    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.
    Are you saying that Byrd put a shutout on Tua?

      Yep he dominated him. and that was Chris Byrd in his prime when he could counter better and was more slick than he is now. most people on here just seen his last fights where he looked slopy but they never seen him in his prime.

        Byrd looked pretty bad in his comeback fight, yeah he didn't have too many problems with his handpicked punching bag but I don't think he has the reflexes and quickness anymore. He'll be in better shape for this fight but I think this will be a good win and experience for Povetkin. Probably late TKO as Byrd was never as durable as Donald and Alexander should be getting more relaxed against tougher competition now.

            Im gonna go with Byrd because he's simply more experienced than Povetkin. I could see Byrd making Povetkin look bad and winning a wide margin UD on all the scorecards.

              You give Povetkin to much credit. He aint seeing the bell for round 2.

                The only reason why i didnt say a KO for Byrd is because he isnt a heavy puncher.

                Btw im from Montreal.

                  Your a Povetkin nuthugger if you think he's seeing the bell of the second round, end of story, we've got you figuered fella.

                    Seriously, I havn't seen alot of Povetkin but I'm favoring him in this fight, from what I've seen he looks like the real deal, Byrd's been inactive and I dont think will have what itakes to deter Povetkins offensive assault.

                      Byrd is not going to want to slug with Povetkin...

                      Byrd is a slick guy who likes to boxe and make the other guy look bad. I'm not a nuthugger for Povy but I just can't see him getting knocked out especially by a guy who isnt even known to have scary punching power.
