Wait hold up you agree that Bryd really beat both Golata and Oquendo? Wow. Whats next you agree that De la hoya beat Sturm? Or you agree with the decision of Holyfield beating Ruiz in the first fight? lol come on man. Both golata and oquendo mostly with oquendo was pure robbed.
How can Byrd be a "stylistic nightmare" for Vit when he was being shut out on the cards? Byrd just got lucky the guy ripped his rotator cuff.
It matters nothing how the injury happened. Fact is that Vitaly showed that he was the far better boxer.... and the fight showed us that if they fought 100 times Byrd would be happy to win one ... and that one he could only win in one way.... that Vitaly somehow twisted a knee, tore a ligament somewhere, or got a huge gashing wound in his face from a glove or er head. Those things can happen in boxing, but they are rare... and the fight showed us that Byrd could never win on points nor could he even KO Vitaly.... so only chance would be through one of these rare instances.
Stylistic nightmare? What are you people talking about. This fight was heading into a wide UD decision in favour of the Ukrainian.
Ffs. Why did I even bother? No I think golota and byrd won 6 rounds a piece. I think byrd beat fres 7 rounds to 5. I think sturm dominated oscar and have no idea how you can think otherwise. I had it 9-3 to felix. I think ruiz beat holyfield 7-5 in the first fight and i'm not sure how you think holyfield won it. I also think holyfield won the rubbermatch. Please don't respond because i'm too polite to ignore you but I don't wish to keep up this conversation.
Hmmmmm I expect better from a guy in his early twenties. I guess this was too long ago for you to watch live and you probably never took the time to watch the full fight? Rewatch it and let me know how you score rounds 5-9 please.
Byrd caused the injury to Vitali in the same way as Calzaghe's opponents caused Cal's hand injuries [i.e being the person getting punched!]
Nay_Sayer seems to have accepted his role as the General Forum's SnM *****. Its like he's intentionally being as stupid as possible now so he can get smacked around. Well, he'll get no more sick sexual pleasure from my keyboard thrashings. :bart (Nay_Sayer logging on to Eastside Boxing Forums) This content is protected Yes, the known Afrocentric is probably a middle aged balding white man.
Vitali got injured by something that Byrd had no control of. Vitali, uninjured, destroys Byrd. This has nothing to do with styles, Vitali has faced people who were faster and had better defensive styles and Vitali ultimately punished them. Wlad killing Byrd twice enough proves the point.
