im not a klitichio hater both boys seem like nice guys but all this only fighting in germany means they will never get credit, vlad has been given some very good treatment by refs there and is allowed to get away with spoiling tactics in his fights that wouldnt be allowede in the us r uk and most of thee fights are bloody boring, fights in germany have little cred with people like me since the dak days of sven ottke i would like to see the brothers fight out of germny maybe then they would get some real credit
Only by haters like you. Most other people respect Vitali. Most other people recognize that it's better to use your brain and "quit" to prevent a much more serious injury. Yeah, Byrd is a relatively light puncher, but this is the heavyweight division. Anything can happen. A few hard punches to the torn shoulder muscle, and Vitali could've been a cripple for life. Yeah, he said that before anyone had any idea about the extent of Vitali's injury. Jesus, man, use your head.
Perhaps I would've respected Vitali if he had not been caught using performance enhancing drugs. He's a proven quitter and a cheater. That's a big no-no in my book.
