Easy round for Povetkin. 5-1 now, Byrd took a few tough shots too.

Is Povetkin proving anything when he gets a decision win over an old chris byrd?

Yes, of course. Byrd has only lost 3 fights in his career.

Would be more but he got some bs decisions and vitali was kicking that ass before he had to quit

[Jim Jeffries]

Povetkin got a couple of very nice combinations landed in the middle of the ring and on the ropes. I think Byrd felt them, too. Povetkin is slowing down. It's 5-1 for Povetkin.

I can't get the feed to work. The fight's not on Showtime, HBO, and I don't see it on PPV. Is this fight televised at all? And if not why go through this whole tourney thing?

[FSUNoles46]

Its not televised in America for no real reason.

6-1 Povetkin.

[!!Captain]

Povetkin is still coming forward although he slowed down quite a bit. Byrd is probably waiting for him to get really tired and he just might get that. Still, 6-1

They're forcing the prospects to go through Wlad's last opponents, keeping guys from avoiding tough fights whilke waiting for a title shot. For once a sanctioning body is doing us a service.

7-1 for Povetkin, Byrd is not doing anything.

[FSUNoles46]

I dont think Byrd has a chance. 7-1 Povetkin.

[Eno]

You guys are already hating on Povetkin for this win that he prolly will have but you forget its only his 14th fight. And a win over Chris Byrd in only your 14th fight is pretty amazing.
