View Full Version : Why Did Wladimir Collapse after 4 rounds and Vitaliy did not ?
Nautilus 12-15-2004, 02:46 AM Larry Merchant claimed that Wladimir had merely outpunched himself in the Brewster fight. Larry also said that Vitaliy is a smarter and more resourcefull fighter than Wladimir is, and that Vitaliy knows how to conserve his energy.
The following Compubox numbers prove Larry Merchant's theory WRONG. The numbers show that Vitaliy boxed Danny at a substantially HIGHER TEMPO than Wladimir did against Lemon. Moreover, Vitaliy was able to easily maintain that HIGH TEMPO through round 8.
These Compubox numbers raise a worrisome question:
Why did Wlad collapse to the floor at the end of Round 4? (He then barely made it to round 5 and lost by a TKO.)
I believed and now even stronger believe that there WAS something really wrong with Wlad's health that night (whatever the reasons were). I also think that there should be a W.Kltschko-Brewster rematch.
Table 1. COMPUBOX PUNCH STATS for Vitaliy-Danny Fight:
Vitaliy Klitschko 53/94 41/75 33/59 35/71 37/81 30/70 33/56 22/33 (mid-round stoppage)
Danny Williams 4/21 4/22 9/30 4/26 4/20 10/32 6/28 3/14

Lemon Brewster 7/34 6/28 9/31 6/27 15/38
vB Martin 12-15-2004, 06:08 AM Vit is a naturally larger man than Wlad, therefore more able to carry the weight. Remember, Wlad fought in the Olympics at 91kg. That means he's added nearly 50 lbs of muscle mass in a relatively short amount of time and his body can't handle the weight.

Listen wlad is 1 inch shortet than vit and useally weighs 240-245 while vit y\useally weigh 245-250. You call that a big different, wlad has had higher tempo before. theres something fishy here.
Wlad was pushdown to 91 because vit was supposed to be in 91+
He pushed himself down a lot and had big problems making that weight.
Besides thats 8 years ago i think you get used to 40-50 pounds of muscle weight in that time.

PLEASE....stop with the excuses !
For the last time you psychotic Klit fans....
Wlad Klit is a MENTALLY WEAK fighter.
If ANY of you GEEKS had ever boxed for real....you'd realize how a fighter without true confidence could fizzle out.
Vitali is more of a poised, natural fighter than his younger brother.
He doesn't PANIC....& that's why he HOLDS HIS **** TOGETHER !
GOT IT ?
Dark Destroyer 12-15-2004, 07:00 AM Wladimir is just a poor calibre fighter compared to his older brother. He had a lot of potential but it seems to have fizzled away. Losing to Sanders was one bad sign and then losing to Brewster was shocking because Brewster is a terrible fighter in my opinion for a so called top Heavyweight Champion.

Go talk those numbers in a boxing gym, & watch how you get laughed out of there.
You don't have any "facts" here !
I have more to base my theory on than do you.
You base your theory on the numbers of two fighting brothers....do you know how ridiculous that is ?
This is boxing, not Algebra....your numbers don't cut it here.
If you ever boxed, or spoke with people involved with the game, you'd never put this nonsense out there.

They are two totally different people! You can't honestly think just because Vit can throw 50-80 punches for 8 rounds and not collapse that Wlad should be able to also, can you? I have a brother that is a world class marathon runner, but if I run for more than a couple miles I'll start puking! I think Wlad's problem in the Brewster fight was panic. Ever panic about something then feel totally drained afterwards? I think he was getting frustrated that he couldn't put Brewster away, then he got hit with a couple good shots and started to panic.....causing high amounts of fatigue.
The comparison of the two based on them being brothers is asinine.

Amen, urdaddy.
something that has more impact in the boxing world than psychology, more than weight...
DON KING.
simple as that. VK wasn't fighting one of DK's fighters, WK was.
Don won't give up a championship belt without some attempt to keep it, even with cheating. He knows Brewster is garbage and that WK woulda tore him up without the help of some cheating.
it's so obvious, yet so easy for haters to deny.
I doubt the FBI would waste their time if the claims had no weight :)
I hope we all find out the truth one day.

Corrie Sanders WHOOPED WK.. that's obvious.
but did you see how he could get up off the canvas on his own accord?
Even when he was dead tired and totally beat up. WK could still stand. and remember that it was HARD lefts that took WK down. There was not even ONE substantial punch thrown by Brewster.
PLUS... do you really think that WK is that much of a sore looser? He's probably smarter than most of the people on this forum, and he HONESTLY knew something was wrong? Do you rush to the hospital to get blood samples if you just got your ass kicked?

Where's the intelligence in your debate ?
Sour grapes, paranoia, & bogus numbers aren't sound.
This is BOXING.....
I think Wlad's three KO losses are the numbers that mean more than anything.
Two of them occurred in matches he was winning. He has stamina/endurance problems....that are more tied to his mind than his body.

First off, they are not two totally different people, they have the same parents and grew up in the same household.
Second, Wlad did not panic because Brewster would not go down, he collapsed due to exaustion and went to the hospital. Brewster didn't hit Wlad nearly as hard or as much as Sanders did, and Wlad kept getting up and trying to fight back.
Third, who is your world class marathon runner brother? What place did he get in the Olympic Trials. If he is a sub 2:20 (world class is bout 2:06-2:08, but your point is made)guy, you can break 3:00 with about two months of training.

Michael & Leon Spinks grew up in the same household.
Leon was destroyed by Larry Holmes in three rounds.
Michael twice decisioned Larry.
Leon was poisoned, or sick, obviously.
The panic theory may make some sense.
I don't think that I get extremely tired when I panic though, more like I get hyper and on edge.
could be.
I'm relying on WK's knowledge of sports, sports medicine, sports therapy etc.
We're talking about BREWSTER. That is a fight that WK had NO UNDERSTANDING on as a Doctor. The other losses, he didn't complain or argue, he took them as defeats.
I could see one of the big sh*t talking boxers trying to defend a loss, but the K brothers have more dignity than that.

1. Wlad is an established boxer, an Olympic champion and a former WBO world champion. Wlad has a VERIFIABLE history of boxing at a HIGH TEMPO. Plase do check the COMPUBOX numbers for his fight with Mercer, for example. Moreover, Wlad and Vitaliy have been training side-by-side for many years, having very identical routines that build stamina.
2. The same can not be said about you. As you stated, you are not an Olympic champion in marathon, not a world champion; you are not a runner; and you do not train with your brother. Thus, your own words show that you have provided a very poor example that FAILS to approximate my example with any reasonable degree.
3. Since you have provided a poor example, your only argument so far is the above proclamation of "asininity", as you say.

Besides thats 8 years ago i think you get used to 40-50 pounds of muscle weight in that time.
He said Vitali is a "naturally" larger man. Wladimir put on 40-50 pounds of muscle to become a heavyweight. Vitali is a natural heavyweight.
what's his professional record after becoming a HW?

Can you judge a round, just by numbers ?
What if Paul Spadafora lands a lot of his pitter-pats, but Diego Corrales lands a few huge, debilitating punches ?
Edge.....Corrales.
The numbers apply FAR LESS when it comes to stamina.
Admit it....Wlad & Vitali are two different fighters.
How come Vitali could stand up to Sanders' left hand, but Wlad couldn't ?
Nautilus 12-15-2004, 10:15 AM He said Vitali is a "naturally" larger man. Wladimir put on 40-50 pounds of muscle to become a heavyweight. Vitali is a natural heavyweight.
Wladimir and a lot of other HW boxers probably got an extra 30-40LB pounds since being 19-20. I am sure Vitaliy did too. So did many other outstanding HW boxers who competed in the Olympics at cruiserweight and LHW.
At least there was a point in time when Vitaliy and Wlad were both 40-50LB lighter. :)
KO loss to Sanders...
not panic, but a$$ whooping!
give WK credit though, he did stand back up for several of those knock downs AND the ref waved the fight off!!!
now let's look at Brewster... more power than Sanders??? NO
and even if so, Brewster didn't land a good shot against WK. and somehow WK couldn't even get himself off the canvas?
I don't think so!

Unless you're a simese twin I don't think because you have the same parents makes you the same person. How do you know he didn't panic? Were you in his head? He sure looked paniced to me. The claims that Wlad did one thing in one fight and a totally different something in another also brings no merit. Two seperate occasions.....different circumstances....different fighters.....different type punches.....punch locations....everything. Just because you react to a situation one way, one time, does not mean you will always act likewise in the future. I still think he punched himself out trying to stop Brewster....then got hit with a couple decent shots (albeit to the common eye nowhere near the shots he took from Sanders), paniced and lost all his stamina.
In response to the other claim about panic, yes you do get amped and feel a rush at first.....but what happens when the rush leaves. YOU FEEL EXHAUSTED.....that rush left when he heard the bell ring and the round was over.

Numbers alone do not decide a round, but numbers do provide important objective information.
Vitali did not let Corrie lend his great left punch consequetively. That made a huge difference. This however is not related to the stamina of two brothers discussed here.

wlad punched himself out agianst lame-ass brewster... he threw alot of HARD punches trying to take lame-ass out and look impressive by stopping a guy early, who had never been knocked down before...
the numbers don't tell you how hard a guy is punching... wlad was putting everything he had behind alot of his punches...
I disagree with the exhaustion from panic theory.
I can stand up and move around when I'm exhausted. WK could barely even stand on his own accord!!!
and if you listen to what HE says (granted you'll have to be unbiased and assume he is not a liar) he was fatigued from like the 2nd round and HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY. If you want to know, ask him. Why would he lie to save face? This man is intellegent, a Doctor.
Did you read the articles that Boxingscene put up about this fight? How there was an intruder in the Klitschko camp at this fight? How all the samples that were taken at the hospital magically 'dissapeared'? How the water bottle that was given to WK couldn't be found right after the fight? How the FBI was involved?

No, if you watch carefully, in the beginning Wlad missed one very strong left punch that shook him. Wlad then got pissed and tried to hit Sanders hard in return, and then Wlad almost immediately missed the SECOND exactly same hard left punch that sent him on the canvas.

I agree, he was throwing some hard combinations like throwing a left jab then a left hook. He wore himself down.
i like the klits, but there's been no proof of foul play, just speculation... i'd love for proof to come out that wlad was drugged and they reverse the outcome of the fight and put king in jail, but until that happens, the next best thing is to say wlad punched himself out and beat himself...

Dark Destroyer 12-15-2004, 10:40 AM As if Vitaliy WAS not throwing hard punches, just some light ones. he-he.
Coincidentally, did not those punches put Danny on the floor four times?
So, I do disagree strongly.

king is corrupt, but until there is some proof, it's more sensible to say wlad punched himself out than it is to say that king drugged him and then hid all evidence including blood samples at the hospital
jabsRstiff 12-15-2004, 10:48 AM why did he get tired though?
Because he has confidence problems.....lots of self-doubt.
He does not handle pressure well.
Do you think this is uncommon in boxing ?
It's not....in fact, I believe it's what separates the elite fighters from the rest of the world.
Wlad lacks the instincts that a real fighter needs.
Perhaps he's too much of a deep thinker to be a supreme fighter ?
That's what I think..because I see the PHYSICAL TOOLS are there, but they're held back by his psyche.

You may be right, but I would really love to see Brestwer-WK II.
This fight will test all of the existing theories rigorously.
initialy i though it was a health related issue like diabetes or something, but since nothing has come of it, that isn't the case...
some guys like tommy morrison and foreman when he was young, don't relax well in the ring and punch every punch with all their power... and then tire very easy... it may or may not be the case with wlad...

K2 said ony:
1. There were NO mysterious people. (officially at least)
2. Analyses did go missing. K2 posted the documents on the web, including their attorney's letter asserting that.
the poison, stealing samples is hearsay.. who really knows. no need to blame that on DK.
BUT there was a member of Klitshko's camp that was told "I'm showing that you've already shown up (not exact words)" when he arrived as in someone posed in place of him.
either way, only a rematch will prove anything... it's probably too late for any investigators to solve anything on this one.
That must have been false news that said someone got through security.

Boxerdog 12-15-2004, 11:11 AM I really think that Wlad's collapse was predomanantly a "pacing" issue. Simply put, he shot his wad. I put most of the blame in his corner and with Manny Stewart mostly. The "expert legend" on the team has GOT to tell his fighter that he better keep something in the tank. Stewart is more interested in coming across as telegenic than anything else these days. He knows full well where his future lies.
He said Vitali is a "naturally" larger man. Wladimir put on 40-50 pounds of muscle to become a heavyweight. Vitali is a natural heavyweight.
They are both natural heavyweights, dont tell that you think wlad should have been at cruiserweight.
MetalVomit 12-15-2004, 11:11 AM Larry Merchant claimed that Wladimir had merely outpunched himself in the Brewster fight. Larry also said that Vitaliy is a smarter and more resourcefull fighter than Wladimir is, and that Vitaliy knows how to conserve his energy.
The following Compubox numbers prove Larry Merchant's theory WRONG. The numbers show that Vitaliy boxed Danny at a substantially HIGHER TEMPO than Wladimir did against Lemon. Moreover, Vitaliy was able to easily maintain that HIGH TEMPO through round 8.
These Compubox numbers raise a worrisome question:
Why did Wlad collapse to the floor at the end of Round 4? (He then barely made it to round 5 and lost by a TKO.)
I believed and now even stronger believe that there WAS something really wrong with Wlad's health that night (whatever the reasons were). I also think that there should be a W.Kltschko-Brewster rematch.
Table 1. COMPUBOX PUNCH STATS for Vitaliy-Danny Fight:
Vitaliy Klitschko 53/94 41/75 33/59 35/71 37/81 30/70 33/56 22/33 (mid-round stoppage)
Danny Williams 4/21 4/22 9/30 4/26 4/20 10/32 6/28 3/14
Table 2. COMPUBOX PUNCH STATS for Wladimir-Lemon Fight:
Wladimir Klitschko 33/78 32/77 24/59 20/58 11/39
Lemon Brewster 7/34 6/28 9/31 6/27 15/38
I am not a Klitschko fanatic. And I have seen many fights. I have seen many men punch themselves out and get tired and exhausted. Wlad looked sick. I am not making excuses at all. He lost the fight, plain and simple. But something wasnt right after the first round of that fight. He looked ready to die after 3 minutes, a superbly conditioned athlete couldnt possibly look like that without something being wrong. Once again for you Klit bashers, I am not a fanboy, and I dont deny the loss. But something was not right, whether he ate something bad or was poisoned, whether it was a conspiracy or diarhea, something was wrong.

We obviously have differing definitions for "pace".

The corner men should be able to detect when their fighter is in danger of becoming exausted.

dempseyfire 12-15-2004, 11:48 AM Earth to the poster - - - Wladimir and Vitali are brothers but they are not the same person.
A few other reasons:
-Brewster was pressuring Wlad much more then Williams, who seemed to be walking with concrete boots.
-Wlad was throwing many more HARD punches. When Vitali throws a jab he really puts his shoulder into it and snaps it, when Vitali throws a jab he just pushes it out
-Wlad has a much lesser chin, and thus when your getting pressure from a puncher, you will tire out more as your exerting more energy to get away from the punches-Brewster was setting the pace, but against Williams Vitali was setting the pace
-Wlad was wobbled and hurt in round 3-he panicked and that also exerted more energy
-And yes, Wlad may be an inch shorter then his brother but at 245 he is not lean like his brother . . he began his career fighting in the 220s, while Klitschko has always been around 240. Klitschko put on too much muscle mass with the weights and he can't sustain a high tempo which he is not setting at that weight.
dempseyfire 12-15-2004, 11:57 AM I disagree with the exhaustion from panic theory.
I can stand up and move around when I'm exhausted. WK could barely even stand on his own accord!!!
and if you listen to what HE says (granted you'll have to be unbiased and assume he is not a liar) he was fatigued from like the 2nd round and HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY. If you want to know, ask him. Why would he lie to save face? This man is intellegent, a Doctor.
Did you read the articles that Boxingscene put up about this fight? How there was an intruder in the Klitschko camp at this fight? How all the samples that were taken at the hospital magically 'dissapeared'? How the water bottle that was given to WK couldn't be found right after the fight? How the FBI was involved?
wow, lots of stuff happenening from a little bit of panic...
oh yeah, that's right!! Don King has never been thought of to fix fights or corrupt boxing... NEVER!! I would never DREAM of hearing such a thing!! *faint*
Have you ever boxed? If you are fighting tight (and with a fear of getting punched out) you will get tired, and fast. I have sparred and seen numerous guys spar a number of rounds and be so exhausted they could hardly stand.
Wlad was not tired from the 2nd round on-just watch the fight. You don't thrown as many hard punches as he did while you're dead tired. Wlad didn't get really tired until he shot his load trying to knock out Brewster in the 4th. Ha, foul play . . .that would've been the crappiest job of foul play ever, esp. since Brewster was on his way outta there in the 4th round. I guess they were betting on the poison working and Brewster having a solid chin, eh? Thus stuff cracks me up . . .
BIGPOPPAPUMP 12-15-2004, 01:52 PM They are both natural heavyweights, dont tell that you think wlad should have been at cruiserweight.
You don't get it. The point is that Vitali weighing 250 is a natural weight for him, for Wlad it is an un-natural weight. Wlad had to work hard in the gym and with weights to become a solid muscular heavyweight. Vitali just has to stay in shape because he is a naturally bigger man then his brother.
He handles the weight better and that is why his stamina is much better. People forget that Wlad blew up against Purity for his first loss in a manner very similiar to the Brewtser loss.
Wlad has talent, but he lacks the killer instinct that Vitali has. He has clearly shown that he can't take a punch as well as Vitali and he doesnt have the stamina of Vitali. None of the heavyweights are scared of Wlad anymore and will jump on him to test that chin or make Wlad beat on them until he punches himself out. Wlad can't wait on fighters, he is too big to wait. He needs to jump on guys and put guys away. Two years ago, a guy like Williamson would have never lasted past 2 rounds with Wlad.

I basically agree with you, but Vitali started out in the 230s for his first 10 fights. Wlad has shown time and time again that he can't handle 245 lbs. I thought that one of his most awkward fights was against Barrett and he came into the fight at 244 lbs. Yes he dominated Barrett but he looked completely awkward in doing so. Wlad's best weight is 238-240 lbs.

1 - Wlad was the one who said he noticed an unnatural fatigue from the 2nd round. He would know better than a spectator judging his punches.
2 - the referee said he's never seen anything like that in all his years. Has he never seen a fighter outpunch himself?
3 - which better way would you suggest foul play? bribing the judges like it would ever go that far...

They are two totally different people! You can't honestly think just because Vit can throw 50-80 punches for 8 rounds and not collapse that Wlad should be able to also, can you? I have a brother that is a world class marathon runner, but if I run for more than a couple miles I'll start puking! I think Wlad's problem in the Brewster fight was panic. Ever panic about something then feel totally drained afterwards? I think he was getting frustrated that he couldn't put Brewster away, then he got hit with a couple good shots and started to panic.....causing high amounts of fatigue.
The comparison of the two based on them being brothers is asinine.
1. Wlad is an established boxer, an Olympic champion and a former WBO world champion. Wlad has a VERIFIABLE history of boxing at a HIGH TEMPO. Plase do check the COMPUBOX numbers for his fight with Mercer, for example. Moreover, Wlad and Vitaliy have been training side-by-side for many years, having very identical routines that build stamina.
2. The same can not be said about you. As you stated, you are not an Olympic champion in marathon, not a world champion; you are not a runner; and you do not train with your brother. Thus, your own words show that you have provided a very poor example that FAILS to approximate my example with any reasonable degree.
3. Since you have provided a poor example, your only argument so far is the above proclamation of "asininity", as you say.

It indeed could be
a) pressure (Wlad suddenly became different fighter)
b) accidental mistake in use of medicaments
c) mistake in use of steroids/doping (i hope not!!!)
d) unknown health problem
e) foul play (tranquilizers slipped)
The medical analyses went missing after the fight despite K2 requests to secure them, which implicitly supports (e), but neither (b) nor (c).

GranTorino 12-15-2004, 07:29 PM Wlad was drugged. End of story.
i really think wlad has lost his way since the sanders fight. he was the man everyone was afraid of, lewis didnt even wanna fight him. hes a devestating puncher, he had good speed and like his brother was awkward because of his size. hes got heart, you can tell from the way he kept getting up from them sanders bombs, but i think he needs a fresh approach, and a new trainer. he needs to use his jab more and gain the centre of the ring. in his last fights he has tried to brawl, and his chin hasnt been holding up. lewis proved you dont need no iron chin to be a great boxer. he needs to do a rahman, fight some bums, 6-8 fights a year, get a buzz about him again and then fight for a title.

Mr. Ryan 12-15-2004, 07:39 PM i really think wlad has lost his way since the sanders fight. he was the man everyone was afraid of, lewis didnt even wanna fight him. hes a devestating puncher, he had good speed and like his brother was awkward because of his size. hes got heart, you can tell from the way he kept getting up from them sanders bombs, but i think he needs a fresh approach, and a new trainer. he needs to use his jab more and gain the centre of the ring. in his last fights he has tried to brawl, and his chin hasnt been holding up. lewis proved you dont need no iron chin to be a great boxer. he needs to do a rahman, fight some bums, 6-8 fights a year, get a buzz about him again and then fight for a title.

Wladmir is simply not the fighter Vitali is. Vitali is the more rugged, resourceful fighter of the 2.

Something tells me that you haven't seen Wlad v. Nicholson.
nope, i know he won, but what are you getting at?
The Fix 12-15-2004, 07:44 PM Wlad was drugged. End of story.
do you actually believe that :confused:
Neuraxis 12-15-2004, 11:31 PM nope, i know he won, but what are you getting at?
He looked really good in doing so. If Wlad isn't the same after either of his two recent losses, it would clearly have to be that he isn't the same after his fight with Brewster. I think I am going to have to post the fight in the download section.

Yes, it is what WK believes.
WK killed himself by trying to finish LB too early in the fight.
this is a good point
guess you didn't see this 1zz...
There is clearly a difference:
Brewster: http://www.klitschko.com/gallery/index.php?lang=en&task=image&dir=fights/Wladimir/45_Lamon_Brewster&file=scena0353.jpg
Purrity: http://www.klitschko.com/gallery/index.php?lang=en&task=show&dir=fights/Wladimir/25_Ross_Puritty&file=25_Ross_Puritty_294.jpg
meaning this...

dempseyfire 12-16-2004, 10:40 AM Wlad didn't look good at all in the Nicholson fight. It was a snooze fest until Wlad finally learned Nicholson was a joke and threw a good left hook.
moochi 12-16-2004, 10:46 AM that is exactly right....they are two totally different people, and even identical twins are different....
he's either got to prove himself from scratch or go down in flames trying. This upcoming year might answer those questions.

This just in, most of Wlad's fights are snooze fests.
Nautilus 12-16-2004, 02:58 PM This just in, most of Wlad's fights are snooze fests.
Wlad-Bruster rematch will be a snooze fest as well. I will be worried for Bruster's health too.
i have a theory. everyone knows that the ukranian primeminister was drugged/posioned, so maybe they did the same to wlad because of his political stance
MOBs_finest 12-16-2004, 04:21 PM Wlad had just punched himself out. In boxing you don't just throw your shots you have to be economical, something that a prefessional prize fighter should know, this is especially a cardinal rule in the heavyweight division. When you look at the tape you see how many times that Wlad's punches hit gloves or missed completly. When you box you want to take the open shots and occasionally throw flurries. Another example of a fighter punching himself out basically to a point where he was knocked out both from punishment and fatigue would be Fernando Vargas when he fought De La Hoya.
No excuse Wlad just punched himself out, he has to be more economical!
TheGreat1 12-16-2004, 04:31 PM because they are 2 defferent people. alot of fighters can go more than 4 rounds, others can't
there's just no way to completely know what happened at this point, no matter how much credability one thinks they have.
Odds seem clear, but it was quite different than any other remotely similar boxing situation I've ever witnessed.

No, check out Pinoy Lang in the lounge! 200 some pages of another language.
like a big hairy mole on the arse that just won't go away!!
:D
na, really I don't mind, doesn't bother me one bit :P
kraizie 12-21-2004, 11:39 PM How many punches a boxer throws also dep on opponent
kraizie 12-21-2004, 11:43 PM he he he guess that did not make sense. I meant to say the punching rate also depended upon your opponent. if your opponent can move fast then obviously you can't punch that many. I wish you post some more statistics from other fights. Statistics is garbage if you just pull one thing out of the batch.
