George Kimball: Byrd retains title
By TSS Predictions April 20th, 2006Big George Kimball sees Byrd keeping his crown
Chris Byrd has struggled against his last four opponents, none of them world-beaters, and when he and Wladimir Klitschko first fought Chris lost 10, 11, and 12 rounds on the judges’ cards. The result, then, should be a foregone conclusion, but that analysis doesn’t take into account the indomitable spirit of the Brothers Klitschko. Contrary to conventional analysis, Byrd probably can’t win even by outboxing Wladimir, but he could win if his opponent quits because of an injury, either real or imagined. Byrd retains his title on a late-round booboo.

What a load of crap. Relying on another man to fail for victory is not a formula for success. A lot of people like to crap all over Klitscko, but he just beat the biggest puncher in the division. He faced down the supposed King Kong of the division and won convincingly. Wlad wins this fight easy. BTW, I recall George Kimball describing the O’Neil Bell-Jean Marc Mormeck fight as a crappy, boring fight…………..something to that effect. What a load of rubbish, that was one of the best fights this year. Two men beating the hell out each other at a hard pace. What the hell was George watching?
