Chris Byrd!!! Wow that was the best fight on the entire card. Byrd was in trouble early but he came back strong and almost put down the big man.

Byrd deserved that win and he showed tremendous heart, sitting their trading with the bigger guy.

I'm so proud of my boy!

Was a Great fight. Byrd looked really good today. Got to give him alot of credit for the tough win.

Despite much of the negative criticism that I have read regarding Chris Byrd, I have always enjoyed watching him fight. He takes on all comers and is darned near slick enough to be almost everyone. Not as slick as Sweet Pea, but as far as heavyweights go, maybe the slickest defensive fighter ever, edging out even Jimmy Young.

I really thought that Byrd was going to knock down McCline a couple of times, although Jameel has to be applauded for coming into fight in good shape. Byrd certainly took the fight though ... he has some set of skills.

i definately believe byrd won that fight. he wore McCline down the whole fight and waited until the later rounds to finish him off.

This was a good fight. I knew McCline's only chance was to get it over with quickly - McCline didn't do a damn thing after about Round 5 or 6. It looked like it could have been a KO early, though - it added to the suspense. Byrd's face was still pretty after this one - not mauled like it was vs. Golota.

Much better than Golota-Ruiz. There are no doubt that "Rapid Fire" is one of the best HW today.

I forgot to ask you guys.

Do you have more respect for Chris Byrd now than you did before or about the same?

About the same. The fight was how I expected, except I didn't expect Byrd to get caught early and downed. I thought Byrd would win 9 or 10 rounds, but McCline looked good early so I don't fault Chris so much. Unlike his last 2 decisions, I thought he won this one.

i have a lot more respect for byrd after tonights fight. he showed that he has the heart to comeback and he also proves that he does deserve the IBF belt. definately a good fight.

I always respected Byrd's talent, I just don't respect him as a human being with all his taunting and childish actions, but he does get props from me tonite.

Congrats To Byrd!!! I picked McCline to win a close decision and was almost right. He just ran out of gas!!! Great fight by Byrd!!!

i have always respected Byrds Skills, but he is still a *****, i bet 10000.00 that he would KO McCline, and he didn't. i knew Bryd would bet him, McCline is not on his level, Byrd fought a perfect fight, even better than Ali vs. Foreman.

by the way look at all my points. i had a good night

I have always had a great respect for Byrd and today's fight was a great fun. Chris has got a great heart.

CHris said he wanted to fight Vitaly and that the winner will be the ultimate champion.

I cannot stand Chris "WHOOO!" Byrd or his fighting style. He earned his victory tonight, however. I can't take that away from him. So he is 1-2 in his last three fights.

Man, I can't stand to watch him fight.

I dont like the way your boy clowns around like a kid sometimes, i have always respected him, and he did a hell of a job. Isnt it great when your favorite fighter kicks ass? Damn you Wladimir!!!

Yep he won. Most of the people expected it though, so there was no intrigue in that fight.
Even though he looked pretty good in the end it was more of a McCline's inability to close the show than Byrd's great talent. I respect him for actually winning this fight though. I think it was more of an unonimous decision than split. And BTW he could have looked better in the beginning. I guees father time catching up on him too ;)

thats cool that Chris actually called out V.K. instead of saying, "I dont know,I'll have to talk to my team first"
