In the opening commens, Stewart stated that he has a lot of questions about Vitaliy.
He said that Vitaliy's performance against Kirk Johnson was not impressive and that Vitaliy could not even hurt Corrie Sanders.
I am completely puzzled as to what is going on.
What is up with Manny Steward? Is he still planning to work with Wladimir?
Or is Lennox coming out from the retirement?
Emanuel still needs to look professional on TV. If he has questions, he needs to be honest. When you're a promoter, you can be biased and not look silly. When you're a commentator being paid for analysis, you need to be real.
I don't think he was being mean; all the commentators seemed to agree - Vitali still hasn't completely separated himself from the other heavyweights.
And here's the thing - if he fights another lardass whose only quickness is his hands, he still won't. He really needs a KO over a quick, respected name fighter.
And I'm not saying he won't do it.
In fact, Nautilus, if Vitali can KO Hasim Rahman (I mean a legitimate, Hasim's on the ground out or looking for his mouthpiece or writhing in pain), I'll give you a million points. And Neuraxis, too (yes, I've got it).

I honestly believe that VK will KO/TKO Rahman. Maskaev and Lennox did it, and Vitaliy will do it too.

Lennox also got KO'd by Rahman. I think vitaly will win, but I don't think a KO is a foregone conclusion.
As for Steward's comments, he was right about the Johnson fight. Kirk came into the ring and I honestly thought, "Oh my god! It's the Pillsbury Homeboy!" I say that VK is lucky that his hand didn't get stuck in between those huge rolls of fat when he was body punching.
Not being able to put away Corrie Sanders isn't necessarily a black mark on his record, but it doesn't say much about his power, either.

I did. It's in honor of that idiot who said because having a life took me away from here for a few days, I must have left the boards in shame after the Moron got re-elected.
