Chisora keeps saying Vitali became a different fighter after the shoulder injury and it's made Vitali a weaker fighter. Is there any truth in this or is it just Del Boy trying to play mind games.
I think he's massively increased his punch output but reduced his power shots due to it which has probably made him a better fighter, certainly harder to beat.
Yeah, he's right. Vitali isn't anywhere near the same man that fought Lewis in 2003, no matter how much commentators and fanboys try to claim it. He's benefitting from a shockingly bad division at the moment. If a 2003 Vitali was around he'd probably never get fights, he'd have to get a day job. It's hard enough getting opponents now as an awkward, arm punching old man. A genuinely powerful, aggressive mean machine.... **** that
He has definitely lost a certain bit of mobility with age and certainly lost the ability to really turn his shots over. He never puts his shoulder into them anymore or over exerts himself when throwing preferring volume over power
