    No, Vitali was winning the rounds. But Vitali himself stated that Byrd did hurt him with body punches.

    He was well in the fight but he was not winning at the time the fight was stopped at all.

    Strange how a guy who's regarded as having zero power has managed to make Tua, Ibeabuchi and Vitali mention his body punching hurts. Crazy.

    On the subject of Chris Byrd, this is an awesome career highlight someone posted a few months ago;

    If he had lost all next rounds he would still have won.

    That Byrd highlight is epic. He was actually a really good HW and he wasn't even a natural heavy. He had some really fast hands.

    The real reason he quit watch and see feather fisted Byrd backing Vitali up who clearly has no answer.

    Note how many left punches Vitali throws with his "injured" hand.

    I was heistant to watch the video at first, but damn, Byrd was amazing. I never saw any of his young fights. I guess he too a more boring approach at he started to face the huge guys in the division. Against guys his own size (relatively speaking) he seemed to let his hands go.

    It also caught my eye that he had the crowd going in a lot of these fights. I seem to recall a lot of people didn't like him because he was boring. Again, this must have been when he adopted a more safety first approach?
