I agree, Wlad is a much better boxer, a better technician with a superb jab. However, Vitali was a fighter to the bottom of his soul, teak tough with a granite chin and very strong and durable.

The big question "what would happen if Wlad fought someone as big as he is, who would not be intimidated and who would be strong enough to rough him up and not allow himself to be held and leaned on?" proudly be answered.

Vitali would bully him and Wlad would panic up close. The jabs and big right would just bounce off Vitali and I see a mid rounds stoppage as soon a Vitali can close the distance and start busting Wlad up
