I have said Vitali has been near done for 2 years. Should he win, he needs to quit whilst he is ahead.
Yeah I think even the Vitali of 2 years ago wouldn't have lost a minute to this guy. Even Arreola would beat Chisora up.
Honestly.... that is your reaction to this fight so far? What genuinely stands out to you is how well Vitali is doing on the scorecards? I guess I see this fight differently than you.
No, it is definitely harder for Vitali than expected and Chisora is landing to the body pretty well, but you have to put things in perspective. All judges had given Vitali 79 points after eight rounds, so it is not like he was having a life-and-death here even though he is not as far superior as usually is the case. Scoring-wise Chisora is doing about as well as Mavrovic against Lennox, that should also be kept in mind
Vitali is still dominating, truth be told, just not as much as usual, and looks far more vulnerable, and more feeble.
That's as honest as you'll get from Ugo...he's been an avid supporter of K Bros since Year Zero and modern-day Heavyweight Boxing :shit: :shit: in general.
Almost, yeah. What's surprising is the lack of snap on Vitali's punches. I mean he always throws arm punches, but they had far less meat on them tonight.
Yep. I agree Vitali is dominating on the cards, and winning handily cards or not. But he looks so vulnerable it is bordering on shocking to me. Clearly age is a factor, but I actually dislike fights like this because it makes for re-visiting of previous Vitali fights and wondering what may have happened has his opponents come for more than a paycheck. I have never been a fan of Vitali, but even I would like to see him blast Chisora out in 5 rounds and do himself some good, career-wise. I think Vitali needs to bow out again and find something else to do with his life, since he still appears to have his health and mind completely intact after a decent career in a brutal sport.
No it wasn't, he looked weak from round 1. The bodyshots helped, and took even more steam out, but Vitali looked weaker from the very first round.
Vitali was hurt by the body shots throughout. Chisora kept to a very good pace and fought as best he could. When Chisora decided to let his hands go whilst keeping the pressure on, he made it very difficult for Vitali. Chisora definitely gave it everything and I respect him much more now, even if some of you believe it was against an aged Vitali. After the first few rounds, when Vitali was landing the right hand coming down, or the short right uppercut, I thought this would be Chisora's undoing.
Look for Haye to move mountains to face Vitali now...possibly beat him and make allsorts of shit-claims about his outstanding pedigree as a heavyweight. :shit:
Sure he can - he just did. Quote ringside in Munich: "Vitali's manager doesnt want me anywhere near him...they know his feet are slow, they know I'm fast and that adds up to a Haye-knockout" Haye now almost having an orgasm on TV claiming he wants the fight in Summer...
