Klitschko Gets Chris Byrd, Tony Thompson For Sparring

[The Hammer]

He can pick holes in orthodox defenses, that's his main offensive skill I'm not convinced he's a big puncher, especially at HW.

I didn't say he's a "big puncher", I just said he has underrated power. He has decent power, he's far from feather-fisted.

I know everyone has their own opinion on what would or wouldn't have happened later on in their fight, but I find it a bit comical that the article completely omits the mention of a certain Mr. Lewis from the equation.

Or is it just the writer's 'clever' way of hinting that the VitMan didn't quit against Lewis, but did so against Byrd. I don't quite geddit.

It's the author's way of saying Vitali was pulled from a fight he was clearly winning against Lewis & against his wishes m8

All I know is that for beeing so slick, Gomez got hit a lot in the Samil Sam and the McCall fights. He is very similar to Chris Byrd with a bit more power but he gets hit way too much to beat Vitali.

Didn't Byrd make Vitali quit??? Is it possible Vitali quits in sparring

[dblaze9]

Honestly, that is GREAT sparring for both fighters! Good Job to both camps for bringing in quality opposition for training! At least it shows they are taking it seriously...

[WLAD_OWNS]

Ive heard that Tony Thompson has been dominating Vitali in sparring.
