I have only seen Shaun George fight two other times, once when he fought Richard Hall last year and once when he was blown out by Matt Godfrey. He is a decent fighter with heart but in no way world class. Chris Byrd of old would have had an easy night with a fighter like that and hardly touched.

It was painful to see Chris abused in the ring by a fighter half his caliber. The worst part was watching the expressions on his face and the confusion in his corner. He knew he was done from halfway through round 1. I really felt bad after the fight when he was apologizing to his family for losing. I think Chris was more embarrassed then anything.

I am glad he is OK. He was a great warrior in the ring and has nothing left to do but look back on a career to be proud of.
