Chris Byrd Good Quotations

Mentally, it has been a struggle. The business side of this boxing is horrible and I think it has taken my best years of boxing. If I would have been very active these past three years, with two to three fights at least a year, you would have seen some really good fights, really special skills. But I still try to present them in the ring to the best of my ability.

Hopefully, the referee will do his job. Hopefully, we just fight and give a good performance to the crowd.

Style wise he fought a good game plan. I need to be active. I've been off for 11 months and this is what happens.

Everyone has bad fights. The last couple of fights I tried to put on a good performance. But I'm a counter puncher and he just sticks and moves.

I know what kind of talent Wladimir will have and I respect that a lot. Yes, he has a great jab. He has a great arsenal of punches. But I come to fight and not shy away from anyone. I go in and give it my all and put on a good show.
