Nady should have given him the count...

Nah man, he was out of it. Soz slumped unmoving in the corner and had to be helped to his feet about twelve seconds after the knockout and still looked wobbly. By the way, anyone seen Le Banner vs Frye? KO looked really similar to this one.

Yes. Sosnowski put up a very good fight, seeing how he's a tomato can.

You really think Vitali looked nearly as sharp as he did for the Sam Peter fight?

Yes, i do. Considering his opponent may not be peters caliber but he did things that unsettle vitali more than anything sam would do. He also made it more competitive.


he used his jab, he actually blocked and pushed punches away when he could, and he tried to counter on occasion.

Peters did none of this, so the fight wasn't complicated at all.

Vitali also showed a few subtle differences. less feinting, more pivoting. he was bringing his right hand over jabs. he was punching at the appropriate time instead of his usual wreckless offense (effective, but wreckless) and catching sos just before sos got off instead of not letting him.

He did a lot of things he normally doesn't do in matches, albiet subtle, if you know your stuff, you know what to look for.

I was actually impressed with vitali today despite the level of his opponent, because he was doing some by the book things and wasn't the incredibly awkward fighter he's known for.

I saw poise from vitali, usually he fights as if he's overally cautious. leaving his hands out there too long to create distance, or pulling his head back instantly after throwing even when nothing is coming his way. Just overcautious stuff that looks weird.

It was none of that this time. He pulled back only when he had to, he was comfortable pushing blocking punches and such, the list of things go on. Actually pay attention to the man, the subtle things are the biggest.
