I hope David Haye does his homework and mixes up his arsenal when and if he fights Vlad instead of just headhunting. Someone should call Mike Mccallum or MAB for advise on going to the body in the heavies because it seems to be a forgotten art there.
I think if you went to the body on the Klitchskos you would be asking for trouble, especially on Wlad because he has fast hands and when you go to the body you leave yourself open upstairs and they would make you pay. The body on the Klitchskos is pretty solid and would take a while to have an impact. Besides, one of the main reasons you go to the body is so the fighter brings their hands down......Both brothers fight with their left hand down already....
I see your points but I really think a good left to the liver might change the tide if someone knew how to throw it especially when they over extend with their right hands or when they swing wide with their left hooks the way Vitali did a few times tonight. I know it can be easier said then done because I'm not in there with them but I really think if a fighter with speed and power and could feint alot could have a really good night against these 2. Almost like a young Tyson was when he started out.
I see where you are coming from but the Klitchskos are masters of keeping the distance and if you went to the body you would be reaching and that would leave you wide open upstairs.....

The other thing is these brothers have power in both hands. it seemed like Gomez tryed to come out fast and swarm Vitali but once you eat a couple shots (even jabs) you think twice.....Vitali didnt even seem to be landing any clean jabs and it seemed like Gomez's right eye was swelling shut by the 3 or 4th round.....
