Byrd Feels Experience Will Beat Povetkin

Povetkin is going to win this in my opinion.
Either by decision or late stoppage.
One thing you can't question is Povetkins progress so far.
Much better than a lot of prospects records these days.
New blood is what is needed so the Povetkin win is good for the game.

Chris Byrd (43-3, 21KOs) certainly has guts. The former champ is past his prime and heads to the heart of Germany on Saturday to face unbeaten Alexander Povetkin (13-0, 10KOs) in Erfurt. The fight was put together as part of an IBF elimination tournament that leads to a title shot against Wladimir Klitschko. Before either of them gets a shot at Klistchko, the winner would first have to face the winner of Calvin Brock and Eddie Chambers, taking place on Nov. 2 [details]

....I think it's more just plain ******ity and pride that may end up getting him killed. Pride is what made him fight Wlad the second time and that same pride now has him fighting a young dangerous heavy, in order to fight another young dangerous heavy, in order to get his ass kicked again by Wlad. Balls?? No ******ity??? Oh hell yes.

i dont think its ****** going in against untested prospect. byrd needs a good win and beating povetkin is not out of the question.

.....But look what he gets as a reward if he does win. He gets to fight Brock and then if he beats him he gets to get his ass kicked by Wlad again.
