Don't know man... Yeah... well he doesn't punch slow.. but he only throws maybe a few punches per round. He moves like in slow motion which makes me fall asleep watching him..
Yes, he is. Plus, he throws punches like he's never stepped in a boxing gym before and I know boxing doesn't need this kind of fighters but.....he's intriguing because a KO can happen at any time, out from nowhere.
To tell the truth, there was the scary KO he scored against a guy named Serin.......h was looking the guy like he didn't know why he was in the ring for or what he was supposed to do....and he throwed a left hook the way a drunk would throw it in a pub fight....it landed on Serin's chin and the por guy looked like Berbick against Tyson when he tried to get up.
virchis lost some muscles, he doesn't look as huge as in smokinjoe's avatar photo anymore. and he is a living statue.
He has recently lost a whole lot of his muscle mass, and he's not really that big, now. I would say that he is obviously attmpting to get his stamina and punch output up.
Virchis is a brute. So strong and so powerful. He lacks in technical skill and speed, but makes up for it in other ways. Limited? Yes, but still a top tier heavyweight. I would pick him to KO Maskaev, Peter, Brewster, and Briggs.
Don't think Virchis has lost that many muscle mass, but he has definetely put on fat. Virchis is a dangerous oponent for anyone, but mobile skilled boxers can beat him for sure, guys like Chagaev, Ibragimov and Gomez. Anyway, I believe he will show up in shape to face Gomez
virchis in that avatar pic looks likie a freakin monster, he is still a monster but not as big on the youtube fight i saw of him vs serin, he is big enough thats for sure so the muscle loss may help him
he is unbareably slow its painful i have no question about his chin and power...but adnan sarin who is a very small slow bralwer looked like meldrick taylor against him. and it's not like he is that big to be that slow, at 6'4 many other heavywieghts are far faster,taller and can punch.
