Pure bull****. Sam Peter's exact words: "No more, no more." He was being humiliated and beaten like a punching bag and wanted out. Also notice that while he has called for rematches with Wlad, he's been very quiet about wanting to fight Vitali again.
Brewster agreed to quit when asked if he wanted to by Buddy McGirt. But he obviously wanted out.
Vitali was winning the Byrd fight, so obviously the injury was pretty bad. But it's always interesting that there are so few real problems in Vitali's career that this perceived one is always revived by certain people. Since he's never been knocked unconscious by a journeyman like Hasim Rahman or Crackbaby McCall, the Byrd fight is about it, along with a cut inflicted by Lennox Lewis in another fight Vitali was winning.
