    Might be the first time that Byrd would face a heavyweight that was just as fast as he was. I think very highly of both guys and how technically sound they were. I think most would favor Byrd but I actually like Chambers in a bit of an upset. Chambers was a guy that knew how to fight a left handed guy and like I said, he was just as quick as Byrd.

    Honestly, after reviewing his record he does not have a lot of notable southpaws on his record. My comment about him knowing how to fight a southpaw is a bit of projection on my part based on his amauter pedigree and my perception of how talented and smart as a fighter he was. The best name was Mchunu who is a solid Cruiserweight titleholder that he actually lost to.

    It is an interesting fight, I think it would be very close. I could definitely see it as a draw.

    Could be a TKO suffered by the audience. :sleeping:

    A sure cure for insomnia, and a big black eye for boxing.

    I actually think it would be an excellent fight. Fast, hyper-skilled guys. Maybe not powerpunchers per se but competitive fighters.
