Bryd is durable, dedicated and as smart as they come. In recent fights however Chris Byrd has been more vulnerable on defense. Byrd only has average legs now and George could take advantage with his footspeed. There is defiantly and edge in world class experience favoring Byrd. George has held his own against C+ level fighters but has never beaten a B level opponent. Physically George has the handspeed, defense and agility to win but is he mentally tough enough? Is Chris Byrd beaten up from all the tough fights at heavyweight?
