i'd realy like to see Byrdy win this fight but he's probably gonna lose. Byrdy needs to do a lamon brewster on big bad wlad's ass, probably chris' only chance is to go to wladdy's body early. he is at least a decent body puncher, he was able to hurt ibeabuchi to the body.
if chris can go to body for the first few rounds, maybe later as wladdy tires he can force a late stoppage
Most of all I would like a competitive, clean fight in which both men give a good account of themselves.
I would like to see Byrd defend himself well, fire back effectivly when he gets the chance, and force the fight sometimes. I would like to see him pick the right times to throw the hardest straight left hands he's capable of at Wladdy's chin to see if the bigger man can take it.
I would like to see Wladdy use his heavy jab and left hook to keep Byrd on the outside, and fire the big straight right hand sometimes to test Byrd's defence and alertness. I don't want to see Wladdy clinch on the inside, although I think he will . I don't mind if he rests inside occasionally and lays in a bit (like Audley Harrison did against Guinn) as long as he pulls out and starts firing off the jab. Tying up Byrd's arms is not a manly thing for a 6'6", 245 lb. man to do against a much smaller guy. We will have to see.
I think Byrd is a substantial underdog, and so I'm hoping that he gives a good account of himself. If Wladdy starts clinching I will root for Byrd. If Wladdy fights like a man on the inside, let the best man win!
