What did you think of the Vitali Klitschko performance last night?

    He looked like the same old Vitali as always. Plodding forward, using the jab and slow looping hooks.

    What did you think about his performance? And the stoppage?

    Standard did what needed to be done, against a much lesser opponent. Hopefully we will see Haye vitali as I feel it could be a classic.

    Typical dominant yet clumsy looking performance. He looked as he should really against an untested fighter plucked from relative obscurity.

    didn't look like he was 100% ready for this fight, and he didn't have to be

    That's what I saw as well. It was blatant, the loss of speed in general. Not getting into details, you can see he's just too old for that **** now. Frankly I think Haye has a real chance of sparking him at this point. Like at least 50% chance..

    People and articles made it sound like Charr put up one of the worst performances by a Klitschko opponent in a long time. I thought Charr did alright for who he is and who he was up against. Maybe even landed one or two more punches than I thought he might. That said, Vitali was super badass and still looks like he'd beat everybody at HW easily (Wlad aside), on back to back nights.

    Thought he looked good.

    Stoppage was a bit weak, but the fight over really anyway. No way Charr was getting anything out of that fight.

    I thought the same. Vitlai didn't respect Charr. Charr had a shell type of defense, and Vitlai started to break though it, not caring if Charr could land a counter on him as Vitali has the iron chin.


    At first I thought Vitlai lost a little hand speed, but he's a great change up to fast ball type of pitcher. When he wants to spend his right hand with speed and force, he can still do it.

    While i agree that it's possible that haye could beat vitali at this point in their careers, If vitali's chin hasn't deteriorated and they were to fight i could see vitali stopping haye based on the fact that he obviously dislikes haye and if they got into a war and vitali's chin is the same well then haye would be in an awful spot.

    He looked horrible his legs are completely gone he's slow and his arm punches haven't got much power if he wants to fight Haye he should do it as soon as possible and retire afterwards

    He throws from the waist up. They put on a massive spectacle for a scrub of only 15 fights. Sholud of been fought in a club house. When Charr was first announced nobody knew who he was but somewhere along the way people made him out to be stiff competitor. Big joke.

    I think his legs are going and he is starting to show his age......he might have enough left to beat Haye,but i wouldnt be suprised if Haye does a Valuev on him and runs in and out all night.

    Klitschko was unusually easy to hit. I don't know if VK would oblige Haye the same way by keeping his right hand down.

    Charr was poor & Vitali did enough to beat him comfortably.

    He looked even slower than against Chisora, he is there for the taking
