Just like your employee's have access to your cash registers and steal all your profits from that ****py night club you probably do not even own. :rofl

Perhaps you could ask Vits for a job when you eventually go broke?

How is it being an obscure author suffering fake ailments and begging for attention on internet forums? Tell your mom i said hello, ok Joe.

I personally think Vitali won 5 of the 9 rounds. I think with the momentum Byrd would have likely took the last 3 rounds.

This notion that all Vitali had to do was finish the fight is a bit misguided and detracts from how well Byrd fought in this fight.

Regardless of how it's scored by judges and those watching themselves, people have to accept that atleast 6 of the 9 rounds where mega competitive due to Byrd's accuracy and Vitali being ineffective aggressively (maybe due to the arm injury).

I'm not naive enough to think Byrd would hands on beat Vitali in a rematch, the opposite is more likely. I just feel that Byrd doesn't get near enough credit for his performance. Obviously he got the official victory but fan wise he doesn't get much credit and that's wrong imo.

Not really, the footage is there for all to see, we don't need revisionism.

Footage is only available to fans of the sport, not fanboys of certain fighters. To them facts are fiction and fiction, facts.

I would very much welcome you as long as you brought me an autographed copy of one of your books Joe. But only provided you're done with your treatments and are strong enough. Now its back to boxing, but you have a special night Freedom.

My scoring for Vitali vs Byrd:

Round 1: Each fighter lands 2 punches. The rest is ineffective aggression by Vitali and good defense by Byrd. 10-10.

Round 2: Vitali lands a couple at the start, then Byrd lands a couple of good counters later. Byrd makes Vitali look like an amateur for the rest of it, landing a few counters. 10-9 Byrd.

Round 3: Vitali has Byrd cornered for 30 seconds, and can not land one decent punch. So far in the fight, Byrd has taken punches only to his gloves! One good punch lands for each.

10-10.

Round 4: Vitali misses a series of punches, and Byrd lands a crisp overhand left. Vitali lands 4 decent rights as Byrd moves in on him. 10-9 Vitali.

Round 5: Byrd chases the big man around the ring for the whole round, taking zero punches and landing about 5 clean shots on Vitali's head. 10-9 Byrd.

Round 6: They trade ineffective punches as Byrd moves forward the whole round.

10-10.

(After 6 rounds, they have landed almost the same number of punches, but Byrd has landed several clean effective ones, and Vitali zero.)

Round 7: Byrd blocks almost everything Vitali throws, and lands a few counters.

Vitali has 25% accuracy so far, compared to Byrd's 39%. 10-9 Byrd.

Round 8: Byrd feels Vitali is getting weak, and presses forward, but gets hit with a few good counters. 10-9 Vitali.

Round 9: Vitali still can't land a clean punch, and Byrd plays games with him as he counterpunches Vitali into pure frustration. Byrd is now walking Klitschko down.

10-9 Byrd.

Vitali quit on his stool. All excuses are just words. He could have fought with one hand. Ali and Abraham fought with broken jaws. Marciano fought with two noses. Vitali could have relied on his other arm. He didn't think he could avoid getting stopped (tired, anyone?).

Jim Lampley: "I can't beilieve it."

Then don't, Jim!

Larry Merchant: "All he had to do was stay on his feet for 3 rounds."

Then maybe it wasn't really his arm. Maybe he was just exhausted. He quit. Period. There's a reason, and we may never know it. But he quit.
