Byrd... about to knock out Vitali?

[Mr. Ryan]

Okay, it's an old theory, but I brought it up because Chris had an interview in Boxing News two weeks ago where he claimed Vitali pulled out of their bout because he was about to engineer a KO and Klitscho knew it. Thoughts?

He knows King won't throw him to the dogs. He talks pretty big, huh?

Byrd knocking Vit???

You need dynamite and not a feather to take out a cliff.

[tracylee]

It's gotten to the point in the last month or two where I'd love to see it. What a shame, but that's the truth

[simeraksou]

byrd is always in at least a half defensive mode so he doesn't get much power from his punches.

[Eyeh8you]

vitali left with a torn rotator cuff i believe. it would be hard to fight with such an injury and it would leave a fighter having to defend himself with one arm. even byrd can tko a one armed fighter. so byrd stopping vitali isnt so far fetched.

Just watch the fight. Byrd was in no way abot to KO Vitali!
Vitali just didnt think he could continue. I think he should have ran for the rest of fight and won on the huge lead he had, but thats ancient history now.

Chris Byrd couldn't knock down a lamp.

I don't know about Byrd pulling off a KO, but if Ruiz took Byrd's place he would've hugged Vitali to a late stoppage; that's if Vitali continued fighting with that bum shoulder

Doubt Byrd can do it, and hope Toney will do it.

I wouldent put my money one either, yes a like Vit but he need real competiton, needs a fight thats hard,close and interresting.

The only time ive seen it was against LL.
