**Shaun George KTFO Chris Byrd Video**

sad to see

 

Call me a misogynist, but that's the truth of the matter. I'm not the first one to say this. Tracy dictates Chris's business affairs. I guarantee the buck stops with Tracy - she has the last word in Chris's house, I mean Tracy's house. :yep

 

I'd still say that going down to LHW was the right move for Byrd. I mean he didn't have no future in the HW division, so he had to try something completely different. It just didn't work out. But at least he tried. He had a great career and he should retire now. The fact that he managed to come down to LHW from HW demands a lot of respect in itself.

I never really liked watching Byrd, but one has to respect him - he was competitive with the best HWs for years, guys that were much bigger and stronger than him, he always fought his heart out, took the biggest shots from Klitschko and Ibeabuchi and still got up. He beat some good HWs and even held two belts.

I am absolutely astonished as to how weight draining can damage a fighter so much , even a great one..

 

Ibeabuchi,Tua, Wladimir Klitchko 2x, Oqendo, TOS, Vitali Klitschko, Golota, Povetkin, Mccline, Holyfield

Respect

Toney didnt have a career like that at HW

 

Its hardly surprising to be honest. Boxing is a physically demanding sport. When you loose that much weight your bound to loose alot pf physical conditioning. Byrds face looked horrible at the weight. His been 200lbs since practically turning pro. To drop that kind of weight 15 years later is bound to have a drastic effect on your body at his age. I couldnt understand why he elcted to make 175 in the first place. If he`d made 200lbs the transition would have much more graceful. But bearing in mind his recent performances and his erroding skills its hardly surprising that the result was so bad. Dam shame as Byrd was a great warrior. But its surely time to hang them up.

 

Yeha but Toneys career at heavy has been only a few years. For all intents and purposes Byrd turned pro as a heavy bar a few early fights.

 

You can even make out Byrd saying "Stop it. Stop it." when Nady is counting the second knockdown.

That penultimate knockdown was nasty, his legs went totally.

I'm in the camp that felt Byrd had been slowly on the slide since his great 2002, beating Tua and Holyfield. But I didn't expect this outcome.

 

No, it wasn't.

 

Sad to see.

 

did hear what he said to his father?
"......sorry" then big cow eyes

really sad to see them turn out likethis

 

I never liked Byrd fights and his constant religious chat, but he deserved his rep. as a very gutsy fighter.
Sad to see him apologising to his dad etc there, but really he can be very proud of his career and nobody with a brain will hold that loss against him, he's totally done.

 

His dad needs to apologize to him for leaving him out there.

 

I agree. I also think George turned out to be a much higher level opponent than they anticiapted. Sharp, fast, and pretty powerful puncher. Good fighter. :good
