This is how Vitali's fight should have gone

[paulf]

...against someone on Sosnowski's level

or


This is what happens when Vitali uses his movement without just moving back, throws more than two punches at a time, and comes forward to overwhelm his opponents. Their **** gets ruined. Vitali should have kept fighting like this.

The difference is 10 years. He can't keep fighting like he was 28 years old at 38.

[BostonGuy]

In his younger days he undoutedly fought with more aggression and passion. He's an older guy who's done with 'mixing it with opponents' and naturally he's slower and less athletic and has really adopted his baby brother's style of controlled aggression and solid defense...

Vitali was clearly faster and more mobile when he fought Hide and Mahone in 1999 than he is now (11 years later, nearly age 39).

You don't have to be young and athletic to let your hands go! He could have got Sosnowski on the ropes and had his way with him.

exactly! i mean, just watch mosley vs margarito. mosley is pretty much the same age as vitali and he did let his hands go.

Vitali gets TV-money from RTL based on the number of commercials RTL is able to show. So the more rounds - the more money.

Am I serious?

Take a wild guess.

Bat is a very serious sober German man.
Like many other Germans, he keeps his emotions in check.
