Again...he beat a guy that was marketed as the savior of the heavyweight division, he then beat a champion that no one else was able to beat, & everyone had Wlad written out of the picture.

If you want to bash him into the ground...then have fun...but Wlad's got as many ups as he does down...you just neglect to bring that to the page.
I sort of agree both ways Wacko. You yourself didn't give Byrd a shot in hell at winning so it was more or less what you expected, and just because you were a round off shouldn't shock you

Wlad should get credit for beating Byrd, but then again about 99 people predicted it. I think it's saying don't overcredit Wlad. Thats what I think the main thing is.
agreed, it was a good win but really most people expected it. Wlad gave him a boxing lesson the last time they fought so this time he had to go one step better and stop him, which he did well. But to me it's really not that big a win in the heavyweight scene, but at least its a start
