Wow, a guy has one dominant performance that doesn't look as good as you think and he's ready for the garbage heap, eh? So Vitali didn't have as much 'pop', that can be overrated at times. First off, you're discounting Johnson, who was pretty good, defensively. Second, Vitali may have realized he had this fight in the bag early on and knew it would be difficult to KO someone who wasn't going to mount any kind of offense and so 'cruised' to a win. Remember Arreola was only a couple months ago and that was a PUNISHMENT. Fully expect Vitali to look more like that than against Johnson when they clash. Vitali's only got, what 40 wins and 2 losses? That's somewhere around 15 fewer than Wlad with that several year layoff. He isn't shopworn because the guy doesn't get into brawls and he's a 'fresh' 38.
