Dr. Ironfist is slowing down

Haye would retire Vitali! Thats why he ducked him and fought Gomez instead.

*****!

Arreola will destroy this slow mongol

I think if they ever were to fight (which they never will), Wlad would beat him. Wlad's technical skills would contain Vitali and not let him land his awkward shots and contain him at bay where Vitali wouldn't chin check him.

But god I wish Wlad had the finishing hunger like Vitali did. He doesn't have the chin for it, but he could still step it up like he did.

Vitali is definitely not the same fighter he was pre retirement. Although he won in a tough fight tonight and did fairly well for being 37 years old, I believe if this was the Vitali pre retirement this fight would have been over much sooner.
Vitali seemed slower, and winded a lot more than in the past.

I advice Vitali to stay in the game for no longer than a year in which he could get a good 2 or 3 fights and then retire before a fresh young dog retires him.

I've been thinking the same. But although he is slowing down with age, he still is (along with his brother) the best heavyweight in the world. I think he will retire after two or three more fights.

He should call it a day after he beats Valuev unless Wlad somehow loses to Haye both times *assuming they have a rematch if Haye wins again*

He has slowed a little bit but as far as being winded if you watch pre retirement fights, notably the Corrie Sanders and Danny Williams fights he always looks like hes winded around the fourth or fifth round, but he keeps throwing, I think its just the way he breaths I dont know but its weird ****, same with his brother.

Arreola is a fat slob with horrible defense, he's an overrated American hypejob that hasn't beaten anybody with a pulse.

Vitali destroys him

Fixed it for ya

What about the rocky-style training he did for this fight? I always thought the rocky training was kind of dumb in some ways because it improves power makes you strong but wouldn't it slow you down a bit too? How does pulling sleds with ppl on them and walking through the snow improve footwork or make your hands faster? Wouldn't it just make you overall stronger? Strength is good and all but is their a point to getting too strong and not fast enough?
