Wilder vs Chris Byrd

byrd has the ability to nullify inaccurate punches like vitali and wildman, i'd give him a good chance.

 

Byrd can nullify Byrd ?

flop mate :smoke

 

Wilder has fought 1 top 10 heavyweight his whole career and his best wins are Stiverne and an old shot to pieces was never world class anyway Arreola. His numbers are fluffed up fighting bums and he destroyed his body with his atrocious boxing technique trying to put out a guy standing right in front of him. Byrd was a very smart fighter who made his career fighting bigger guys he could take advantage of with his superior technical skill. If you think he is going to fight the same way as Stiverne or Arreola YDKSAB. He gave guys awkward angles, turned them, and could make guys over extend because he understood distance. Wlad himself who is levels above Wilder technically, didn't knock him out in the first fight and he had some serious power though he did manage to get a TKO 6 years later. It is unfortunate most of this will go over your head as you compared Byrd to Stiverne and what is worse you compared Wlads accomplishments to Wilder. atsch

 

Random trivia: What's Wilder's stoppage rate against top 10 rated HWs? 0%

 

And most people predicted Stiverne to knock him out easy. Stiverne didn't win a round in a fight which proved Wilder to be much better than people had thought.
Shooting out a laser jab while on the move like he did hadn't been seen in the division for a very long time.
It takes a high level of skill and coordination to box a consistent back foot game like that.
Wlad Klitschko couldn't do it. He'd be all over Bermane's back. Wilder never clinched ONCE.
If he draws Byrd forward , Byrd would not stand a chance and Wilder has proved he has the ability to keep it long.

His numbers are exactly the same as every other top ranked HW. Show me another HW besides Tyson Fury thats facing better competition?

Byrd fought absolute horse chit. And he won by robbery against the best guys he met , whereas Wilder has thoroughly dominated or destroyed everybody he ever faced.
His success was purely down tho the fact that his opponents couldn't move.
Guys slow as molasses with no movement like McCline clearly beat Byrd. Where was this superior technical skill against a lesser guy than Wilder?

Why wouldn't he?? His strategy against Stiverne would be optimal as its the same style that Byrd proved he has no answer for.

A raw unrefined Wlad humiliated Byrd , floored him twice and destroyed his face. That was a very one dimensional Wlad who simply just stood there shooting jabs and right hands. Wlad was not a risk taker so Byrd going 12 in a moot point.
Byrds upper body movement is not faster than Wilders blazing hooks and right hands.
He was wide open to hooks while stepping off to the side as was shown against Ibeauchi. If you can't see that Wilder does extremely well with the limited tools he has , it just makes you another dumb hater. That speed and power is going to turn Byrds world upside down.

My left ball knows more about this sport than you do.

When all else fails , make stuff up. atsch

 

No they weren't you idiot. They all smoke him.

 

:rofl :good

The serial flopper left another one behind.

 

Yeah find it funny how his fanboys here are confident that he stops Byrd... He's taken a while to stop chinny guys like Molina and Szpilka who aren't anywhere near as slippery as Byrd, went 8 with the corpse of Arreola, 12 with Stiverne who was stopped by a journeyman and dropped by a light puncher in his very next fight.

Byrd on the other hand went the distance with the more aggressive late 90s-early 00s Wladamir Klitschko, Tua in a winning effort, Faded but still a very game and dangerous Golota, McCline among others.

Someone else made a good point earlier in the thread.. Byrd gave Vitali a much more refined and accomplished fighter than Wilder a ton of problems with his slickness. Wilder has a reputation as a wild puncher and it's not a stretch thinking that his poor technique coupled with Byrds slipperiness could lead to injury.

 

Wilders use of the jab would be why Byrd would eat a Wilder right hand and get ko'd. And just because Byrd stopped Vitali doesn't mean jack. Wlad tortured him. He'd last maybe 5 rounds just because he's Byrd. I know one thing. Byrd would beat Headvetkin with his big ****en Dallas Cowboys scoreboard head.

 

Wlad has a vastly superior jab/right hand and Byrd lasted 12... Got battered but lasted 12. 5 rounds? Yeah only 5 when Molina, Szpilka, decrepit Arreola, Stiverne and Duhaupas last longer. LOL.

 

The jab always caused problems for Byrd and Wilder is tall enough, long enough, strong enough and fast enough to keep on Byrd on the end of his jab and ko Byrd. Your A,B,C logic doesn't apply here. Wilder is 6'7. His reach would give Byrd serious problems, but you guys believe everyone beats Wilder I know.

 

Wilder is too wild and inaccurate with his windmills. Byrd would tool him. I grant that Wilder might do better if he tried to use his size and lead with the jab. But Byrd had some serious skills. He's not Stiverne or fricken Blubbereola.

 

ABC logic? LOL. You just claimed that tall, strong fighters with good jabs give Byrd trouble. I pointed out a fact that he went the distance with a guy who had 1) a better jab 2) better right hand 3) better accuracy... and more proven power. How would Wilder set up the knock out with his crude punching? Chances are he gets frustrated after a couple of rounds and reverts back to his windmilling ways and injures himself in the process after being made to look like a fool.

 

Wilder was losing rounds to the Pin.

Byrd schools him, though Wilder has a punchers chance.
