fukin idiot, wat were these 'foul tactics'. y doesn't he just accept his losses.
i hope wlad KO's him in 1
i dun like byrd cuz he has an excuse for everything. he felt that there was no KD against ibeabuchi
idiot

How does that make Byrd an idiot?He is the champion and he has the right to dictate where the match should take place. Although his excuses are childish, if he truly belives them then I guess you can't really fault the guy.

And we all know nothing bad has ever happened in Germany... :rolleyes:

true about the venue... but the fould tactic ****... thts all it is ****
i have respect for most boxers... but byrd thinks tht he shudn't have lost any fight.

I don't think too highly of guys who make excuses either but I didn't knock Byrd for his excuses because of Germany's poor reputation to foriegn fighters.

His excuse for the Ike fight was inexcusable and unprofessional.

120-108...

Bryd thought that Wlad had something on his gloves. Their is definitly something wrong with his eyes during their fight, whether it was a chemical or just getting punched in the face a lot, who knows? And if Wlad kicked his ass so hard last time without cheating than why would he be worried about where the fight is?

Why was Byrd's excuse for the Ike stoppage unprofessional? I've seen the fight and it was obvious to me that he was dazed after the monster hit he took. I've watched fights where a boxer is knocked out and flat out refuses to believe he was even hit with a punch. A hard punch can really screw up your judgement and reasoning abilities. Considering the circumstances, I think Byrd's protests were understandable.

Speaking of knockdowns...Why did the ref give Tyson the count, just because he crouched after that vicious upper-cut?

I heard that bull**** too. I heard that Byrd is getting 2.5 millions and for that money fighter like Byrd should fight anywhere and anytime, even naked on a streets of Iraq. You see Chris is a very booooorrrrrring fighter and also had couple of his wins inrightfully earned and you know average boxing fan does not like it. So if you get the chance to fight for like the biggest pay day in your career against a fighter you are convinced you can beat you gotta go at it. Kostya Tszyu for example is 10 times greater champion and he is gonna fight Hatton
in England. in Hatton's own Backyard. So this all *****ing is all probably a matter of finding and excuse and fighting Barret.

I consider him more of a crack whore. :D

Byrd is a fukin idiot and a liar!

No matter how much I dislike Byrd I hope he wins because if Wlad wins then the heavyweight belts will never be unified. Remember the Klitchkos promised mommy theyd never fight.

Wlad should fight Byrd anywhere and at almost at any price Byrd wants. Wlad has been exposed and him potentially getting another fight against Byrd could take his boxing career off of life support. So my advice to Wlad is put up with all the crap and do everything in his power to get that fight to happen.

The reason that both Wladimir and King want the fight in Germany because that were the money is for this fight. If they fight here in USA both men won't get half of what they would get in Germany. In Fact if King pays Byrd his 2 million for fight Wlad or Monte Barrett here in the USA King Loses money on the fight. Byrd might be a champ but he really can't get butts in the seats. If wants to get payed he has to fight in Germany.
Vincent

with all these semi-weak hitters hurting,dropping and almost ko'ing byrd within his lat few fights i doubt he will win..Wlad within 5rounds (tko probably cuz byrd does have some heart)
--i agree Chris "predator hair" Byrd is kinda of a ***** at times..i think he should just be a man about his losses,that how u get respect

He's the champ, if you win the title you get the money. Wlad isn't exactly that much of a draw righ now either.

i think wlad gona pull of the upset. i think he knows now this is his last big one

Upset Riz? Wlad kicked the crap out of Byrd last time and I'm sure he'll be a favorite now. Brewster and Sanders (especially Sanders) were both heavy punchers but Wlad has nothing to fear from Byrd.

Once again why does Byrd get a free ride for his excuses, but Wlad doesn't. At least Wlad has backed away from his drugging claim, but Byrd continues to act like a child crying foul play. Don King knows business and this fight would sell a lot more in Germany than it could in the U.S.

yeah but u gotta admit that Brewster fight was strange. If Vlad wins then you will see more competetive fights because the Klitchko's arent *****es when it comes to setting up fights like Don king is.

I think Byrd is majorly overrated. I freakin watched the Wladamir/Byrd fight. It was no contest. Byrd just looks weak.

Ibeabuchi gave Byrd a BEAUTIFUL UPPERCUT

that was a beautiful knockdown

what a idiot

Ibeabuchi gave Byrd a BEAUTIFUL UPPERCUT

that was a beautiful knockdown

what a idiot

And then he tries to argue with the ref saying that it wasn't a KD. What an idiot indeed.

120-108...
cant say it much better den dat right there

120-108...

What is that? The score of the rematch? The real score of the first fight 120-106.

Nothing new its just Chris Byrd still whining.

GL: Obviously you have a great deal of confidence in yourself, but after all of the allegations of funny business you feel took place in Germany, do you honestly feel you could not only get a fair shake, but take a decision in Germany?

CB: "I don't care how stacked the chips may look to be stacked against me, my God doesn't fail me. I would go over there with supreme confidence that I'm going to win. I don't care if his Aunt's and Uncle's are the judges and his cousin be the referee, I don't care about that, I'd be there to fight and win the fight. If they would try something funny again, at least this time everybody in the world would be able to see it on HBO. I'm not even going to talk about what happened in the past anymore. If I have to go there again, trust me, I'm going to correct it."

"My whole thing with whoever it is, is let's go to war. I'm not going in there to be a cutie and try to box, I'm in there to war and I'm going to be testing people's heart from jump street. Put it out there, I don't care if you're 250 pounds of muscle coming straight ahead, I'm going to test your heart."

He's the champ, if you win the title you get the money. Wlad isn't exactly that much of a draw righ now either.
Thats true for the US. But in Germany he is the second Elvis. No matter what happens he is gonna get the arena fild up. That is by the way why King and Wladimir want this fight in Germany.

you really create some weak threads, not just regularly weak,but like roy jones' chin weak


byrd is smart for not fighting wlad in germany you fool

byrd's wife is a nice looking white woman and I give him props for it, and I'm white

you are mad because he isnt a ko puncher, if he could punch you wouldnt even have made this thread.

your a cunt,learn to love boxing for the art of boxing, not punching power. Do this, and you would appreciate Byrd.

Actually no, he has slowed down significantly since his best days
and is just a sitting duck for a Heavy Weight with a good punching power to KO him. Also watch Wlad fight, I bet the poor lad got his brains rearranged in that fight.

It is true though, he got some beautiful skills and is a very good boxer. I cant take it away from him. But I just dont like him, Guy just cant keep his mouth shut.

.....You make a great point, but Wlad also helps Byrd. Nobody but Byrdlover and Byrds wife give a **** about him. He could use a Wlad victory to push his unification fight with Vitaly and he would definitely get it if he beat Wlad. Byrd has nothing to lose but a fraudulent title and everything to gain by beating Wlad and then getting a fight with Vit. IMO they both need this fight.

And then he tries to argue with the ref saying that it wasn't a KD. What an idiot indeed.


.....The drool pouring out of his mouth and his eyes rolling around when he protested was the funniest part. I could watch that **** a hundred times and it gets funnier every time I see it.

He can't beat Vlad a second time any better than he beat him the first time. And lay off Byrd's wife, pal ;) She sticks by her guy no matter what, which is something that can't be said for that many women these days. Don't be so quick to condemn her for being his biggest fan. If you're married, or have a girlfriend, you probably already know that most women are completely and utterly useless, and worthless as a bag of dried moose-**** with cherry frosting. He seems to have a fairly good one, who doesn't run her mouth and embarass him in public. Be happy for the guy, don't insult his wife :)

Gee, you just described about 80% of the pro boxers in every division..."Guy just can't keep his mouth shut".

I like Byrd ok as a guy, but I'm not thrilled about his fighting. He's slick, always was, but it gets boring after awhile. I'd like to see him have another fight, maybe 2, and then quit boxing and move to HBO sports and become a full time commentator. He's intelligent, well spoken, very knowledgable of the sport (of course), and respectful when speaking of other boxers...mostly. And what's truly important, he speaks ENGLISH, not ebonics, or whatever that **** Roy Jones spews when he's there. I enjoyed it when Byrd was there for an evening, and would like to see him back again permanently, since Big George isn't going to come back (I miss that big, dumb bastard ;) )

....I think his wife may be one of the reasons I can't stand the guy. Did you see the Wlad fight? She is running her mouth and screaming non stop up until the 9th when Byrd really starts getting killed and then you don't hear another word. You can't even hear the announcing that well because of her big mouth. Some dumb ***** screaming instructions and talking nonsense ringside during a heavyweight fight? STFU **** that loud mouthed *****!!!

And then he tries to argue with the ref saying that it wasn't a KD. What an idiot indeed.

Why do people keep calling him an idiot.He got caught with a monster shot, and was ****ed up. He in the words of Jim Lampley was knocked silly, he had no idea what he was saying.

yeah,when his wife started doing that I remember thinking

"what trailer park did byrd dig this ***** up at?" haha

.....Yeah but add that to his stupid half grin he gives every time he is hurt and acts like he isn't and it gets old. You could see him mouth "he won" right before the Oquendo scores were announced and then he changed his tune when he got the decision and was interviewed afterwords. The guys is a hypocrit and a poor excuse for a heavyweight. He has no bad intentions on his punches and he belongs in a lower weight class. When true heavyweight fans watch a fight they wanna know that their guy wants to knock the other guy out. Byrd is looking for the slappy decision by pitter patting and running. Is that your kind of heavy? What the hell is there to like about that in a heavyweight boxer? You want that **** then go and watch the welters.

How can you hate somone so much? And I have question are you a boxing fan or just a fight fan?

I can see not liking Byrd as a person(don't know why) but how can you disrespect the mans guts and intestinal fortitude for standing up to those bigger fighters and holding his own. Plus the man is an extremely talented fighter who is exciting in his own way.

...skilled? definitely Exciting? lol lol lol He fights like a small man in a big mans world. His style has no appeal to me whatsoever. Slapping and getting out is not what being a heavyweight is all about. I would like to think of the heavyweight champ as being the baddest man on the planet that wants to knock out the guy across the ring from him. Byrd comes nowhere near this image and is a disgrace to the heavies on the same level as Ruiz. As a person he may very well be a nice guy. I dislike him as a heavyweight.

I can see where you are coming from, but he is clearly taking the cowards way out by pushing for Barrett instead of Wlad.

mmm and that is new because??

I think the reason you were hearing her over everything else is because the audio from the fight is mixed with a mic that either she's wearing, or is very close to her. Or maybe she is just a loudmouth, I dunno ;) In the version I saw, all I could here was the German announcer, and her voice, until she grew too concerned for Chris to make noise, and got quiet. Almost no crowd noise at all. And if that's how the crowds really are in Germany (corpus quiet) I don't blame Byrd for not wanting to go back there. It would suck, to fight in front of a crowd that didn't have a pulse.

Anyway, lots of people scream during a boxing match, I can't hold that against her, or that she was yelling encouragement to her husband. Someone needed to, he was getting his ass kicked :)

Spell **** right. Moron. Really, is it so much to ask that you hit the keyboard one more time?

I don't like you because your dismissing statements made by one of the true class acts in the game. Yeh, sometimes he's a jerk, and sometimes he sounds self-righteous or ****y, but he doesn't lie. Hell, he is not half as full of himself as a lotta guys out there. Bottom line, if Byrd says something was wrong in that fight, I don't doubt there was.

I can see where you are coming from, but he is clearly taking the cowards way out by pushing for Barrett instead of Wlad.
You've gotta be kidding me. The coward's way out by not wanting to fight a guy who hasn't looked good in TWO YEARS? I dunno if you caught this little bit of info, but Wlad actually lost twice by knockout in his past five outing. He has one highly inconclusive win over a guy who's essentially a journeyman. Yeh, Byrd's a coward because he wants to fight a guy who's fighting better than ever and has always been reasonably hard to beat. Unless you're a friggin behemoth, that is. Look, regardless of whether you like Wladimir or not, you should be able to admit that he does not, at this stage of his career, deserve a title shot as much as Monte Barrett. That's all I'm asking for.

If Wlad was the title holder and he could either face Sanders or Brock, and he went for Brock, everyone and his mother would be calling Wlad a coward, and rightfully so. If Wlad has looked so bad why shouldn't Byrd want to avenge his worst loss in what should be an "easy" fight in your opinion? Barrett has nothing that can beat Byrd, and Byrd knows this, so that's why he is pushing for this fight.

Barrett and Byrd would probably be a less boring fight than Vlad and Byrd, but I don't feel that Barret deserves the shot at the title much more than Vlad. He's performed well a few times in a row, but I think it should take more than that to get a title shot. I think King wants Byrd to have a rematch with Vlad for

A: The money

And

B: The Money.

I honestly don't think King believes Byrd will win, or even cares, he just wants the money it'll make him. He knows that Byrd stands a good chance at losing his title against whoever he fights next, and he wants a big payday before it's gone and byrd is back to fighting for 1/2 mil purses again.

That's a silly comparison to make. If Wlad had a title right now, he would have won it against Davarryl Williamson, and still would not have redeemed himself following either the Brewster loss or the Sanders loss. Point being, Byrd has proven his worth even after the bad loss to Wlad, and Barrett seems to be at a better point in his career than Wlad. So, if Klitschko were doing really well right now, and Byrd chose not to fight him, he would be taking the coward's way out. But he's not. He's doing really, really poorly. Don't try putting lipstick on this pig. It's a bad fight. Especially compared to the other options.

And the quotation marks around easy are unnecessary, since I never said it'd be an easy fight. As a matter of fact, I think Klitschko will always pose certain stylistic problems for Byrd. Does that mean he'd be Byrd again? No. It means Byrd would lose two or three rounds.

I sorta agree with you here. For Don King it's definitely about the money. But I do believe that Barrett has much more right to a title shot right now than Klitschko does. Still, I agree with your basic statement, that fighters oughta do more than just win a few in a row to get a title shot. But should earning a title shot be synonymous with a big name looking for a way back to the top?

Actually Wlad beat him the first fight. He made that fight look easy. It was an UD with a score like 106-120 in Wlads favor.
It was Vitaly who lost to him.

This just in Barrett has not been doing that much better. You and other people simply expect Wlad to dominate everyone every time he fights. Every single one of Barrett's recent fights have been close unlike Wlad's even though he lost one of them.

Hey, relax man!!! WHDempsey is a hater. No matter what wlad does
he will still be hated. Nothing against the poor fella as I could understamd why he hates both Wlad and Vitaly. You see the reason why most of the haters "hate" is because they feal threatened. They fear that the boxer that they hate can and most likely will beat the boxer that they like and they intuitionally
start the PR compain to convince themselves and others that the boxer that they hate "suck" and therefore make themselves feal better about their idol.
As it goes to that Wlad does not deserve the Title shot is completely unfair because so does not deserve the title shot Golota or Toney. Golota does not deserve it because he did not win a fight since his comeback and Toney does not deserve the title shot because both of his wins are fluke. But hey they are still getting them.

Also Barett fight will be anythin but entertaining. Byrd will be on a bike scoring the potshots and will get another questionable split decision.

Yeah good point. I posted a comment a while ago that really the only two to recently deserve a title shot were Sanders and maybe McCline. Oquendo, Golota, Toney, Williams, and Rahman are no more deserving than Wlad.

Besides John Ruiz, Byrd is the most boring champion there has ever been. Nobody likes to see him fight and if they do it's just because they want to see him get KTFO. He brings down boxing and its TV ratings. I used to ask people why they don't like boxing and they told me that the fighters today aren't worth watching on a Friday or Saturday night. Fighters like Byrd are a prime example of this.
