Weekend Boxing Schedule-Chris Byrd is a Skinny Minny

ANOTHER rainy crappy Friday in the LumpMeg State. The only fight on this weekends schedule that sparks my Bumpiosity is the Chris Byrd vs. Shaun George fight. The Byrd man as you recall was the slick heavyweight champ for a while before Klitschko destroyed him a few times. Byrd was never a big heavyweight and really had no power but no one wanted to fight him because he was quick, had a great jab, and excellent defense. He wasn't going to knock anyone out and his fights were boring to watch but he made you look bad (which is why he rarely got and big paydays). So now the cat, I mean the Byrd, is going down TWO weight classes to the highly competitive Light Heavyweight division. I mean you got Hopkins, Jones Jr., and Antonio Tarver to deal with. Before I make any judgments I will let Chris get one fight under his belt to see how he looks. This just might be the right division for the Byrd Man to Soar...Larry Lump is one witty ass MO-F...shut ya mouth....
