ROUND 5
A pattern is forming, with Vitali wading ever forward as Wladimir, while not in full retreat, attempts to keep his brother at the end of his jab.
Early in the round, Wladimir lands an uppercut to Vitali's throat, causing him visible distress and possible difficulty breathing. Wladimir lands several body shots, driving Vitali to the ropes. One is a bit off target, causing Cotton to warn Wladimir for kidney punching.
Wladimir goes right back to work on Vitali's body, until being driven away by a clubbing right hand to the head that has him on unsteady legs once again.
Wladimir sidesteps Vitali's charge, escaping the ropes and moving to center ring. Thinking he has his brother hurt to the point of vulnerability, Vitali rushes forward and is met a left jab, right cross and left hook thrown with lightning speed and bad intentions.
And DOWN GOES VITALI!
