky big shot. He landed it, but Vitali's chin stood up and that's ALL SANDERS LANDED the whole night and those entire 2 rounds. Vitali dominated when Sanders wasn't gassed out and when he was gassed out.
