    Yeah with Cruiser at 200 and Byrd only weighing 211 for this fight, I think he can make it and should still be able to compete.

        I just read the report on ********* and they made it sound like it was a very close and competitive fight, with Byrd winning a lot of rounds. I gave Byrd 1 round out of 11 and there was another that could go either way. But more than 2?

          They also said that Byrd was much faster... which did not seem to be the case. Povetkin seemed quite quick, on par with Byrd.

              Hey... good to see you here. Does Povetkin have any chance against Wlad?

                Doesn't look like it. He is not fast and powerful enough to give Wlad any problems. And while his defense has improved, it is still work in progress. I think Wlad will KO Povetkin within 8 rounds. That's as long as Povetkin makes it past Brock, which is still a big question.

                Are you posting somewhere else?

                    No... I have not been posting anywhere... I don't have time for this.

                    Povetkin vs Brock would be a great fight. I think Povetkin will win. Wlad seems to be much better than Sasha at this point, but Sasha has a lot of room for improvement before they meet.
