I say Byrd in a split decision...I dont think I'm getting off my coach today with the NBA Playoffs and this fight.

Interesting prediction. I think Wlad is way too skilled for Byrd to win more than 3 rounds, but we will see shortly. Should be bigtime (atmosphere wise) with 15,000+. It sold out in 48 hours. If Byrd fights like Byrd, it could be a methodical chess match.

Its weird but I just have a feeling about Byrd. I dont like to bet against any Manny Steward fighter but I still worry about Vlad chin and stamina.

Re: Byrd Vs Klitschko II

One thing to look out for is Manny's influence on Wlad's body. Earlier in his career, without question, Wlad was a f#cking statute. No fat, perfect proportion. But bodybuilders aren't boxers and those types of bodies aren't condusive to fight 12 rounds. He is still jacked, but more athletic looking (like Lennox). I just think it is impossible, yes impossible, to beat Wlad on the cards (unless he hits the canvas numerous times). I say this because he can flat out score. Like Lennox, Holmes, and Ali, he is constantly putting points on the board with his jab.

Because Byrd has a granite chin, Wlad's stamina should be tested. If he makes it through, combing this with his Peter performance, I would go as far to say that his stamina is still an issue, but not major or hindering anymore. Manny is teaching him to fight like a huge heavyweight, not like a middleweight.

If Byrd brings it, could be a great fight.
