In the game, Vito has been the Pan-American Heavyweight champ for the last 4 years, and in doing so, has displayed all the tools of a great boxer and vast experience. He's scouted as a smart fighter who can handle just about any situation in the ring. But as his confidence grew with each fight, his training and fitness had suffered, and that he tends run out of steam in later rounds. Note: Movie fans may remember Vito Soto as a headline during the Fighter montage in Rocky III. Facing Balboa towards the end of the sequence, he was knocked out hard.
