    Of course it is it's a myth Vitali was dominating Byrd it was an extremely competitive fight that Byrd had 1 week notice to prepare for. And he went to Vitali's backyard and fought a very competitive fight and won vs a much larger opponent with every disadvantage you could imagine.

    Not on the cards, it wasn't. Byrd was down on every single card.
