Just another case of a big heavyweight beating a small heavyweight. Vitali didnt show us anything we didnt already know.

True, Plus Gomez fell apart like a cheap suit. I too thought Gomez was doing well. Then Vitali pick up the pace and started to land right hands.

Thats a different fight to the one I watched. I thought it was a proper bad fight tbh. Vitali looked a bit knackered and was just pawing out and Gomez was doing bugger all really. As soon as he felt Vitalis power he looked like he wanted out of there and was looking to go down I thought.

Let's not sell JCG short here...I mean I figured Vitali would handle him pretty easy on account of the fact he barely beat Oliver McCall. But if JCG could handle some of those right crosses (I'm assuming) then he's not all that bad....he has decent handspeed and although he's a small heavyweight he hung in there vs Vitali. He did what he had to do to keep in the fight for so long.

Let's not keep writing off heavyweights who lose to either Klitschko or any title holder. That is more what is wrong with the division than anything. It's like whoever loses is sent off into obscurity: Sam Peter, Calvin Brock, Sultan Ibragimov, Tony Thompson, Ray Austin...the list goes on, but those fighters are still very tough competition for everyone other than the title holders.
