i agree on the stiffness of the klit bros......what are you gonna do?....they`re europeans.....they all fight like like they have an advanced case of spinal menningitis....
that said,lewis came in a tad heavy for this one...around 7 or 8 pounds over his tyson weight.....as a matter of fact,the heaviest of his career...
lewis is obviously the better man....but,this does set up well for klitschko..the weight....the layoff......the switch in opponents...
lewis probably k.o.`s vitali......but,do you have the stones to lay 4 or 5 to 1....i don`t....as a matter of fact,i took a small under bet and a small shot at klit by k.o......
i still have the oliver mccall,rahmann fights buzzing in my brain....
longshot?....yes.........impossible...no..
as for byrd....seems nobody is in a hurry to fight chris...with good reason....lennox wants no part of him.....
and in fairness,byrd was way behind on all cards vs klitschko before he quit.....vitali`s dangerous early....but,he does have a heart problem if pushed hard in fights.......here`s the byrd klitscko fight report.........
"The dubious WBO heavyweight title has once again changed hands. The crown that once worn by Tommy Morrison, Michael Bentt, and Herbie Hide, now rests with American Chris Byrd.
The 8-to-1 underdog Byrd, Flint, Michigan, captured the WBO title when the former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko quit on his stool after nine full rounds. The former Russian amateur star originally from Kiev in the Ukraine, complained that he had injured his left shoulder earlier in the bout and was unable to continue.
Despite clearly controlling the fight and leading on all three judges scorecards, 89-82, 88-83, 88-83, Klitschko maintained the pain in his shoulder was so severe he was worried about further injury."..
byrd was coming on....but,he couldn`t have won a decision....vitali couldn`t suck it up for 3 more rounds......that says something..
