Poor Byrd

[SalTheButcher]

He'll be back.

And I'd favor him against Sergei, Valuev and Rahman.

i think hed get embarressed against valuev

[BrooklyniteQueen]

Is Valuev the guy that makes mollassas look like PBF?

[1st rd ko]

He'll be back.

And I'd favor him against Sergei, Valuev and Rahman.

i think hed get embarressed against valuev

unless he got Ko'd , ole Nicks face would look worse than Byrds.

[Arvid_85]

I laughed when Byrd lost. It was such a relief...

byrd is like 5'10 tho, he wouldnt be able to get any offense off

[Violent Demise]

I like said last night. Chris Byrd was going to get knocked out. And it was going to be brutal.

[SalTheButcher]

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"?

[Gandalf]

byrd is a girl as i told you

I really don't understand why people disrespect Byrd so much, he was a 168 pound amateur who went straight to the Heavyweight division, had to rely totally on skills and heart cause he has no punch, and oh yeah, look at who he's fought:

among others

Vitali
Wlad twice
Ike Ibeabuchi
Tua
Holyfield
Golota
McCline


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 S***

well said, ouma

the disrespect byrd gets is just uncalled for.....wlad is too much for byrd, but he can beat most other heavyweights out there....

[MikeTysonKnockOut]

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!

[briggs]

they should rename chris bryd to chris turkey after his useless effort.

[AC-Cobra]

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

[Larryboy]

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.

[The_One77]

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

[Purist]

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.
