    thats why people were dogging vitali for so long...he was so far ahead but didnt want to fight 1 armed and just kinda stay away for the last few rounds...being 6 foot 7 or 6 foot 8 , 245 pounds and byrd being 6 foot 1 (maybe 2) and 210 pounds...its looked bad.....because others have fought with arms nearly hanging off and wouldnt quit. others have had broken jaws....but, who knows...his choice...seem to work out

    Byrd wasn't outboxing him but started to come on strong late in the fight and Vitali looked like he was running out of gas so he stopped. His shoulder looked fine, since he was using the arm all the way until the stoppage, and after the fight. Byrd beat him legit.

    You want to compare that version of Tyson with Tyson in his prime?, are you mentally stable by any chance?

    Danny Williams would have been fried in a round or two against a prime Tyson, Danny Williams is tomato can stuff for prime Tyson, if you don't know yet. Didn't Danny Williams lose to Julius Francis? :lol:

    Prime Danny Williams beats any version of Tyson, Buster Douglas schooled a prime Tyson and Williams beats Douglas 9 times out of 10.

    Danny Williams was like Rocky Balboa, he never had a prime.

    this video tells it all.....klit was missing badly the whole fight. byrd was working his body. larry and jim were both full of ****. klit would land clean shots and byrd stood right there. byrd landed clean shots that bopped klits head back and larry calls him feather fisted. part of what makes hbo so bad is that those 2 don't have a clue or either have an agenda that is so easy to see thru it's pathetic. klit didn't hurt his shoulder...he was gassed and his corner knew he was about to be stopped. they saved his ass.

    Vitali was on his way to losing via gassed out TKO, like many of Byrd's large opponents. He opted to go out in a manner which he likely thought would be legitimate at the time, but it ended up being even more embarrassing.

    Byrd seperated the man from the boy that night. :happy:happy
