Vitali would still kick Wlad's arse

[Boxing Scene]

Now, Wlad UD's Vitali or TKO's him on cuts. 5 years ago, Vitali TKO's Wlad in 11 rounds.

Nah, I don't think so.....Vitali isn't a 1 punch ko guy really and is out of prime while Wlad is as good as ever in addition to always having been a harder puncher, and generally more athletic than big bro.

No way.

Wlad would won on points or late TKO.

Absolutely. Him having his hands so low doesn't exactly help him deflect those pesky lefts, either. At least Wladimir makes a real effort (albeit sometimes to the point where he looks petrified) to always keep his left side protected - after Sanders, he damn well should know as such.



Not feeling you there. Try the '99 Vitali who fought Hide with his hands way up and a face like a demon possessed, and then we're talking murder. That was easily the angriest Vitali I've ever seen!

For Wk to keep his LEFT side protected, as you say, because of Sanders lesson, Sanders is a southpaw, and therefore WK would need to keep his RIGHT side protected.

And by the way, to keep his LEFT side protected, he requires to have his chin tucked down into his shoulder, with his left hand up. When he throws a straight left, he exposes his defences a little. if his head is in the correct position, the act of pushing out his left, will bring u his shoulder for ADDED jaw protection. Then all he has to make sure is that his right is in the correct position, and it would not be easy to reach his chin.
