Chris Byrd vs Vitali Klitschko: My Scorecard with Comments

Hopkins didn't rematch the bum that beat him in his first fight. Guess we don't know if Hopkins would ever have beat him.

 

If Vitali can fight 12 rounds at 40 I'm pretty sure he could fight 12 at 28. Dino the ret@rd seems to think Vitali was about to lose to exhaustion every fight that he wins or loses.

 

who is the joker who is comparing a first fight to a title fight, and to make matters worse, thinks his point is strong enough to warrant a chuckle of victory?

 

Nothing odd about it. He injured his arm against Chisora early (not as badly) and considered quitting but didn't want that crazy ret@rd to win.

That and the surgery. Jesus Christ. :rofl

Someone mentioned that not all surgeries create big noticable scars.

The fight with Byrd was less than four months after his last fight. His next fight after Byrd was eight months later. His next fight after that was two months later.

 

By your logic there is no proof that Hopkins could beat the bum who beat him in his first fight. Hey, I think it's stupid but that's your thinking. I mean, why not rematch that bum?

Oh, just a reminder. Nest week on the 22nd of April Wlad will be the #1 boxer in the world for nine straight years! :yep Please don't bring up that P4P midget boxing bullsh!t.

 

Vitali had rotator cuff surgery. You don't really go straight into a title fight when you come out of a surgery stiching a tendon back together.

 

how is it my thinking?

YOU ALONE are the only one who raises the point of rematching a first ever fight in a career as proof of being able to beat that person. Byrd is not a bum facing a guy with the primitive skills of someone with zero fights.

Do not project your failures onto others in future.

 

Maybe thats because the guy he fought only had 5 more fights and that was after a 7 year layoff after fighting Hopkins. Maybe had he continued fighting and had established himself the way Hopkins did, maybe if he had been highly ranked alongside Hopkins for years the rematch would have happened. Kind of like the way Hopkins rematched Allen, Echols, Dawson, Pascal and Taylor.

Stupid comparison by a stupid poster. Nice try Corky.

 

Sorry. No rematch, no proof. Clinton Mitchell has Hopkin's number! :rofl

 

Sorry, had you mixed up with idiot #2.

 

Yes he certainly did. Just like Byrd had Vits number. Only difference is Byrd was around to be rematch and was ducked instead. Did i mention the size difference and how Byrd took the fight on ten days notice? Lmao!!

 

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?

 

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.

 

At this rate of historical revisionism, in another decade or two Byrd would have won every round and had Vitaly stunned badly in the 10th prompting the retirement.

 

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