To the haters, by saying that Vitaliy is washed up because he lost 3 or 4 rounds to Chisora you are just proving how good the man is.

Pretty pathetic, really. I'm not a fan of the Klitschkos as fighters. I think they're very respectable men; I just don't like watching them fight. But the hate for them runs deep. Actually, the hate for their fans runs deep, and there's monumental eagerness to watch their heroes fall.

Hate blinds. Klitschko detractors want to call the shoulder injury an "excuse." They want to focus on the three or fours rounds that Chisora won as evidence that the elder Klitschko isn't "all that," or that he's done. The fact is that an old, one-armed Vitali clearly defeated a younger, determined foe.

Desperate, grasping at straws, I tells ya....

I don't think we needed yet another thread about this, but no, Vitali wasn't struggling. The British commentary made it sound like Vitali was out of breath and tired, when in fact Vitali fights with his mouth open in all of his fights.

Vitali was clearly uncomfortable, which is something we haven't seen in a long time. Even the rounds Vitali won weren't all completely one sided. It was a good fight, and not many guys give Vitali a good fight.

I havent seen the fight yet, but did Vitali do as well as Fury against Chisora which i did see?

Yes. Chisora pressured him but landed very little.

It is one of those situations where a guy wasn't in any danger of losing but really wasn't performing up to expectations.

When you get as high in the sport as Vitali is, just beating a guy really isn't enough to impress people unless the guy the guy across from him is also special which Chisora is not.

Plus Vitali is getting up there and people want to sound smart by getting ahead of the curve, which is his assumed decline. It makes sense and if someone wants to go back to make a trend line for his last few fights that line would likely be going down to any reasonable observer.

Still the level he is at is good enough to beat pretty much anyone out there to me that isn't his brother. In a year that may be different but maybe not.

Vitali was expected to KO Chisora in the early to mid-rounds, especially after he slapped him.

What happened was the opposite, Chisora actually took 3-5 rounds off him and finished the fight stronger.

Vitali won the fight clearly, but not easily.

It was actually a decent fight that had a few exciting moments, not very common for a Klitscho fight.
