Did Byrd choke again?

After a very poor performance against Williamson, Byrd surprises us all again by performing even worse. Is it old age, is he afraid of giant sized Ukrainians or is he getting sick of boxing? It ain't heart when you just stand in front of an opponent and let him hit you, it is just plain stupid. He didn't let McCline hit him, and he could have frustrated Klitschko as well. Those of you who want to blame the size difference, think again. This fight had nothing to do with size, and everything to do with abandoning commonsence. i couldnt beleive there's more thread criticizing the winner of a big fight than this :( or is it eveybody hates ukaranians :(

it wasn't that bad Byrd's performance wadn't that bad but he had too many things going against him: (1) Wladdy was a little better at fighting on the outside than he was in their 1st fight. His right hand looked quicker and stronger. (2) Wladdy clinched a bit on the inside, enough so that Byrd had little chance of doing anything in close. I counted the clinches that were clearly initiated by Wladdy: round 1 : 1 or 2, insignificant round 2 : 7 (too many, should have been warned) round 3 : 7 (too many; referee not doing his job well enough) round 4 : 3 or 4, not enough to make a difference round 5 : didn't see a clinch round 6 : didn't see a clinch round 7 : didn't see any You can see that Wladdy was dominating Byrd so much from round 5 onward that he didn't even need to tie Byrd up. (3) Byrd has the wrong style to deal with Wladdy, even if he doesn't clinch on the inside. You have to be able to knock a man out with 1 punch to have a chance against Wladdy, especially now that he has Emanuel "clinch inside" Steward as his trainer.

Chris Bryd looked like he threw the fight, I think he just wanted to get stoped on his feet, but they wouldnt let it. In the interview, him and his family were too happy, and egar to tell how Wald was so much powerful and shit, sounded like ass kissing. Either way Wald is the new top Heaveyweight. he took huge punishment that will last for weeks

If anyone says that the Chris Byrd who just fought Wlad looked the same as the Byrd that made his career or was in the first fight is a moron. He had almost zero movement, no dipping, no head movement, no footwork. He just stood there, planted himself in front of Wlad and got the piss punched out of him. Bottom line is- Wlad beat the younger, better Chris Byrd, and now he beat the older, lesser Chris Byrd. = plain and simple point dot . he beats chis byrd today and tomorrow as he did yesterday :confused:

Joe Louis had a problem hitting Billy Conn, that is until Conn decided to stand in front of him and slug it out. If Chris Byrd had reviewed the tape and studied Conn's strategy against Louis he may well have scored an upset. As it was, Byrd's strategy had no chance of success. I belive you are 100 percent correct. But Byrd thought he could do what he has been doing to other fighters and lasting with Klitchko....going in their to be hit by bombs is no good strategy.

This fight had nothing to do with size, and everything to do with abandoning commonsence. it had to do with physical strength and precision punching. byrd just couldnt get away from those long crips accurates punches like he couldnt 6 yrs ago. thats common sense dude

He didn't choke. He got knocked out by a fighter who was just better.

wlad beat him once, and he did it again, klitchko is just the better fighter Joe Louis had a problem hitting Billy Conn, that is until Conn decided to stand in front of him and slug it out. If Chris Byrd had reviewed the tape and studied Conn's strategy against Louis he may well have scored an upset. As it was, Byrd's strategy had no chance of success.

he didnt choke! he just got hs ass whooped against a much stronger and better fighter! Byrd is threw now his a spent fighter..after that beating i dont think he will have anymore meaningful or maybe retire...cant blame him if he does he just recieved his biggest payday and he is still alive..live in peace Byrd!...You gotta give him some respect he coulda quit but he wanted to continue as his face was bloodied eyes were swelling and on the verge of being hurt seriously...his heart was much stronger than his body today....peace out all !
