Wlad KOes Byrd!

I kinda was feelin fo Byrd cuz that was a beating. To Byr'ds credit, he has heart and a good chin. Yea he got Koed, but he got up on both KD's EARLY despite how hard those punches were. Other contenders woulda gotten KOed in that 5th round punch easy. Byrd showed heart. Yeah I actually felt bad for byrd after the 2nd round was done because I saw that he wasn't going to be able to make a fight of it.

where from Karpaty are you? From Lviv - The Lions city :)

We have Americans, Ukrainians, Armenians, and Russians on Team Russia. A lot of Russians support Klitscko, which I hope is OK. :) What is "Team Russia" :confused: But of course, it's ok ;) . Anyone who supports Klichko is good :)

where from Karpaty are you? It's an alt I'm sure.

Russia was a republic in the Soviet Union. If you're going to say "Team Russia", might as well say "Team Armenia", or "Team Tajikistan", or "Team Estonia"...etc..as those were all republics..but none of those are even relevant because the USSR is long gone :)..Klichkos are Ukrainian, not Russian. Anyways, we're getting off topic. :( where from Karpaty are you?

...Manny and Parody, congrats for telling it like it is. I was just about to say the same thing.

Anyways, congrats to Volodomyr (Wladimir) Klichko :) :boxing: Otkuda iz Karpat Vy? Uzhgorod, Mukachevo?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Klichko brothers are anything but "Team Russia". :) you mean they didn't grow up in the Soviet Union? :confused:

Yeah that was a great fight, I enjoyed it. Even thought Wlad was a bit cautious at the beggining he let go in the later rounds. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Klichko brothers are anything but "Team Russia". :)

Is it just me or do the POM POM girls (lampley and merchant) iritate the shit out of you. The bogus cheerleading has got to stop.Lets tell the truth Byrd is small heavy wait with declining reflexes and ball of steal. Wlad looked like a better then average big man beating on byrd but nothing that shows he is that great. He will however dominate the divison for years to come. His only true test would be maybe be Calvin Brock because he is big and can test him. Wlad chin was never the problem it was his stamina. Brewster never realy hut him. Wlad punched himself out. A remach would be useless and would result in a wlad walk through. Liahovich is marginal a best. he beat a heavy bag with balls of steal and a detached retina.The giant is a joke and a dream fight for any top 20 heavywieght to pick up a strap.Rahman? Puzzling? we need to see an in shape rahman against a fighter less skilled then Fat Toney.And Toney, well he is fat enough said. Does anyone else see the haevy wieght picture like I do?

Because you're too infatuated with promoting your own view point to look at others' and be critical of their opinions just because they're on your "side"... so to speak. still don't know what you're talking about....you said excuses rule and i said so does a right hand that puts byrd on his ass. you responded with something like being hypocritical or some stupid shit and me being infatuated about something? again...wtf are you talking about?

um, and? i have no idea what you are talking about Because you're too infatuated with promoting your own view point to look at others' and be critical of their opinions just because they're on your "side"... so to speak.

brock wont be giving anybody any trouble. brock is way too easy to hit and mcline put him down. I think wlad would take him out within 4

I kinda was feelin fo Byrd cuz that was a beating. To Byr'ds credit, he has heart and a good chin. Yea he got Koed, but he got up on both KD's EARLY despite how hard those punches were. Other contenders woulda gotten KOed in that 5th round punch easy. Byrd showed heart. I agree. I have a lot of respect for byrd after that fight. he could have easily just stayed down but he kept coming. I would have felt even worse for byrd if it wasnt for his annoying wife,,lol. christ,,,shouting instructions to him like shes a trainor

I didn't give a shit one way or another. But I'm critical of other people's opinions when the border on hypocritical. um, and? i have no idea what you are talking about

Did you really believe the Byrd wouldve gotten whooped that badly??? I was suprised, and people like Mayweather, Roy Jones, Rahman, Briggs, picked Byrd to win. On another note, does anyone think that the fight should've went on after the second KD? Was the stoppage a bit premature?? ...Exactly on the predictions end of it. That was not a premature stopage at all. Byrd was getting killed. IMO they should have stopped it much earlier. That one could leave Byrd like Ali within a couple of years. He took mad abuse. He has a big heart but at what price.

I think we all agree that this win is a progression in the HW division. Now we actually wonder in excitement what's gonna happen next. LOL!
