quitali retired on his stool because byrd was walking him down,making him miss and hitting him more than than what quitali expected.due to all the mismatches and outmatched opponents he had thrown his way,Vitali didnt know how to deal with someone who actually put up a fight.when byrd gave him all the fits that he did he panicked and quit.
in a rematch? byrd definately would have done better had he been given alot more time to prepare as he came in as a very late replacement.byrd had Vitali all figured out by the time he stopped vitali.
Its a shame that vitali ducked a rematch
Rule #1 for knowing which posts to ignore:
If the poster uses childish nicknames for boxers. (Pacroid, Quackiao, Quitali, Gayweather)
The plain fact that Vitaly was winning the fight 'comfortably', as people are putting it, makes his decision to quit as one of the worst in recent memory....
I am one that thought Byrd was fustrating Vitali and dominating him towards the end. An immediate rematch would just be a continuation of the first bout. Vitali did not dominate every round. He was even backing up later in the fight.
