Friday Night Fights Buffet (Let's Talk Here) + Chris Byrd Talk!!

[Tam Seddon]

gutted for him, thats it for sure.

Ye ssometimes vast weight loss can make a fighter CHINNY , we all know Chris has taken much harder punches as HW but now i think Father Time has caught up with him. I have wondered how GREAT a LHW champion he may have been , had he chosen to fight there from the very start of his Career.

Thats a real shame for Byrd. He should hang them up, he has had a remarkable career at heavyweight considering his size. No point in continuing after this.

[TitoFan]

I never liked Chris Byrd as a heavyweight. Now, as a light-heavy, I just feel sorry for him. He looked like he had lost even more than the 40 pounds he lost to move down. His skinny legs looked like they belonged on a middleweight.

He needs to retire already, before he gets permanently injured.

[bcollins]

He's got nothing else to prove, unless it's something he needs to prove to himself.

I still can't believe he got up after the shot Ike landed on him - I would've been in the hospital for a week after that one.

[RozzySean]

It was painful to watch him last night. I was dead wrong and thought he would be able to do something at LHW. He looked totally shot and clueless about how to fight a guy who is naturally smaller. At this point, he's too slow to sit back and try to counter punch decent LHW, and that's basically his whole game. The tried to fight like he did against slow 240lb guys and looked foolish.

Time to hang em up, Chris.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

thats a real shame, he was a decent heavy champ, a good person, always did his best......... for it to end like that after all the work that would have gone into making 175 is somewhat sad, real shame his carrer may be over on such a note
