Chris Byrd vs. Vladimir Klitschko.... (warning..I'm giving up the result)

I have been watching boxing ever since I can remember, and as soon as Chris Byrd walked into the ring I remarked that he didn't look good. That first round I knew he was in trouble, he couldn't get inside on Klitschko at all. He just stood in the pocket and Klitschko tapped away with his jab. The jabe was ineffective, he kept holding it out and Byrd looked absolutely stymied. Sometime in the second round I told my brother that Klitschko should start unloading straight rights because Byrd was so confused by the left jab and how it was keeping him at bay. Sure enough, Klitschko started unloading on him with straight rights. Byrd was really never in the fight, but setting up those rights with that seemingly uneffective jab, and jab to hooks, was brilliant. From that point on Klitschko blew Byrd out of the water. He had him totally stymied, Byrd even lost his head movement he was so confused. Those rights that knocked him down were flush, he just ate them. 7-8 years ago Chris Byrd would not have ate those punches like that, however, Vladimir presents a big probem for him. Klitschko is so big and has certain physical gifts that makes him nearly unbeatable for a guy like Byrd. That was probably the most one-sided fight between two championship caliber fighters that I have seen in a long time.
