    Vitali was breathing heavily from the 4th onwards and at times looked cumbersome and crude. Gomez never busy enough but did stagger Vitali.

    Both should retire - the skill level was poor. Like watching two old men fight.

    Compared to 2002 -Vitalis jab was not as good, he was slower, his timing was off and he got shook by a former Cruiserweight who hasn't much power. It was just so cumbersome and Gomez let me down but he looked his age - 35. Gomez before his eye went found Vitali easy to hit and even shook him - not bad for a non puncher.

    Gomez shut eye ended the fight for him and his ambition - he simply couldn't see out of it and in the end wanted a way out - but Vitali was so knackered it took him 2 rounds more than it should of.

    The fight on a skills level was terrible.

    Now the VK charade will roll on with Maskaev. Though I think Vitali might call it a day after that fight - he found that alot tougher than he thought he would over his old sparring partner. But some still are fooled into thinking Vitali is the fighter he once was and at 37 he simply isn't.

    DAWGSWIN, I read on ESPN.com that the point deduction was for "gouging"

    Rob, Vitali was fine, this is the type of fight you can't take much from because the guys knew each other so well....did we learn anything from Rahman-Barrett Vitali's jab isn't as good as Wladimir's....Vitali paws his jab and Vitali likes to land more power punches.

    Maybe Vitali didn't want to look TOO dominant to coax Valuev into a match.
