Me too and it's official -- split dec. Byrd. Good fight. I like C. Byrd a lot. So small; big heart though.

Byrd edges McCline!

Saturday, November 13 2004

By David Greene at ringside

IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd sucessfully defended his title with a twelve round split decision over Jameel McCline Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. The 270lb McCline, who came into the ring with a 56lb advantage advantage, dropped Byrd with a right hand at the end of round two and tried to take Byrd out with an all out assault in round three, however Byrd weathered the storm. By round four, however, McCline began to slow down although he continued to pound on the champion. By round seven, Byrd's quickness became more of a factor as he began to pepper the rapidly tiring McCline with combinations through round nine. McCline had a good round ten, trapping Byrd on the ropes and connecting with some hard shots. Byrd came back in the eleventh and rocked McCline then won round twelve, also. Scores were 114-112 McCline, and 115-112, 114-113 Byrd. Byrd moves to 38-2-1 with 20 KOs. McCline falls to 31-4-3 with 19 KOs.

man I gotta see the replay this weekend. You guys say Byrd looked pretty good. I gotta see this!

I enjoyed the fight. McCline easily won the first 3 or 4 rounds, he was dominating Byrd but got tired as the fight wore on and Byrd started to take control more. It was a lot more entertaining to watch than I thought it would be and despite them being good friends neither of them held back at all. Overall, solid fight and while Byrd deserved to win McCline will feel disappointed he didn't sustain the pressure on Byrd longer to take the win.
