Oleg Maskeav Ko'ed Vitaly in the first round

[Nautilus]

that it pretty bad putting someone who is making their debut in there with a 21-0 guy

It's completely nuts ... ditto for his fight with McCall and Tua

[Nautilus]

...the fight was stopped by Vitali's corner due to Vitali throwing punches with his injured arm that he was instructed not to use. After the fight Vitali was very angry at his corner for throwing in the towel.

I have read this too at the Klichko web site. Bultimore Sun says though that there were three knock downs in Round 1, but provides no further detail.

It would be good to find out what exactly happenned.

What about Morrison, he looks like he could have been juiced. The guy has the largest shoulders in boxing.

Holyfeild is definatly juiced.

Edison pantera Miranda looks like he may be aswell.

i think most fighters are on steriods now

[Easy-E]

all very possible, especially Lacy whose excuse was, "I've always been built like this". Yeah, I bet he was 9 years old sporting a 6-pack better than men twice his age

In Lacy's pro debut, he was just as ripped as he is now.

In Lacy's defense,. I have to say. that I know a guy who is just about as ripped as him(well he would be a little fatter, but he still got a six pack) and that guy only exercises like once a week. So it has to do a lot with genetics. Vitaly's problem was that his skeleton(especially joints) wer not capable of taking as much pressure, with him training whole year, they joust could not carry the weight after so much punishment.
My old trainer always used to say that "Amateur boxing makes you faster, stronger and healthier, professional boxing destroys you." And he was right.

I have a 6 pack and 17.5 inch biceps and i work out weights once a week only. I also bike couple of times a week as well. I never used roids, although i competed in weightlifting/powerlifting 10 years ago in russia (not very succesfully), when i was 19-20.

I do not think it is genetic either -- more like a regular exercise and no junk food.

They aren't juicers.

I'm not pointing any fingers........but let me just lay out a couple of names. Tyson, Holyfield, Lacy.

really, u think Holy, I always thought he was just a very decated fighter. I never really suspected him, but now i am
