What did I say? Shaun George knocks out Chris Byrd!

[!! Shawn]

Anyone that watched Byrds sparing video knew he didn't have a chance in hell of winning this fight.

I never understood why Byrd was supposed to be good anyway. Why because he moved down in weight? He's a light puncher who relied on speed and reflexes. Is he supposed to gain punching power all of a sudden? I expected him to look bad, not surprised he lost.

I'm just puzzled at why so many people thought he'd be good. On paper this was a bad thing, and he looekd shot to me against Povetkin and the ESPN2 fight before that anyway.

Agreed. A shot fighter does not get unshot by moving down in weight. As the saying goes, once it is beaten out of you, its gone forever.

I made this pick a long time before that video came out.

The other was a TKO loss to Matt Godfrey, who someone on this board was hyping big time a while back.

Are those losses anything to worry about? Has he improved from what caused him to lose those fights?

Please, share your thoughts.

Matt Godfrey walks around at 230, Shaun George walks around at 185.
