After a very poor performance against Williamson, Byrd surprises us all again by performing even worse. Is it old age, is he afraid of giant sized Ukrainians or is he getting sick of boxing? It ain't heart when you just stand in front of an opponent and let him hit you, it is just plain ******. He didn't let McCline hit him, and he could have frustrated Klitschko as well. Those of you who want to blame the size difference, think again. This fight had nothing to do with size, and everything to do with abandoning commonsence.

Watch the ****ing fight.

Joe Louis had a problem hitting Billy Conn, that is until Conn decided to stand in front of him and slug it out. If Chris Byrd had reviewed the tape and studied Conn's strategy against Louis he may well have scored an upset. As it was, Byrd's strategy had no chance of success.

He didn't choke. He got knocked out by a fighter who was just better.

I belive you are 100 percent correct. But Byrd thought he could do what he has been doing to other fighters and lasting with Klitchko....going in their to be hit by bombs is no good strategy.

If anyone says that the Chris Byrd who just fought Wlad looked the same as the Byrd that made his career or was in the first fight is a moron.

He had almost zero movement, no dipping, no head movement, no footwork. He just stood there, planted himself in front of Wlad and got the piss punched out of him.

Bottom line is- Wlad beat the younger, better Chris Byrd, and now he beat the older, lesser Chris Byrd.

Did Byrd choke again?
