Thread: Chris Byrd going to lightheavyweight ?

I just read on fightnews that he is fighting at lightheavyweight against Shaun George. I've never heard of the that fighter, but isnt lightheavyweight a bit too far away for the old man? He should have done this years ago if it's the case...

He had planned to go down to cruiser because of his lack of sucess with the super heavyweights, but then, without really trying his weight went all the way down to 175. He figured he might as well just fight at Lt heavy.

can he make 175

i would be surprised if he could

fightnews.com said so.

I agree he should have fought at LHW or CR I think a fight with either RJJ or Toney at either of them weights a few years ago would of been far more intresting than any of his fights at HW!!

He'll be an interesting addition to the division. Most of the guys are about the same age as him, he might be able to adopt a more aggressive style as well, looking forward to his debut.

Funny how things turn out that Byrd would be considered a puncher.
