Wladimir Klitschko vs Chris Byrd II. Who's gonna win this one & how?

[Gandalf]

I voted Wlad by knockout.

I honestly think that Wlad still has enough to beat Byrd & I also feel that Byrd has drastically slowed in his defensive abilities...that's what got him through the first mess when he tangled with Wlad all those years ago.

After seeing the photo shots of Byrd training for this fight & looking at his physical condition lately...I might be eating my own hat.

Personally...the cat looks determined & in shape.

We may all get a pleasant surprise with this one. Byrd could actually be coming to Germany for an upset...thoughts?

i think your crazy

i cant see byrd having any chance

to be honest i think wacko is just realising that this really isnt some stroll in the park for wlad....chris byrd is a superior boxer and fighter to sam peter....

its gonna be a tough one for wlad...

Miles I agree that Bryd is a superior boxer to Peter, but Bryd can't crack an egg with his power, Peter can get you outta there with one punch, Bryd gonna have to wear Klitschko down and I think Bryd will have a hard time keeping Wlad off him, Bryd has Lost a step too.

but the difference here is that byrd is a lot harder to hit than peter. its relatively straighforward to keep a limited fighter like peter at bay with the jab but byrd is elusive and if he can make wlad throw and miss then he can wear wlad down. byrd isnt going to be a punching bag like brewster in order to do that though. byrd might not throw rockets but lets not underestimate his power. he can punch and he can hurt. its a big confidence issue with wlad these days and if byrd can knock some of that confidence away early, then it becomes very interesting....byrd is a very underestimated fighter, and wlad is a different fighter to the fighter that beat byrd last time out...

i maintain that byrd can pull it off...
