What a fight. I really liked this one. It was an interesting fight because Gomez wasn't like all of Vitali's previous opponents. This guy, Gomez, had speed and heart.

There wasn't once where I thought VK was in trouble. He had patience and courage, didn't looked troubled at all. VK can take hits and today he showed this, like he showed it when he fought Lennox Lewis. Remind you, VK has NEVER been rocked by an opponent and today it didn't happen either.

The problem was his aerobic fitness. VK was tired after round 1. This was unusual considering he completely smashed Samuel Peter over the course of the match not so long ago. I was surprised and disappointed at this.
I think in the last couple of days, VK overworked himself. Days ago at the weigh-in, he looked great as well as the public training session. Today he looked tired!

JCG, what a fighter. I didn't expect VK to take this long but I knew it would be alot harder than Samuel Peter. I wish JCG had fought SP for the title, VK make a comeback and beat JCG for the Title, it would of made HW boxing more interesting today.
VK, despite using Chris Byrd (South) and Tony Thompson (South) as sparring partners, didn't seem to do very well in the first 2-3 rounds against this Southpaw.

I feel that problem is put down to VK finding it much more difficult to land that right-hand. If VK had landed those first few rights in the early rounds, the fight would of ended by round 5.

Nonetheless, a great and interesting fight. I admire JCG that little bit more but he never had a chance besides winning on a decision. I hope now he can keep his mouth a bit more placid.
VK deserved this and I hope continues to win the next 1-2 years he has left.

Where to from here? I want to see VK fight the Chagaev-Valuev winner to get both those fairies out of the game. VK shouldn't have to fight the 'finished' Maskaev because it would prove another one-sided-boring fight for VK. I want to see Wlad fight Haye in the very near future. I hope then the brothers can fight Povetkin and Arreola, who fights who doesn't bother me.

All the best to the great boxers, Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko.

P.S Natalia (Vitali's wife) looked hot tonight!!!

I am all for Vitali, and second, Wlad.
Wlad would of punished today's Vitali, not the Vitali that fought Peter but today, oh man.

I doubt this will ever, ever happen though. I can see if they beat Haye, Povetkin, Arreola and those two fairies then I feel they may resort to an Exhibition match between each other but even that's unlikely.

Wlad vs Haye then Arreola.
Vitali vs Valuev-Chagaev winner then Povetkin.

That's how I want it anyway. After that, who is left that can be a challenge? Doesn't look like anyone right now.

[Lance Uppercut]

I actually thought Gomez was going to pull it off...up until round 4.

The fight is a preview of the outcome of Wlad-Haye

Gomez: "...I'd like to say I very well could have beat Klitschko, but the cut above the right eye...prevent me from seeing his punches."

JCG was a good opponent for Klitschko. A challenge but he was no more than a harder target to hit. He posed no problem at all and his victory would of come from a decision, nothing more. He wasn't going to win and from round 2, I believe he knew that too. Another boxer who says "If this happened instead I would have won..."
No, no you wouldn't have Gomez.

Just my comments on this.

[Mar]

Ok i'll give ya credit for a few of them punches but damn what about all the others that he slapped your ass with ?? Those are the ones that caused the loss gomez...no biggie no one expected much anyway, no need for excuses.

[Hunter]

Nevermind the cut, his eye wasnt going to hold up for much longer before it was swelled shut. His eye started swelling up in the second round.

[TheDemolitionDan]

Gomez had no chance to win anyway. Cut ot no cut Klitschko was beating down Gomez.

[boozeboxer]

Why do all boxers use the word superfluous??

[CutMeMick]

I thought the action was going to pick up and get interesting midway.

I didn't expect to see Gomez look so flat after just 3-4 rounds. I thought he would have more condition then that, then again I think I was just fooling myself into thinking that a Heavyweight could be in shape in todays state of the division...

Good win for Vitali overall.
