Watching Byrd is about as bad as wathing Ruiz. And Povetkin isn't all that...

Thanks. Byrd quick jab and defensive south paw style threw Povetkin off a bit. Povetkin could not land his hook to the head. I was impressed with Povetkin's body shots, and quick stright right.

Dammit; I don't spreche Deutsche; and I can't get the videos to work...I'm assuming the pages popping up and red text at the bottom is an error message. Is there any English-language site this may be on?
Bryd is a hard guy to look good against, he fights not to loose rather than to win so his oppenent is always involved in a boring fight.
@ Kolya witch video? both?

The Heavyweight Champion looked great when he knocked out byrd in the 7th round.

Sort of sad to see how far Byrd's skills have diminished. Like most fighters in the latter stages of their career he just can't seem to pull the trigger anymore.
I was impressed with Povetkin's quickness with his hands but he doesn't seem to sit down on his punches or get much mmph into them. But I'd say he looks to be in tremendous condition. That with his solid boxing skills is enough to beat a lot of these overweight heavies with pitiful stamina.

I think he intentionally didn't sit on his punches that much in this fight. He has sat on his punches in other fights and shown more one punch power. He realized Byrd is fast, tricky and durable and the best thing to do was to wear him down, which he did.

From Chris Byrd interview:
When do you plan on fighting again?
CB: No time soon, my ribs need to heal.
Why did you not box?
CB: I hit him with some great body shots, and he would take a few steps back, knuckle up and come out again. I noticed this during the fight, that's the mark of a champion.
From Povetkin interview, he said that he tried to time a good single shot during the first 5 rounds, found it hard to get through Byrd's defense as Byrd was covering up well, and decided to regroup and just throw more leather at him, and it worked.
From what I see, Povetkin's head is his best weapon. And not as in headbutting. :)

In what way, exactly? Because he didn't stop him in Ike Ibeabuchi fashion? People are expecting more of the man than what there is.

- JasonIf it was because some idiot who didn't see it is accusing it of being a bad decision then yes. Povetkin won clearly according to anyone who isn't a fool.

?:blood you can keep your gay thoughts duuude!
povetkin is nothing special IMO, nothing to do with who byrd fought in the past. povetkin looked slow, fat and his punches were not as sharp as seen against lower ranked opposition in the past.
i think it's that weird hoe who's feeding him pre-fight

Looked slow? Punches not sharp? He was intentionally not sitting down on his punches all the way against a much more experienced and hard to hit opponent. Look at the speed that he throws his hooks and uppercuts with on the inside. He looked fat? Guess what-that's just his phyiscal appearance. He obviously had good enough stamina, as he was still going strong in the 11th round. If you want to judge people based on their appearance, watch bodybuilding; how you look means jack in a ring.

i think the standard of heavyweight boxing has really dropped for people to consider this kid to be something. he looks like the type of victim of one of tysons best ko video's, along with the current heavyweight champtions.

You're a retard. Looks "fitter"? Povetkin was still throwing combos and begining to put mustard on them in the 11th fucking round of his 14th professional fight. Because he doesn't run around with a 6 pack and huge arms though he's not fit, huh?

I hope Byrd made some big money in this fight. I don't like to see him take that kind of punishment, and I'm sorry he has his family witness these blowouts. Povetkin kind of reminds me of Brock, a little busier. He may give Wlad problems from the 10th round on. Can he take that signature straight right? Dunno.

Schulz was a very good HW that had bad luck with decisions. He lost to Michael Moorer by SD, and Foreman by MD. He was nearly HW Champion of the World twice.
Schulz was good, but Vlad utterly destroyed him and ruined him.
"Harder hitting"? Certainly not, Schulz was not a puncher!
"Sharper"? No, but Schulz was skilled.
"Fitter"? May be, but that is about it .

Better fight than I had thought. By all the round by round and negative comments. I thought it was a real stinker, ala Williamson vs Byrd. I enjoyed this fight even though I knew how it ended. It was a closer fight than I thought. I still not sure why it was stopped but oh well. Byrd looked slow and rusty but he made a fight of it. That is all one can ask I suppose. Povetkin did not seem all that special. He is more than Jirov was but less than most of the top 20 heavyweights. A good boxer with a jab beats him. A good fighter with a good jab and an over hand right like Wladimir, kills him.
