Rahman is way overrated, he got a what I would call a "lucky punch" against an out of shape Lewis. Lewis spanked him on rematch and Vitali is on Lennox lvl. Byrd and Toney are the only ones who can stand up to vitali, although im still unconvinced of Toney's chances at HW.
If Vitali did loose I dont think it will be the end, but it will certainly end the belief out there that Vitali is the new face of HW.
Rahman is not exactly what we can call champion material but I think he have good chances vs Klitschko. The ukrainien robot have some weakness in his armor and if "the rock" doesn't look like "soft rock" we can have an upset!
Vitali will probably KO Rahman early, Rahman was a nobody until he landed that lucky punch on Lewis. Remember that Rahman was knocked through the ropes and outside the ring not so long ago by B level fighter known as Oleg Maskaev.
I want Vitali to KO this one-trick pony earlier, just to hear people say "Well, maybe Williams wasn't THAT bad..."
rahman has a long reach and good jab, so i think he might give vitali a better fight than wiliams did, but i still think vitali will win, the thing about vitali is, that even if rahman does land a good shot vitali might take it well anyway, vitali tko 9
rahman wont KO vitali he cant his chin is to good, lewis got planted yes but he got up right after the 10 count and he wasnt exactly out cold, that punch rahman landed on lewis will hurt but not floor or ko vitali, rahman is gonna need multiple shots but vitali is just to damn tall, vitali tko in his favorite round number 8 :)
I want Rahman to win but very much doubt he will,remember even against lewis the first time he was getting out-boxed until of course he landed that excellent shot, i hope he does the same to the big klit but can't see i happening - Vit ko in 6
i like both gyz, but im going for vitali, im a fan of his
but as far as just the fight from not a fan perspective, although
he is one of the toughest opponents vitali has faced, remember that style makes fights. n that style is jus gnot gona do it against vitali.rahman can't counterpunch much, and i doubt it hes going to back givtali up. he might, but not for long. vitalis long reach, and one-twos will jus anihilate him
My money is on klitschko for this one, also, but isn't Rahman the toughest opponnent he's faced, besides Lennox Lewis and Chris Byrd? There's no way that it's gonna be as easy for him as Danny Williams was...
I agree with you in part. Your right Rahman is one of the toughest opponents that Vitali has faced, but we don't know what type of Rahman will show up. An outta shape one or an in-shape one. And I really don't think that it would make that much of a difference, I think that Vitali's style totally offsets Rahman's style, and unless Rahman can land the type of shot that took out Lewis, he won't win.
But, now that I think about it, Vitali has lost to both of his toughest opponents.
All I know is that I want Rahman to win, but most likely Vitali will beat him in the same manner as he did Williams.
My money is on klitschko for this one, also, but isn't Rahman the toughest opponnent he's faced, besides Lennox Lewis and Chris Byrd? There's no way that it's gonna be as easy for him as Danny Williams was...
it was tha end of tyson and oscar. oscar neva got his stuff right. good thing he started promoting
Tyson's real career has been over now he is just fighting because there is really nothing else he can do that will get him paid.
I expect Vitali to stop Rahman.
I want Rahman to win this fight but thats not gonna happen. I see this fight going the same way as the Williams fight did, Vitali wins this one by TKO in 10.
