It was a good Friday night in The States and we start off at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas where Shaun George, 17-2-2 (8), crushed the light heavyweight dreams of former heavyweight world champion Chris Byrd, 40-5-1 (21), gunning down the one-time defensive master in the ninth of a scheduled ten rounder.

Instead of using his counterpunching strengths, 37 year old southpaw Byrd tried to force the action and appeared to no longer have the reflexes to avoid getting hit as he was nailed all night by the younger man.

George landed much of what he threw and dropped Byrd in the first but it wasn't until the ninth round that he could hurt the former Olympian. A left-right combination canvassed Byrd hard in that round and the former heavyweight was then felled by the followup barrage before the bout was finally waived off at 2:45 of the fifth.

Having now won his fourth straight bout, George will be looking to leverage this high profile success into a title shot in the near future while Byrd may just be at the end of the line after a long and proud career that saw him overcome a lot of disadvantages to achieve remarkable feats. More...
