Why did Sosnowski land his jab at will on Vitali ?

maybe you watched a very poor quality stream
Sosnowski's jabs to the head were landing clean and he landed some clean (but randow and few) power punches to the headComment

I think to beat Vitali you're going to need to knock him out because taking the amount of punches he lands plus the fact that his punches are pretty hard, its going to be hard to out punch him for 12 rounds straight. All Sosnowski showed is that the one punch you may be able to land against an aging Vitali is also the punch thats the least likely to KO anyone.Comment

I was very pleased with the stream quality. And like every other Vitali fight, he won round after round. Decisively.Comment

it doesn't matter to the Sosnowski fight obviously (do I have to explain everything?)
it matters when we try to evaluate where Vitali is at right now in his career
he is no spring chicken
it is just normal to wonder what is going on with him if a man a lot of people called a bum can land his jab at will on him
because Vitali didn't use to get hit by jabs like that
it could become a blueprint for other future opponents (using the jab)
so the question has to be askedComment

Vitali is vulnerable to lefts. He cant see them coming for some reason, and if any fighter would actually make a concerted effort to throw HARD LEFTS instead of rights or pawing jabs they could easily KO Vitali.
Look at the two guys other than LL who gave Vit the most problems:
Corrie Sanders and Chris Byrd, both southpaws with power in the left hand. Sanders was able to wobble Vitali with the left and knock him down to the canvas, Vitali quit on his stool against Byrd...
Lennox was never known for his strength in the left hand, but look how Vitali's knees buckle everytime LL hits him with it....

He staggered Vitali with the left at least 2 other times in that fight. Any quick power puncher that implements this plan has a good chance at knocking Vitali out.Comment

I knew your agenda from post 1.
But this fight's example is pretty sucky, you have to admit, right?Comment

This is better but you need someone with the viciousness of Sander's left and Lewis' pedigree in big fights. Is that person out there to have that kind of courage to do that? I wonder.Vitali is vulnerable to lefts. He cant see them coming for some reason, and if any fighter would actually make a concerted effort to throw HARD LEFTS instead of rights or pawing jabs they could easily KO Vitali.

Of course Vitali is declining some but he's sure not losing rounds yet because of it.Comment
