It's not necessarily what you tell the fighter to do against Vitali rather train a fighter that has the attributes to beat someone like Vitali. Speed is vital against someone like Vitali the ability land scoring punches whilst using superior movement to get out of range at the same time.
Fitness is also key since most likely the fight will be a 12 rounder therefore only a true athlete can hang in with a Klitschko for the long run. Power is also needed as a deterent to make the big man think twice about keep coming forward and even after all that you have to make sure the job is convincing since you're not geting a decision for nothing in Germany
You have to be strong as a bull, and I mean a BULL. Best way to beat Vitali, evil body punches and maybe the same physical attributes x 2 in strength. Vitali is so strong and got maybe one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen in the Lewis fight, man were he bleeding.
george foreman seemed to think the key to beating prime vitali was to go in and out and throw quick combinations
i tend to agree with him
a guy that big is going to pick off a jab from the outside all night
and eventually hit you with the right hand over it (or around the side, in vitalis case)
vitali's head is open for an overhand right
and the hook on the way out
and that's about it unfortunately
problem is that he's got an iron chin
and it's highly unlikely to hurt him
i'd keep my towel in hand, though
it woudlnt be an easy fight for anybody
and if you arent careful you can look back and say "damn, we're in the 11th, my guy has no chance of winning, and he's taking a hell of a beating"
Honestly, if you don't have the talent, you're not beating him, and even in that case, he probably will find a way to kick your ass, that's the thing about him.
