NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 I say Vitali wins via 6th round KO. I won't even be watching this, as it screams HBO premium channel main event, NOT ppv. Vitali is fun to watch and all, but I don't see why a fight against Danny Williams who beat a sucky Tyson is even on PPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Has the heavyweight division really been reduced to this? I know that Williams beat Tyson but I don't think he's got any kind of drawing power for PPV. Oh well, Vitali will destroy him within 5 rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Actually Vitali is a draw, the problem is, no one else offers any type of background or story to rival him. When Lennox Lewis retired he probably took with him the potential for one of the bigger purses for a fight in some time, as the boxing world was wanting that rematch badly.

Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 I'd much rather watch Danny Williams over John Ruiz or Chris Byrd anyday. But, that's not saying much. Vitali K - 4th Round TKO. This is an HBO PPV, correct? If I don't go elsewhere to see this, I'll wait till next weekend. It should be shown before the Tarver/Johnson fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Happy Medium 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 The man you need to fight Vitali is one very big asshole of a person that will cause Vitali to bring out the dick inside of him...so he can fuck the asshole before the asshole in this case shits all over the boxing public..who are pussies. Basically, they need good versus bad. Big K takes Williams down in the 6th with a TKO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Yeah, I don't really see any other outcome. Tyson was able to catch Williams in their fight, and suffice to say Vitaly is a lot faster than Tyson at this stage of the game. He's also bigger, so Williams is going to have to deal with a size disadvantage as well. I say KlitschKO inside of 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Well, I guess everybody sees the early round KO here, and it's pretty hard to argue with a knockout. Williams does have some talent and just to be a rebel, I'll say he hangs in there until the 8th, but there's no way he can actually win the fight. As for the next Tyson? He's ben in jail for quite a while. ESPN does an article or a feature on him every now and then, but his name escapes me at the moment. Anyway, he's getting a little older now, but he has loads of talent, and a lot of people think he'd be heavyweight champion if he was a free man. By the way, I like the metaphor of a penis and an asshole for good and evil. It might have been done in a gay porn or something, but I don't know if it's ever been used in a regular conversation like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brighty 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 at the start of this year Williams was getting beaten convincingly by Michael Sprott. just cos he blew by a past-his-best Tyson doesn't change the fact that Williams is a poor boxer. he's got no chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Yeah, but Rocky was a legit threat by that point. He only lost to Lang because he wasn't taking him seriously and then creamed him in the rematch. The one where he is really a million-to-one shot is in the first one, and he loses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest sek69 Report post Posted December 12, 2004 Is it me or does Vitaly remind you of an 80s NWA Russian heel? I always expect to see Ivan Koloff come to the ring with him. By the way, heavyweight boxing sucks because Don King has all the champs and anyone of any talent signed to a contract and he won't let any of his fighters take a beating. What boxing needs to do is unify the titles again so we don't have guys fighting for world titles between shifts at McDonald's. Lennox Lewis can eat a dick as well. Vitaly beat his ass in their match and he knew it, that's why he pussed out and retired instead of taking the big money rematch. I hope he thanks whatever supreme being he worships that Big V was bleeding like Dusty Rhodes because he was well on his way to getting knocked the fuck out.

Yeah I think Vitali waited too long before he realized that he could hurt Lewis and that Lewis was not hurting him, and by the time Vitali decided to start taking some real shots, his eye was fucked beyond repair. I also never got the part in that fight when Lewis was obviously holding Vitali and punching his side, ya know the part where the guy in the crowd in the camera shot was shadowing what Lewis was doing......why did the ref not run in there and tell Lewis to stop holding?

What boxing needs to do is unify the titles again so we don't have guys fighting for world titles between shifts at McDonald's. The solution is simple. In my view, the alphabet titles do not exist. Simple as that. The belts they award are no better than a piece of scrap metal I could hand out to any of you. It's time to discard the organizations entirely. As long as we desire them to unify the titles, it will not happen, and they will continue to infest boxing with their power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Williams was totally out of his league here, and got exposed as a mediocre fighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
