Who wins this matchup?
I like Chris Byrd by a decision. I know that’s not much of an analysis but it seems to me like the most probable outcome.
Do you guys remember the male soap opera of Joe Macy and father versus Teddy Alice. Teddy used to go out of his way and tell everybody that Joe Macy was incapable of fighting anymore because of a brain injury. This made things difficult for Macy's team to get a fight because they were supposed to fight Mike Tyson next. The only thing is here is that he was cleared to fight again and healthy enough to do so but with the influence of Teddy on the whole boxing world he may have saved Macy's life but he jumped him out of his future in the heavyweight boxing scene
Mesi was technical more skillful than Ibeabuchi (especially in the upper-body, with his rolling) and had similar power, but was just smaller. He reminded me to Jack Dempsey. So it isn't impossible that "Babyface" could knock Byrd out (but not vice-versa). Their speed is not very different.
