    What happens here?
    Slippery blown up to Heavy Byrd, who did very well for himself..
    Up against good old, British favourite, Big Frank?
    12 rounds of course.

    Slippery indeed. I can see Byrd taking a points win. Unless big Frank can tag him. I can’t see Frank outboxing him.

    But Bruno had a good hard punishing jab. Too slow maybe but if he got Lewis with jab he can get Byrd.

    I think byrd shades this one, possibly even scores a rare stoppage like he did to Jimmy thunder I believe

    It probably ends with Byrd TKO to be honest.

    People call Byrd a feather fist, but if he is landing on you at will, then you are quickly going to get into trouble.

    Bruno by KO. Byrd runs Frank ragged for a few rnd but Frank s jab would keep him backing up . Big ko mid rnds ike style .

    Many people forget that Byrd actually hurt Tua to the body when they fought in an IBF title eliminator back in 2001.

    Byrd outboxes the plodding Frank to take a dec, unless he walks into a big one which is always a possibility.

    That's what I see happening here. Frank game as usual but finding Byrd horrendous to fight. If Chris have had more power then he stops Frank but he does enough to get that decision.
    Unless, like you say, Bruno manages to land one on Byrds chin and stop him!
