    Good round 4 for Povetkin. He had Byrd against the ropes for most of the round and landed some big shots. Byrd is complaining to the ref and clowning more than throwing punches.

    40-36 Povetkin.

    byrd is fighting a dumb fight. i dont know if he's expecting povetkin to tire himself out or his reflexes arent just there anymore. so far, he's just pitty patting and this round he did nothing but sitting on the ropes.

    Byrd seems more interested in spoiling and grimacing, I don't know how he expects to win the decision...

    Byrd enjoying more success in the 5th, his counters were thrown in combination...Povetkin looks a bit out of ideas

    I would put Povetkin a level above ibragimov..better footwork, more accurate...neither have a jab to speak of....

    Povetkin landing a lot in the 6th

    6th was good for Povetkin, Byrd got in some slaps though. Pretty good fighting in that round

    Also remember how few fights Povetkin has. And Byrd is much better than Holyfield at this point

    Povetkin's workrate is impressive. Byrd seemed to be breathing hard in the end of rounf eight

    I would make Byrd a live dog against Ibragimov or Peter if he got the shot...Povetkin landing more, Byrd fading a bit

    9th round was closer but again Povetkin took it by couple of clean blows at the end. I don't know about you guys, but to me this is a much better fight than Ibragimov's or Peter's latest

    It hasn't aired yet. It's the main event, Byrd-Povetkin is the co-feature.

    Good action in the 10th, this fight has really picked up after a lousy opening 4 rds or so

    Problem there is that Povetkin gets close to him and punches faster than most big heavyweights

    And I think Povetkin stunned Byrd with that right hand that stopped him in his tracks in Round 10.
