People have really bought into this theory that Wladimir has a china chin and actually think Byrd(the same Byrd who hasn't knocked anyone down let alone out)has the ability to KO him!! :boxing2: :lolololol:

Yep, I don't get it. I watched the 1st Byrd-Wladdy fight just yesterday and it was very 1-sided. The best you could say for Byrd in that fight is that he usually defended well and occasionally came forward and tried to get inside. However, he just didn't have an answer for Wladdy's jab, left hook and occasional straight right hand. Has Wladdy deteriorated since that fight? I really don't think so although his reaction to getting scared or hurt now is to hold whereas he didn't used to be that way before the Brewster fight. I doubt whether that will matter much against Byrd. Wladdy may hold occasionally to take a rest, but he won't hold much otherwise unless a miracle (or disaster depending on who you're rooting for) happens and Byrd hits Wladdy right on the chin with the biggest straight left that he's ever thrown.
byrd is now slower, and big vladdy is now a better boxer
AND HE OUTBOXED A FASTER BYRD WHEN HE HAD LESS BOXING SKILL TO DO IT WITH
BIG VLADDY IS GONNA DOMINATE :D :D :D
I dont find the notion of Byrd by KO is insane. With the stamina issues Klitschko has, it's not impossible. Even w/ the light hitting Byrd, if you work the body enough, you never know.
Byrd could get a tko, if wladdy slows down in the championship rounds then byrd could get him on the ropes and hit him without any answer. Thats just one scenario.
Klitsfan is absolutely right. No way in hell Byrd should be able to KO Wladimir. Klitchsko is much stronger and a better boxer now. I'd like to see him knock the heck out of Byrd!
I felt how the Americans hyped Lacy, S. Peter and Toney, so I guess that they also believe in Byrd too.
Tonight Europe will take one more of its belts back :)
well if he dosen't i dont know who has lolQuote:

Oh,wait second...
BYRDS NO LAMON BREWSTER LOL
I think this will be an easy decision win for Wladimir. Byrd is too small and too light a puncher to do any damage.
117-111 to Wlad
Yea Byrd and Corrie Sanders have about the same power. ::**Quote:

It is not impossible for Byrd to stop Wlad though with a lot of clever movement, he needs to make Wlad chase him while stopping to hit him with a lot of shots to body and head if he can get inside.
I just cant see Byrd being able to keep out of Wlads way for 12 rounds and being able to take his power.
Unless we see something dramatic happens such as Wlad becoming so exhausted that he can barely stand then i see him stopping Byrd in 7

I agreed wlad will win easy decision,for one byrd cant punch for two fight is in Germany ;D
I never implied that. As many times as Wlad has been put down, its not a crazy thought to think that Roy Jones could put him down. Byrd doesn't get gased like alot of fighters. If he can take him in deep, i think he can rock him. A KO doesn't have to happen with one punch.Quote:

IMO, Byrd has the EXACT same chance of KOing Wlad, as Lamon Brewster did. That fight had absolutely squat to do with Lamons power, ok... If Wlad gasses out, loses it, panics, implodes, or whatever you want to call it, Byrd could definetly win by stoppage... Watch the Brewster fight again, anyone who believes that it was his power that put Wlad away, please watch closely.. Wlad is completely fucked before Lamon even lands a hard punch, and even after that most of his punches were grazing blows, just they were sending Wlad all over the place. If Wlad is able to go 12 rounds and he doesn't break down, then yes.. Youd have to be crazy to think Byrd would win by ko, but a stoppage is not at all impossible, if PUrrity and Brewster could do it, Byrd definetly can. It's just a matter of hitting Wlad should he gas out like that, I actually beleive power has very little to do with it. Anyone remember watching FNF last night, when Teddy said that Wlad didn't have a glass chin he had a glass brain, lol... That is more the problem, how he reacts when he starts to get hit or tired..
