the old 40 year old who everyone thinks needs to retire now because he looks human against a live wire, still wins 9 or 10 rounds out of 12 and looks that bad , doesnt say much for the guy who fought him....all that does is discredit him
Fury didn't struggle with chisora nor would wlad imo. Remember this fight was derided as a mismatch. Chisora's stock has risen for being competitive but vitali's has dropped for failing to dominate.
I still think Vitali can beat Haye with ease. Haye is to scared to pressure Vitali that way. And I don't think Haye can ko Vitali with one lucky shot. Say what you want but Vitali is hard as hell to hit. I'm not even sure why Haye wants this fight. What does it prove. Even if he wins everyone win say it was because Vitali is old. I think Haye fighting Chisora would be a bigger fight for Haye. Yes Vitali has nothing left to prove. He should retire. He has had a hell of a career. It is to bad he never got his rematch with Lewis. I just would have liked to see that fight once both fighters had time to prepare. I think the HW division is starting to come to life. There are a lot of good prospects coming up. Most are from europe ofcourse but nothing wrong with that.
I think Chisora would give Wlad some problems. Wlad does not like fighters to put pressure on him at all. But Chisora would have to throw a hell of a lot more punches. The only thing about this fight is I think Wlad has the power to KO Chisora. Chisora lacks power but Wlad lacks a chin. I think Wlad wins this fight if Chisora fights like he did tonight. Chisora just did not do near enough tonight. I think Chisora needs to come in the the Wlad fight at about 235 so he will be faster. I think Chisora still has to much weight for his height.
wtf? What fight did you watch. Vitali beat him with nothing more than lead right hands and footwork for most the fight. Raphael and Roach on the EPix version said Vitali was averaging only 4 jabs per round, his footwork looked great and was a major factor in his win.
I agree. Vitali's footwork looked surprisingly good. - But his punches have slowed noticeably. Whether he had bad left shoulder or not, his right has clearly lost its sting. All Vitali can do now is ruin his own legacy. Haye doesn't deserve a shot, and Chisora doesn't deserve a rematch, so Vitali REALLY should retire now, with dignity.
Does it hurt Jackie? It's sad to see yet another British pretender get his ass kicked by a Klitschko isn't it?
:good Absolut true. Vitali is old he should retire and let his brother unify. And than Wlad should retire too.
Vitali did well against a much younger opponent, bt health wise he should retire, or someon is going to hurt him soon.
