VK Lovers/Haters Listen Up...Sanders Victory Is Underated!

Not sure. I really wouldn't say its an easy win for VK to fight Byrd or Brewster. I think Byrd has a good shot at winning a decision over him. Brewster would K.O. that big robot.

I even think Rahman has a good chance of KO'ing him despite his horrible effort last weekend.

Someone will beat that robot chump. I dunno why some people think highly of him. He's too limited to do anything great.

wow, the guy has been out for a whole 8 months thanks to injuries... 8 whole months, geezus.... byrd hasnt fought in 9 months and he hasnt been injured at all...

No one really cares to see Byrd fight. He's past his prime and a boring fighter to watch to the casual boxing fan. Vitali is the #1 HW and everyone knows it.

This is why Byrd was already loosing 7 out of 9 rounds when he fought an INJURED Vitali.

Yes, Byrd will UD in a rematch.

And this is why Brewster was Wlad's punching bag for 5 rounds, until he ran out of gas trying to finish him.

You're a genious!

Remember

My problem with VK is he hasn't done anything to prove any greatness. He beat an old out of shape Corrie Sanders and two journeymen. Anytime he has stepped up he has lost. His biggest win was a loss to Lennox Lewis and he lost to Chris Byrd. Thats doesn't sound great to me, if he beats Rahman I will give him credit.

Yes ofcourse, but one must remember that it was only because he was injured. He was a long way up on points and was completely dominating the superb boxing skills of the light punching Byrd! He showed a very good chin by taking the huge power shots that the massive punching Sanders landed! I rate him as the number 1 heavywieght at this time.
Later brother brologs.

hasim rahman took it a few times..........and came back to win a stoppage.

Here at BS we have VK lovers and we have VK haters, we have kool aid drinkers who could see VK humping a kitten in an alley after getting KO'd by Frans Botha and they would still find a way to defend him.
On the otherside of the coin you have similiar kool aid drinkers who watch his war with Lennox Lewis and refuse to give him any credit what so ever for the loss, sure it was a loss but it was one helluva a performance by VK, sure his face let him down but he was as game as any HW in the division could have been against the champ...yet there are many who talk about this loss like he was iced in two rounds.

Now, I hear a lot of bad mouthing VK for his win over an out of shape Corrie Sanders? Yes Corrie was out of shape and did not intend to fight for 12 hard rounds but did that matter?

What did Corrie care about? Well, many experts in the division before the fight took place stated that Sanders had the heaviest hands in the division, if he landed the left hand any fighter in the division was going to be in trouble. Well Sanders decided to test that theory and sit back waiting on VK so he could counter with the left hand and counter he did, he scorched VK with the left many times and stunned him a few times.

Vk survived every big left hand, showed a very good beard as he did in the Lewis fight and showed unlike his little brother that there is no panic in him when he gets caught.

I can think of some other HW's who would not have taken Sanders's left hand half as well, can you? Sanders is an athlete as we all know and I dont give a **** who he fights chances are he will find a way to land the left, unfortunately for Corrie he fought a guy that could take the left and keep fighting...Sanders was not anticipating this.

So when people rag on VK for beating an out of shape Sanders I think they are being too negative. Corrie fought his fight, he landed his big left a number of times and he thought that was going to be enough just like it was enough against Wlad. How many southpaws are in this division? How many southpaws who are as athletic as Corrie and who punch as hard as he does exist in this division?

The win was not a great win but it certainly showed me a lot in terms of VK, he can take a punch, he knows how to recover, he is resourceful and patient etc.

He is not yet the king that many think he is but he is not the dog that many make him out to be either, the jury is still out but when watching him fight Corrie Sanders if you refrain from drinking the kool aid it is not hard to see some very positive signs from the big guy.

Now if we could only get him in the ring!
