Vitali Is Most Underrated Fighter Now

[Neuraxis]

oh have a day off mate with this constant spamming of your favourite fighters, he did lose to lewis check the bloody result.

then check the rules, then check the result again he lost.

he lost to byrd cos he retire in the 10th, he only had a round and a bit to go, a torn rotator cuff is not the most painful of injuries a boxer could suffer, trust me on this.

fighters have gone through much more and continued, Danny williams for one.

Vitali is a decent chap but please dont make out he gets no respect he gets plenty.

Why don't you take a day off from spamming about how minor a torn rotator cuff is as well. I'm pretty sure I've already gone over this with you before.

I'm a little sick of this nonsense about Vitali "not really losing".

He quit against Byrd (other fighters have been hurt worse than him, earlier in a fight, against GUYS THEIR OWN SIZE...& gone on).

His face was busted to bits by the FISTS of Lennox Lewis.
Tell me how that's "not real".

Like who? Holyfield? A lot of good that did him. Now he can't even hold up his left arm or throw punches with it without being in tremendous pain. Try to use some common sense for once.

I am dealing with the same torn rotator cuff myself, although I did it lifting weights, but all the same, I have been dealing with it for about 10 months now, I just don't have the funds for the surgery right now, and I let my insurance laps last year because I never used it and thought it was a waste of my money!
It is a bit painful but nothing I can't handle....

I guess you are just tougher than Holyfield and Vitali then.

Sorry, *******....

But Ty Biggs had his shoulder dislocated by a punch in the SECOND round against Jeff Simms.
He used only his left hand, & won a unaimous decision.

Jeff Fenech had both hands, & his cheekbone, broken by the SECOND round against Marcos Villasana.
Fenech not only went onto win a decision.....he threw an average of 100 punches a round.

Klit, quit. He only had a few rounds to go....against a SLAPPER....& he bailed.

Good post. Klit could have ran away for the last few rounds and still managed the decision if I'm not mistaken. I like Vitali but other fighters have eaten a lot more painful injuries and managed to grind out a win.

That's true in fact Vitali's next opponent has done with a dislocated arm and still managed to score ko. If both guys injuretheir shoulders in the first round Williams is an overwhelming favourite

Haha agreed.

[paulmmv]

in my view nobody can beat vitali and he is going to run over williams within 6 rounds

Tell me one fighter who actually beat Vitali....this guy gets no respect whatsoever. he was clearly beating Byrd before he had torn rotator cuff...he was clearly beating Lewis before fight was stopped for cuts...tell me one fighter who actually beat him.

does he look stiff? heck yes, he doesn't really look like a typical heavyweight champ...those nimble athletic fighters...but he is what he is: a technically sound fighter who fights with brain and power.

Is he the greatest heavyweight? no, but I think he is a pretty good champ at heavy.

the fact of the matter is that any heavyweight fighter can get in trouble with one punch...sure, Vitali looked shakey sometimes but I haven't seen a fight where he was losing yet.

some question his heart after quitting against Byrd...asking a boxer to fight with torn rotator cuff is like asking a pitcher to throw 95mph with blown elbow. it just is not possible.

I think Vitali will KO Williams in less than 5 rounds (yes, I was dead wrong about MAB v. Terrible but hey, we are dealing with different fighters here.)

VK, was doing good against LL but couldn't put him away, VK was done, LL was tattoo'ing that left side of his face, there was no way VK was going to make 2 more rounds. yes he was ahead on the score cards after 6 but remember a fight is 12 rounds, just ask McCline or Moorer.
