Alexander Povetkin vs. Chris Byrd: Who Will Win?

[kayjay]

And before anyone asks, I'm not signing my name to anything since I admitted to not knowing anything about Povetkin, but if you had a gun to my head, I'd say Byrd wins a decision and gets robbed on the cards. That wasn't an option in the poll.

It'd be like saying you picked Peter to decision Toney in their first fight and claiming you were right lol.

Nobody believes you're actually laughing when you type 'lol'.

This is a tough fight to call; Byrd's past his prime and argubly coming to the end of his career but might have a couple good performances left 'in the tank.' On the other hand, you have Povetkin; a decent hw prospect who has a fan friendly scrapping style but is being, what I consider, 'over hyped' by Sauerland promoters.

So my prediction: it's too early to make one...I would like to see the Povetkin-Donald fight before I jump to any conclusions. Anyone have it?..

I think the real question is who cares who wins. Byrd is a mediocre boxer at best, and doesn't deserve to have ever hold a title in his life.

I respect Povetkin a lot for taking these tough early fights. I will say he wins by decision, but Byrd is a brilliant fighter and I think this is going to be a real test of Povetkin's skills.

The real answer is that hw fans are excited about this young prospect Povetkin and are eager to see if he can beat a decent boxer like Chris Byrd. I'll be rooting for Povetkin because he has a fan friendly style and would like to see him go far in the division...

You really believe he is a decent fighter? I saw him fight live against Jameel Mccline, and he was floored, and looked very sloppy. I think he is an untalented fighter, and a paper champion. I think this fight is important, but not in Byrds outlook.

Yeah, I said he was a decent boxer, not a world beater or HOF'er. Byrd's a slick boxer who's fought good competition most of his career but never had many career defining wins. A dominant win over Chris Byrd by any young prospect is a step in the right direction, IMO...

you should see Byrd fight David Tua. He put on a boxing clinic and one every round of that fight. he was slippin and countering anything tua tried to hit him with.
