I think Klit will batter Williams, & stop him in 6.
Klit will hold him off, & nail him from long range.
Unlike Tyson, Klit won't get frustrated or upset if Wiliams hangs in...& will just keep going.

Williams needs to get inside to do damage. Does this guy have the kind of footspeed & defense that will allow him to get close quickly & safely ?

be prepared for an all out brawl williams nos if he trys to box he will be defeated due to the sheer size of klitschko and his reach distance so williams will just go at it like a street fight
williams by ko

if Williams does win he is going to have to knock him out quick. We all know Vitali can go all night so Williams would have to brawl with him and hope he can land a lucky shot.

I expect to see Danny more motivated for this fight than he was for the Tyson fight. Fighting for the Heavyweight Title tends to lift a fighter. This has got to be a dream come true for Williams and I'd expect him to fight far better than we have ever seen him fight before. He is a talented fighter and just needs to put it together. I go for Williams on late round ko or points win.

Williams by late fight stoppage or points victory. (I hope) It would be nice to have another great heavyweight champion in the UK again. :cool:

The longer it goes, the more I'd favour Williams. I'm still leaning towards VT within 5 though but only if he shakes him in the 1st couple of rounds.

From what I see coming out of the Williams camp they are wanting Danny to jump right on Vitali from the start. Williams has a tendency to leave himself open so unless he catches Vit with a big shot I see a quick knockout if Williams employs that strategy. If Williams comes out swinging for the fences I see a Tyson in his prime sort of short night with a big Vitali K.O. That is unless Williams lands a huge shot that hurts Vit like he has never been hurt before. In that case then Williams might have a shot.

The Williams camp will give out false rumours to throw the Vitali camp off scent of the real strategy. In a big fight like this it would be suicidal to tell your attack plan. On the other hand they may be talking the truth and hoping Vitali will think it's a bluff. Your right BTW Williams can leave himself open, he always starts off slow sometimes too. He is a warm up kind of fighter and the more he warms up the more confident he gets.

I know everyone hates to hear about Sanders, because he came in to the VK fight big as a house and all that, but IMO he still has much better hand and foot speed than Williams, and the only time he landed on VK is when VK stood in front of him. I don't see Williams rushing VK with any real success, I think it will go into the late rounds, like many of you, because VK is a pretty cautious fighter, but I think if VK doesn't knock Williams out, they will probably stop the fight due to Williams taking too many punches. Just an opinion.

Even though Williams beat Tyson, Tyson did have him wobly in the first round (first or second anyway). In the past he would have closed the show. Tyson is not the same fighter he used to be and that is why. Now imagine if klit were in his shoes? He would have finnished the fight abruptly as he did with Brewster (i think that was that fat black guy's name) I think Klit's intelligence and ability to size up Williams is why he is almost garuanteed a victory not his size. I think this battle is more of a chess match between a nerd and bully.

My heart wants Danny but I have to admit I have my doubts... either way it's a rubbish story for one of them.

What would Danny's story be? Perpetual underachiever finally overcomes his doubts... and then underachieves. Not much poetic justice, is it?

I smell an upset. Williams tko 4

Like horseracing, I must follow the form. Klit battled against an obviously overweight and sluggish Corrie Saunders, before fatigue defeated Corrie. He smashed Saunders with his best, but couldn't put him down.

Williams took Tyson's early best punches. Admittedly, he was shaken and a bit wobbly. Who wasn't ever wobbly from Tyson's best?

I see Williams eventually getting a few good ones in round about the 4th to 7th rounds and Klit being beaten. Either points, or cuts stoppage.

i pick vitally by mid rounds ko. i haven't seen williams fight really. but if all i had to go on was the tyson fight... i say vitaly. heres why........tyson, a way shot out fighter, had williams in trouble. i know most of you will say that tyson has mad power, well guess what, so does vitaly. not only that but vitaly is fresh and not washed up. vitaly will go down one day but i just don't think it is going to be this time.

I have to say I watched the Vitali V Corrie Sanders fight and was totally amazed at just how slow Vitali was, I had only seen him fight once before and could not remember him being so flat and slow, he showed little imagination and creativity in his footmovement and combinations in fact I think 1,2 was as far as his combinations went!

I would have said Vitali sould win easily but having seen that performance I have to say Williams has got a shot, Danny can string punches topgether and has got a bit of pop in his shots. Vitali will probably win but it just underlined to me the current state of heaveyweight boxing.........awful.

Don't you worry, he'll be plenty fast enough to hit Danny boy, and the fight is going to seem twice as long as it really is to Danny lol

Danny is who Sanders should make his comeback against, Danny thinks he can take a punch, and against Corrie he would take plenty of them, more than against VK probably.

Danny Williams has the skills, but more importantly, I think he now has the confidence to pull off the upset;

I'll take Williams to stop Vitali in the mid/late rounds.

I tend to believe you're only as good as your last fight. Williams fought an in shape hard hitting 38 year old ex-champion that hadn't fought in a year. Williams stays cool against the rampaging Tyson for three rounds then piles on the pressure to ko Tyson.
Vitali becomes champion by fighting an out of shape golf player that hadn't fought in a year. Vitali looks nervous everytime Sanders goes for him but after eight rounds the ref eventually saves Corrie.
Out of the two performances I think Williams was the more impressive and faced the tougher opponent. I know all about the knee injury but still feel that the whole thing has been inflated after all when your meal ticket gets ko'd by a guy that was considered a journey at best and a bum at worst you better have a good story if your going to sell your man in the future.
Williams late ko or points win.
