wonder who it is, maybe wlad? :D

.....That is interesting. It's probably gonna be a non threat type of guy I would suspect.

i'm guessing it'll be one of king's guys... TOS, donald or fres again....

If he's fighting that night, maybe it's a Showtime fight? I thought that date was reserved for Rahman vs. Barrett.

Or maybe he's on the undercard of Rahman vs. Barrett. That would be embarassing - defending his belt under two guys fighting for Vitali's interim belt...

Unlikely, I tried to do an interview with Byrd for ESB, and he said awhile ago he couldn't do one, because of some rules he had with promoters and he wasn't allowed to give out any information concerning who he would be fighting. The way he put it, I'm guessing, that he would not be fighting Wlad.

I went to the page that has the whole card, and Byrd is listed as an undercard attraction.

This must be a King PPV instead of just an HBO show or else Byrdie's fight wouldn't be televised with Mayorga fighting Castillejo.

It also lists Luis Collazo vs. TBA for the WBA Welterweight Title, so maybe it's a 4-fight PPV like the 5-fight show that King had with Hopkins/Joppy, Judah/Rangel, Simms/Garcia, Ruiz/Rahman, and Spinks/Mayorga...

from the ibf rankings and who can fight i only see 3 people.

touch of **** willamson

yeah I forgot...Byrd has only fought easy fights his career

Byrd has a knack for winning fights in strange ways. He definitely got a gift draw against Golota IMO despite the biased Kingvisoin commentary led by Barry ******* Tomkins and the duschebag he hangs out with. Jake Morrotta

King's Fight Schedule (http://www.boxrec.com/date_search.php?yyyy=2005&mm=07&dd=23) (boxrec)

Berd will probably fight Toney. Go to bostonGlobe sports section,
there is an article about that.

Hmmm, this will be great.. but not sure if this is enough time to promote such a mega fight

July 23rd......Byrd's fighting ?
That gives me plenty of time to plan something else to do that night.

Alright, I just called my man at **********.net
They don't know anything yet. Nothing has been announced.
Besides Dan Goosen, King has a piece of Toney too.. so Toney Vs. Byrd is a possibility.
He said they will know for sure what's happening before this weekend.

I would love to see Toney back in the ring, especially if its on HBO. I'll tell you, if Toney starts fighting regulary I may just forgive his trash talking. Inactivity is one the worst qualities of today's heavyweights.

Maybe Bryd will fight Toney on that date...

one of the guys byrd beat also lost a lot of times to other fighters with big names

Maybe Byrd is waiting for his challenger to win a fight vs someone else

If i remember correctly on that card a Cleveland boy is supposed to make his pro debut, correct me if im wrong, I know hes fighting at HWT but if its on that card his only option is Bryd.... and well i dont think that will be his first opponent....
