**Shaun George KTFO Chris Byrd Video**

Yeah I can defenitily believe this after watching the video. If you look at his movement in the first round after he takes the first couple of punches its way off. The first thing that came to mind was that his walking looks like mine does after I've been on the bike for an hour - springy and awkward. Thought he would have had more resistance then this. Like even a shot Gatti against Gomez didn't burnout that quickly.

 

Byrds corner should've called it when he got the Bambi legs. You gotta protect your man above all.

 

Ya didn't see the fight but the highlights weren't fun to watch. Thats for sure.

 

I thought they would never stop it. Throw the towel for ****'s sake! He's your son!

 

I'm sure that was on their mind, but hoping for a gift from the gods in the form of a decision was probably also on their mind, and protecting Byrd from a second consecutive HW loss.

 

its just sad

"give to the old man his pension"! (c)

 

Byrd gave it a hell of an effort despite getting broken down. Thats the sad part. He's just not what he was:nono The speed adjustment to LHW didnt go well at all.

ESB Exclusive Interview: James Toney

15.01.06

​

ESB: Can a fight with Chris Byrd happen?

James Toney: (Raising his voice and initially addressing his entourage) You hear this ****? The Chris Byrd fight was suppose to happen the night before the Superbowl…in Detroit. But you know what, he did that **** in his last fight, everything got cut off. He killed himself. And anyway, I hope you send this message to Chris Byrd: Quit having your wife talk for you, Piggie Smalls. His wife’s name is Piggie Smalls Byrd.

 

Toney is a punk. He braggs about him having "heavyweight balls" and talks **** about Byrd. Well guess what, Byrd stepped in the ring with a Klitschko 3 times, with Ibeabuchi, Tua and a lot of others. When Toney twice got a gift title shot from both Klitschko's in a time he needed them pretty bad, what happened? He turned them down.

 

He didnt overtrain. He had no business down at 75. Physically his body was accustomed to the weight. To loose that amount of weight and conditioning at his age bearing in mind the wear and tear on him after his fights with Vlad and Potkevin was courting with disaster. When i saw his picture and saw how gaunt he looked i knew his conditioning was horrible. Byrds face was skeletal. It was a dam shame he never stopped off at 200lbs. All the guy left had was his huge heart. I hope he hangs them up.

 

Jeez. That was bad and embarrassing to lose to a guy like George. Byrd has got to retire now.

 

Toney does have a point. I've stated, as did others, that Tracy intervenes at times when she should not have. Also, who is truly directing the career of Byrd, Chrissy or Tracy? This is a pet peeve many have with Byrd. Tracy comes across as a domineering and babbling yak mouth (i.e. Gin Mosley) who has little knowledge or interest in the sport other than Chris's paycheck. Married or not I find it rather repugnant for a man to allow his wife or girlfriend to be his mouthpiece, especially regarding a mans business affairs. If Chrissy can't speak for himself then inevitably he invites criticism.

 

i dont think george is too bad to lose too...
byrd left it until he was too old to do this...if he was 31/32 i expect he would have done much better..
