Apparently Vitali has a 91% Knock-Out Rate?

Vitali quit because he hurt his shoulder and Byrd was no where near kicking his ass your delusional or a die hard byrd fan if you remember Vitals sholder injury required surgery. Had the injury not occured Vitali was crusing to UD or KO

 

That quote doesn't indicate that it was based on all the fights or all the wins, so we can sit there and go through every article and pin point something that could be true or untrue depending on how you interpert it. my understanding when people refer to KO percentage they generally make up the stat based on wins alone (i could be wrong).

Also some of the posters are so redicouls on this website mixing their highly unbiased opinion with a result of the fight.

Facts on Chris Byrd vs Vitaly

Vitaly was winning the fight by a large majority
Vitaly injured his shoulder and decided not to continue
Vitaly lost the fight due to the injury

thats all there is to it... man some people make it sound like it was a Mayweather vs Diego type of fight.

 

and if Vitali wasn't the quitter fraud that he is and kept it going instead of quitting and covering his loss up fraudulent by excuses Byrd would have knocked him flat out

 

Thumbing is illegal. Boxing ain't a street fight you know.

 

Vitali was hit with bombs from lewis and you think feather fisted Byrd would of koed him ? ha ha ha ha ha your the Joker lol you have a bright future as a comic

 

most of his 'knockouts' are tko, so let's not get overboard with his high 'knockout' percentage

 

He doesn't have the KOs like The Rock did but stopping a man with 12 rounds is not going overboard its submission by acumulation of punches and right now he the 2nd best of all time something to be hailed by boxing fans.

 

Explain to me, then, why was it that Byrd was comprehensively losing the fight on points ii he was the better man? He got a lucky break and Vitali did have a legitimately torn rotator cuff that required surgery.


Chris Byrd got lucky. . .what is so difficult to understand about this?

 

orriray59 try not to keep all inside lol

 

Gotta love all razor thumb theory revisionists

Bremen is clearly as spastic.

 

your a troll and totally delusional. I think you are the only guy I have read that thinks had Vitali not be injured byrd would have "kicked vitalis ass" and "knocked him out"

 

This is such fan-boy crap. Byrd got lucky? Byrd was willing to finish the fight. Vitali wasn't and didn't.
Anybody who has seen that fight knows Vitali COULD have continued. He made a decision. A decision he most likely regrets now. He had no idea how such a decision to quit would affect his personna.
Has he since rebuilt his reputation? I'd say he has.

It was a mistake...but you can't partially erase that mistake and call Byrd "lucky"

 

Hears some food for thought Byrd was an elusive fighter and hard to hit Vitali missed quite a few shots and That could of caused the injury. If you remember Holyfield Injured his shoulder fighting Byrd that being the case Byrd WAS then responsible for both injurys and thats part of boxing and puts things in a different light. Any thoughts on this?

 

deal

bottom line is Byrd was willing to finish the fight and Vitali wasn't thems the breaks. vitali should have sucked up but he didn't so his L is a deserved one, those are the rules of the sport he knew about coming in. Byrd was coming on too strong after Vitali hurt himself and Vitali didn't like his chances so he quit, that's Byrds W baby! He ws game, Vitali was not, sometimes that's all it comes down to.

 

exactly. blocking, slipping punches defense in boxing is a scoring criteria. whatever caused Viali to quit Byrd has to get the credit for and Vitali the blame for being the excuse making fraud that he is.

why did Vitali duck the rematch Chef?
I don't think Byrd would have knocked Vitali out in a rematch, much like Brewster wouldn't have knocked Wlad out on any day but Wlad didn't quit, took it like a man and moved on. but I do think that Byrd had him figured out in the first fight and would have probably clowned him, handed out some proper boxing lesson to that robotic fart or might have made him quit again.
I mean let alone Byrd, why Vitali picking bums like Charr or Sosnowski and never fights anyone half as technically skilled as Byrd was aside from some fat amateurish Cubans who even made him look silly?
What has Vitali ever done that points to him being able to beat someone like Byrd other than that quit job he pulled and all the excuses hes made?
