For those who don't know but are interested, Vitali and his brother, Wladimir, dominate the heavyweight boxing division. They are heroes back home and in Germany, where they sell out arenas and stadiums. Here in the USA, virtually no one knows about them. or care like they did Muhammad Ali or even Mike Tyson.

Saw the fight last night. Vitali has an awkward/stiff style, but he dominated a top contender with ease. Yep, he and his bro completely dominate the division. I’d love to see a “Battle of the Klitschkos”, but I doubt that’ll ever happen.

?? Are they being ignored because Don King cannot screw them over or because they are the wrong color?

We watched the fight last night and Klitschko was very methodical in his boxing. He seemed to have a goal and didn’t deviate for a second. Plus he has an arm reach that his opponent couldn’t get around. Nothing flashy about him, he just got the job done.

That’s why I hated fighting taller boxers. You have to work you ass off just to get close to them and by the time you do get to them you’re too damn tired to hit them.

We watched the fight last night, and have seen the brothers before. I have always been impressed with how polite, well spoken, and humble they are. We are always impressed with both of them. In sharp contrast, his opponent dropped the f-bomb, including the mf-bomb, no less than 5 times during his comments following the match. I know he was upset, but the difference between the two was profound.

I grew up watching boxing on ABC’s Wide World of Sports, Olympics, and ESPN. Now that I am exposed to K1, Pride Fighting, and the UFC, I can’t sit through a single round of boxing.

This is the same reason why you dont see any white running backs anymore - its an unwritten rule.

PS - If you want to see some boring fights, dig up old Ali fights when he did his “RopaDope” for 10 rounds - THAT made you want to throw the TV out the window.
