The Secret To Beating Vitali Klitschko.

[Pno]

yeah, that's my take on it..
someone like sanders, who also confuses boxers due to being a southpaw. Sanders is def. a quick, powerful counter-puncher. And like someone said, he was the closest to legitimately beating VK. I think once VK's head was rocked back by sander's powershot, VK changed his approach and ended up with the title.

all this specualtion is of course if VK's chin has a crack in it. If he can take punches like Holyfield, then it would have to be an entirely different approach, not one of KO'ing VK, but by outboxing him and lasting till the end. Then the horrific decisions of the judges could play into it. and if it's one of DK's men, then I shutter to think

plus, VK will most likely get a rematch clause in his next championship fight, so he'll have time to consider his next approach...

Get in close and take away his height advantage. Abuse the body cuz he breathes hard early in the fight. Head movements, why don't no one use head movements. Oh yah most important thing, DON'T COME IN OVERWEIGHT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HE FOUGHT lol

[Pno]

I think you're right with the body shots as well...
maybe a counter-puncher who focuses on body punches...

only thing is that some have had that as their plan, but weren't able to succeed, we'll see how it goes, maybe someone will do it right and maybe pull it off!

as far as the head movements, one thing I've noticed recently that I've also commented on, is how VK throws punches AT a target, but not all the way. One commentator during the Williams fight mentioned that. I guess that's faking the punches. That's the best way to neutralize the difficulties of someone with good head movement. Make them bob with the fake, then blast them with the real thing!!

This sounds very easy. Maybe they should hire you as a consultant. I think that you can get a big remuneration for this advise.

Who said it was gonna be easy? I'm just saying that is what you have to do. There is plenty Klit can do to stop this from happening. He is alot more phyisically strong than most of his opponents will be. So all he has to do is shove them back outside and hit them from a distance again.

[Pno]

yeah, he seems to use the old flailing arms technique now a days when someone gets inside. He just pushes away and/or puts his long arms out front so any punch from his opponent hits the arms on the way..
effective, but maybe not for every attack..

[LuKahnLi]

His opponents need to tighten their shots up. Throw straight shots to the body when he raises his arms.

[!!Captain]

I think the secret to Vitaly is to keep backing him up. When someone throws a punch he backs up and freezes. Back him up with 3 to 4 jabs and unload on him.

I think that Williams was trying to do exactly that to VK in rounds 3-7. The only result was the 2 KD of Williams. VK is a great counterpuncher, I don't think that would work at all.

[LuKahnLi]

Klit is ordinary. What is EXTRAORDINARY is his range.

He doesn't even have that much one shot power. I don't think I have seen Lewis or Sanders stand up to as many clean shots as I saw them take from V. Klit.

...VK will never have a fight go to a decision again. As if many have gone there in the past. He is more agressive than he used to be and he knows to keep it comeing when his guy is gassed. His cumulative punches wear a guy down and they have nothing left to finish with to make it to a decision. The only way he loses is by knockout early with some kind of huge punch that lands flush and is followed by several more. Otherwise, he wears down and knocks out his opponent every time.

Actually, based on his past...
he's never been KO'd or even knocked down!
his only 2 losses are due to injury.
