How Byrd ripped Vitali's shoulder and made him quit...

[The Hammer]

Byrd was a defensive genius. He gave Vitali problems...

But Wladimir was a horrible style matchup for CB

Wladimir has faster hands and anticipated Byrd's movements.

Tyson and Ali would have a field day with this guy ...

hahaha not bad

[check hook]

Tyson and Ali would have a field day with this guy ...

a yound dfefensively minded tyson who constantly moved the head (rooney in his corner) would beat Vitali and Wlad quite easily.............

Vitali dominated Byrd. It was a serious freak injury.

.

Freak injury?

You obviously never punched a day in your life if you think that was a freak accident. A missed punch takes A LOT out of you, and if you are putting your entire body into punches and hitting nothing but air you risk tearing something... like Vitali did his rotator cuff.

And in the interview Vitali thought he was losing on the cards. lol Have you actually even seen this fight?

well this is not like you Klitards aren't always talking about how Vitali was ahead on the cards and was robbed of a win in a fight he actually lost at the hands of Lewis. same with the ''he dominated Byrd, but had a freak injury''. very ironic to hear this from you, because Klitards live in the past a whole lot

a least now I'll know why you said several times that Byrd caused Vitali's injury, as I thought it was nonsense

it makes a bit of sense now

I'm still not convinced though, because Byrd didn't make Vitali miss to cause a shoulder injury, he made him miss because it was his defensive style to move his upper body instead of blocking punches, so it's a bit over the edge to say Byrd ''caused'' the injury on his own

This thread has absolutely nothing to do with Wladimir. More of a response to those who said Vitali would KO Ali in 2 rounds.

Every Vitali opponent after Byrd was either fat(arreola,Peter), old(Lewis, Sanders) or flat-footed(Sosnoski, Hoffman) A quick Heavyweight like Ali would give Vitali problems.

Wladimir is much better at dealing with quickness.

Prime Chris Byrd was a defensive master. It doesn't really give a blueprint to beat Vitali other than hope he gets injured though. Same thing Lewis showed us.
