Byrd is a great boxer.
But I can only imagine he would have been legendary if he had been a Light Heavyweight or a Cruiserweight.
Wish he would go to Cruiserweight he would beat Mormeck easily.
wow thats sad going from the most recent longest reigning HW champ usually fighting on hbo wcb on sat nights to a wed night fight on espn :-[Quote:

Is there going to be 2 fights? ..if so I would think they are gonna show Sherman Williams, who was supposed to be Byrds opponent tonight. Maybe they will meet next if they both win.
I KNOW I'm in the minority on this one, but I was ecstatic when Byrd got KO'd by Vladimir. To me, Byrd has been one of the most boring heavyweights in recent times. A nice guy and all that, but BORING. And that's saying a lot, given the state of the division. Byrd never belonged in the heavyweights. You can be a good boxer, and still try to be offensive-minded once in awhile. Byrd was not. He finessed his way to a heavyweight belt, only underscoring how messed up the division was and still is. The heavyweight division doesn't need the Chris Byrds right now. It needs more Vladimirs, who has been consistently improving since his two devastating losses to Sanders and Brewster.
I hope he looks better than recent. We saw what Vlad did, and I don't care what anyone says, Byrd lost that fight against Golota. If he dropped down in weight, he might revive his career. He has no business at heavy IMO.
Topic Merged. :)
I was checking out todays fights on Boxrec, and saw that Andy Lee is fighting today, as well as Emmanuel Augustus Vs. Marteze Logan, heh that should be interesting...even tho they are both about .500 with around 60 fights each....Im really hoping Lee does good, we(I) need some Irish fighters representing. Its been awhile...
Fogle, for his age, is actually a pretty good fighter. Good speed but things are going to get ugly down the line if he doesn't keep track of where that right hand drifts off to when he jabs.
Pretty good action so far, usually is when southpaw vs orthodox and theyre both not that experienced..should learn alot. I like Fogle so far.Your right tho amat he drops that right big time...hes just asking for left from Mackay.
so u guys gonna update this thread? with RbR coverage?
who is fighting?? Byrd now!?!!
Ill try and do a RBR for the Byrd fight but i got a buzz going so...it may not be too accurate. :laugh:
Well the recap for Fogle Vs. Mackay...Fogle got tko'd in the eighth body shots took him out. After the first round Mackay started uping his output and landed lots of uppercuts and right hooks. Fogle looked like he wore out after around round 4. Well he wont have to worry about challenging for a title like he said he was planning on..hes got his work cut out for him recruiting for the Army....
Nice crowd theyre into these fights, so far the Bahamian(sp?) fighters are 2-0. I guess no Sherman "the Tank" Williams fight..maybe if the Byrd fight ends early.
CC in 24hrs no contest
thanks ;D
They have a little house band that plays after the fights..pretty cool.
a byrd loss and retirement here makes for a good rest of the year
house band? what the F? so its like a talk show now?Quote:

Hope the local fighter wins again so that they could go 3-0 for the locals ;D
did we see chris byrd's fake sharon stone look alike wifey yet?
lol i just turned it on and i don't think they're gonna pay more attention to byrd than they have to.Quote:

Jason Litzau is on next wendsday...I kinda like the kid even tho he isnt the sharpest tool in the shed. How bad did he look in his k.o. loss? I missed that one..I think that was on Taylor Ouma undercard.
He was winning the fight wide and his corner told him not to stand and trade the last few rounds and just coast. So he did the opposite and stood in front and traded and got knocked out.Quote:

3-0 for the locals although i didn't agree with that decision
He did show some good heart against Nolasco, that was a great comeback. I really liked that fight. Im hoping he does well dont get me wrong. I think hes got a bright future.
Anyone seen that movi Bert Sugar was talkin about "Somebody Up there Likes Me" , based on Graziano.He's a goodfella ;)
HAHA Sharon Stone..thats pretty good...I wouldnt kick her outta bed. ;)
Byrd comes in to the ring looking serious, Marinaccio looks game, bobbing to the reggae...hes a southpaw like Byrd. Lets see what happens..Byrd is spoting the cornrows. Teddys in the Bahamass can you say sunburn? Teddys pretty much sayin Byrd is gonna jack him up..claimin Marinaccio doesnt use the jab..
