I don't see Vitali committing to the KO so I see him fighting a controlled fight jabbing, moving and tying Mike up when in close...I believe it's Vitali by decision.
Vitali is far too slow for that strategy.
I'd argue that he's not as slow as you think with an excellent chin, he's also far taller than anyone Mike Tyson ever beat....Styles make fights and this is not a good match up for Iron Mike (coming from a Tyson fan)
Tyson fought Biggs, Tucker who were similar height with little trouble.
