Emanuel Steward picks McCline to win!

[hollister]

This ain't gonna be no "gimme" for Byrd, if he wins, he's gonna have to WIN it. I think with Byrd being so much smaller, McCline will bring his 'A' game, it's gonna be a fight.

I'm starting to think more that way, I didn't feel that way before but now I think its gonna be a lot tougher fight for Byrd.

McCline should easily knock Byrd into the cruiserweight division.

Byrd will on points but i do believe it could be tough. McCline hasn`t beaten a real decent fighter before and i see nothing to suggest he can beat byrd other than he is quite big!

[Great]

Emanuel Steward picks McCline to win!

Why not?
McCline is cowardly only when meets against powerful fughter. If he not afraid of the opponent, can box very well. Also he has strong punches and very good speed. Jamil can win.

Byrd is so overrated! he has never done well against someone way taller than him. All Mcline needs to to is jab his ass off all night. an average big big man is better than an everge little man. Mcline on pts

[leff]

Manny also said that LL would whop Vit so.....

Anyway Byrd by points his so much more skilled than Mcline.

[guru]

i cant see mcquire winning in any fashion... and i dont even like byrd.... i do think he can be competitve early on, before he tires...

[bandito]

mccline is a slow dopey fighter!! he will not win. he sucks!! if he wins, then byrd sucks. byrd will outbox the shoes off of mccline!

There are several factors to keep in mind here.
1. Byrd hasnt looked that great latley, esspecially in terms of elusivness and high volume, fast combination punching.
2. Byrd has struggled with large men that can throw a decent strait shot.
3. McCline has no reason to be afraid of Byrd's power, only his elusivness, which seems to be declining.
4. McCline's confidence seems to be improving.
5. McCline is making very little money for this fight, he may be esspecially hungry for this fight.

These reasons alone give Big Time a chance of winning. I hope he does, I will rooting for him!
