+40

This fight will tell us everything we need to know about how Byrd handles the new weight. IMO he will do well for a while, but father time is gonna come a knockin soon. He should have made this move years ago, I think he would have been up there at the top of the division in 2006 maybe not beating the best, but at least getting the good fights.

All in all I think that it is too late for Byrd, but he will end up as a gatekeeper at 175.
