How exactly did Chris Byrd expect to win not throwing punches ?

[Peterp]

He should be embarrased, not because of the fact he lost, but the way he lost

bloody boring fight but Byrd really didn't give it a red hot go

Well he prolly thought that if Floyd can be p4p even if he didn't throw any meaningful punches, why can't he? Too bad it backfired, you actually have to have a biased fanbase to pull that one off.

He usually is a faster reflexed, counter puncher. When you lose your speed, you lose both of those capabilities. So, he got knocked out, essentially.

Sorry about the post.

I thought Byrd could have done a lot more to win.

And I thought the fight was actually kind of entertaining mostly because of Byrd's antics in the ring.

What'd he do that was so entertaining?

he was past his prime. a prime chris byrd would have beaten povetkin easily.

If you think Floyd doesn't throw punches, then people would be just RUSHING into him at all times and bombing away. I rarely see that happen, so he must be doing.. SOMETHING. Should he be doing more, (for excitement) yes, but it's hard to argue with success.

Always the Floyd defender.
