vitali Klitschko vs J C Gomez 3-21-09

[BoomBoom]

Gomez looking mentally beaten

[BoomBoom]

About time. Gomez was game but, he was completely broken. He fought as best as he could, Vitali is just so freakin big and strong. Didnt think Vitali looked great though.

[VictorCharlie]

He better come in better shape and a lot more technically sound if he ends up fighting Haye

[superheavyrhun]

Vitali looked competent, but Gomez didn't have the tools to dismantle him and Klitschko was comfortable, and ought to have put him away earlier. At least gives Haye a plan b again if Wlad gets jelly-legs regarding the fight.

Over to RTE now for the Bernie Dunne bout.

Call me crazy but I think Wlad would have beat that version of Vitali.

Gomez did what he could, but his gameplan wasn't quite right, smothering his work and trying to hook over the arm of a guy that much taller were bad ideas.

Vitali looked to have very poor conditioning, he did what we all expected in the end, but not nearly the way at least I expected. I'm sure some of it was from Gomez bouncing around though.

[Hunter]

Well Vitali did what was expected. It was an ugly fight but that can be blamed on Gomez, who bascally kept charging inside and than tieing up.

You cant fault Klitschko for the fight being a stinker because Gomez wasn't throwing and basically just wanted to clinch the whole time.

Vitali looked pretty good, nothing spectacular. Gomez did what he could early, but he wasn't in the best of shape and plus there's not much you can do against a giant. It was ok not as boring as I thought it would be.

Also, ESPN's coverage was horrible I hope there are no more big fights on ESPN. Stick with HBO or Showtime.

Are you out of your mind I think they did a fine job, and would love to see more fights on ESPN.

Really? I thought the camera angles were horrible and it wasn't even in HD. Atlas and Brian Kenny did a good job calling the fight, but the whole brodcast stunk IMO.

It was choppy. But I think they had no control,and were calling it from Stateside Studio with major editing and camera,interviews being decided by local German (?)broadcasters.Some how regardless...Teddy still came off like he had jet lag

Agree I mean this was a HW title fight with the second best (Depending on who you ask) HW in the world....The last HW champion to have a live HW title fight on TV for free was Lennox Lewis on FOX network.....That was a long time ago.....(SHO/HBO do not count as free they are premimum chanels)...

I wish the trend would continue
