Wasn't overly impressed with Vitali this afternoon, he fought more like his Brother (and I don't mean that in a good way either), appeared to be noticeably slower than he was against Arreola just a few short months ago, and to be honest the Jab wasn't really stinging Sosnowski, more to keep distance than actual offense. As is the Klit tradition, he finally turned it up a notch and got Albert out of there in the 10th, but I thought he showed some of his 38 years finally catching up to him.

I actually thought that in the Johnson fight where he got marked up with the 5 punches Kirk threw

He looked a bit better last night than the last fight in the fact he was more assertive and dominant but that was probably more the fact that Sosnowski was such an inferior opponent.
I am hoping the Haye camp was waiting for last nights fight to happen to gauge an idea of where Vitali is at to start negotiations with him. Based off that performance, team Haye must fancy their chances of dancing rings around the old man.

I think Kirk might've beat this older version when they fought 7 or 8 years ago (a Vitali blowout). But yeah, your right, I guess it stood out for me more this time because Sosnowski was actualy trying to make the fight, which wasn't the case with Johnson.

I can't imagine the Haye camp looking at Vitali's lumbering performance and not think they'd dart in and out with relative ease.

Would you fancy Haye to beat the Klitschko you saw last night, Murph?
Really hoping we hear things from the Hayemaker camp soon, because I'm getting tired of waiting and defending him lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if Haye pulled out of negotiations with Wlad to fight Vitali now

Davema- I can see where you might think that if you look at it on paper as just another Vitali by 10th Round KO, but to me he was a little slower this time, the Jab less of a assertive weapon and more simply to keeping distance, and like Tontb says, I think Sosnowski was a bit inferior to the other late round Ko victims.
