I see you finally watched Vitali vs Byrd!

People laugh when I say Byrd dominated that fight but the punch stats dont lie...

370 MISSED punches? Thats cartoonishly bad accuracy.

They probably laugh because as the stats show, Vitali outlanded Byrd in total punches and had almost a 50% edge in power punches.

Dominated by Byrd indeed.

Just so you know, 370 is about half the punches Calzaghe missed in several fights.

Give Solis credit

I'm a Klitschko fan. And have been for years. Solis, however, is a more gifted fighter than most give him credit for. He is very variable, he's quick and, other than most fighters smaller than the klitchkos, he understands how to get inside. I'm very curious how the somewhat clumsy appearing Vitaly will be able to cope with that combination. I've become converted to the notion of change to a more exciting and battle-riddened heavyweight division. The Klitschkos are effective boxing machines but the Klitchkos don't seem hungry enough to go to battle and go in for the heavy-handed kill.

How do we know that Solis isn't as tough as Briggs? I've seen Briggs knocked the **** out way before he fought Vitali, but I don't believe Solis has been down or stopped as an amateur or pro. I just hope, win or lose, that yall show Solis a little respect after you see the effort he gives.

Wait and see. He's just there for the payday, not to take punishment.

Stop being silly, Byrd won at most 2 rounds.

Just ignore him, he's obsessed with Vitali and only has a couple of very weak things he thinks he can bash him with. It's sad, really.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahah !!!!!!!!! Vitali doesnt even lose rounds. This little fat man (who has looked like **** since turning pro) is a dead man walking. [I]Hope you show up after the fight.

You know they won't -- they didn't after the last Cuban Hope, Gomez, got pummelled by Vitali.

At least Gomez had done something as a pro. SpongeBob Solis has done nothing.

I cant wait to see the look on the face of everyone who thinks Vitali is going to win this fight. Tomorrow Vitali is going to get exposed. Vitali avoided Solis for a reason. Anyone who thinks his uninspired wins in the pros is any indication of what's to come tomorrow is in for a surprise. The sentiment after tomorrow is going to be "Damn!!! I never saw that coming". You heard it hear.. not only is Solis going to win but he is going to embarass Vitali.

Solis at 250 has footspeed, handspeed and one punch knockout power:

But won't you look silly if proven wrong, after all of that...
I'm hoping for a good fight however, as I may go for the PPV

It's not going to happen.... Klitschko... by his own admission Solis is the best fighter he's fought other than Lewis.. and Solis is not an all-time great so what made Vitali an alltime great, his loss to Lewis? Vitali is garbage... which is why he quit against Byrd and why a fat Corrie Sanders had him staggering around all night before he got tired. There is nothing special about Vitali. Just be here when he gets his ass whupped tomorrow night.

But won't you look silly if proven wrong, after all of that...
