I think Povetkin is going to take this one. He's the 6:1 favorite. Will be a pretty big upset if Byrd wins.

EDIT: This is in Germany too. I doubt it will be a win for Byrd if it goes to the cards and is any where near a close fight.

Povetkin by a wide decision. Byrd's not so easy to knock out.

I agree. Povetkin isn't ****** either. He'll be safe knowing he's in with one of the X greats.

Byrd by UD, I can't see him losing this one.

Povetkin has no lucidity in his boxing at all, he's flat footed, looks like a plodder most of the time, he has semi-fast hands and he's a semi-hard puncher, Byrd will look to out box him and will do it IMO.

Byrd wins????????smoke less crack

Byrd by TKO ???????? Yeah because Byrd's such a knockout artist right? A few years ago Byrd runs circles around this guy to an easy UD. As it stands, although Povetkin only has 13 pro fights, he has a great amatuer record and a recent gold medal. Byrd's not easy to knock out, but Ike and Wlad proved that he could be. Povetkin by TKO rd 8.
