Don't Kid Yourselves, Vitali Didn't Train For That Fight

[ThePlugInBabies]

yeah that's nice.

what's your source?

[Gojira]

he probably doesnt have one, just an assumption made on his performance

[Eusebio]

I actually don't think he looked bad at all, and I tend to agree with the rumours that he didn't really train very hard for this fight. He maintained great distance (never had a chance of getting hit by one of Sos's desperate shots) like he always does and that awkward left hook/uppercut of his was landing with regularity. His opponent was nothing but a stay busy fight but I thought he was fairly sharp.

Haye should still be on alert. Hopefully David will man up though.

he did look slow and unfocused but it was enough to get a knockout win. just shows you in what bad state the heavyweight division is.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

He did train hes just slowing down. It happens.

[The Negro]

No matter what happened, there was going to be racists creating threads about how poor Vitali is and such.

He didn't even bother training, he took it very easy. He's nearly 39 years old and has a crippled body. What do people expect? I didn't think he looked too bad. He won virtually every round and scored an impressive knockout.

Lewis was 36, Vitali is near 40.

You fail.

Not sure why you bring age into it when I spoke of condition???

That was Vitali after a 2 week training camp.

He's been busy writing legislature and drinking wine the past few months.

He wanted to look like he had declined to bait Haye into a fight.

If Haye falls for the possum act then he is just as dumb as I thought he was.

sure he was. Haye beats both brothers, Vitali easier then wlad

To me he didn't look slow. He look too reserved and relaxed. It seemed like he wanted to fight at a very measured pace just in case he did get tired more easily than normal.

In the first 6 rounds I thought "man it looks like he just can't let the right hand go anymore."

However when he turned it on at the end it was pretty clear that Vitali had another gear or two that he just hadn't felt comfortable kicking it up to.
