Could you imagine having your wife bark orders at you while your being absolutely pummeled?! That was painful. On a good note, thats the best shape I've ever seen him in, he's just too small for the age of super-size heavies.

He'll be back.
And I'd favor him against Sergei, Valuev and Rahman.
i was hoping someone would shoot her. my ear drums were bleeding as bad as byrds face.Quote:

Most fighters would have taken an easier fight. Buut no way should his wife/manager be allowed to come to any more fights.Quote:

He goes down in the 7th (damn, why did I change my prediction :P) gets up with his face cut open and was wiling to continue.
Even with the loss, Byrd is still a champion.
Seems like Tracey wanted to get in the ring and fight Wladimer for him... wouldn't be suprised...why is his sister and his wife both named Tracy ???Quote:

Most of those guys are absolute giants compared to him, he went into those fights knowing he couldn't hurt the other guy and that they could hurt him if he made a mistake, yeah what a chicken shit
holy shit man, that was pic was gruesome
I gotta watch this fight
100% agreed i think he is done for good,he was good boxer but its time for him to hang his gloves,his couple fights wasn't too good for him and Wlad just put him outQuote:

is it possible that anything can be more irritating then returning to your corner after geting laced by big vladdy for a few rounds and hearing your clueless wife scream "i told you to fight smart"?
well said, ouma :coolclick:Quote:

Byrd has won my respect!
He's a little guys fighting those big dangurous guys and still he did very well.
He got heart will, skills....but no power.
Gotta respect him!
they should rename chris bryd to chris turkey after his useless effort.
Just a thought. Why did Byrd jump straight to Heavyweight. Why didnt he spend his years at the lower weights?? He would of been a threat to Joe Calzaghe (more than anyone else at least), would of taken out the older Roy, given B-Hop a run for his money, and would of beat Tarver at least.
So I have him beating Tarver and OLDER Roy and giving the rest a good shot. Why not stay where he'd be more comfortable?
Too late now I guess
I watched the fight on ppv. I'd put a little bet on Byrd to win, on the outside chance he'd be able to tire Klitchko and win the rounds as the fight progressed, but he got annihilated. You've got to give the guy some credit though, he tried his best, and showed some real guts getting up and making it out of the 5th round, but Klitchko was just too big and too good for him.
just saw the fight the day after, Byrd just couldn't get past Wlad's jab and he certainly wasn't expecting the right hand either
Somehow I get the feeling.
That if Byrd went in there and boxed and moved all night and the crowd booed him and he won a close decision that he wouldn't get any respect. And when he stands in front of Wlad to press the action which is unlike him, he gets no respect.
I won't give Wladimer any respect for beating him then ;)
Byrd is far from a chicken, he showed a ton of heart by getting back to his feet after those huge punches.I have always respected Byrd and he showed a lot of class after the fight.More heavyweights need to act like that.Quote:

Are you just angry that nobody is crowning him the greatest boxer ever? Watch a sports show, read some articles, Wlad gets a lot of respect. You're only talking to a handful of people.Quote:
