AMAZING CHRIS BYRD

In a match that exemplified the biblical story of David versus Goliath,

Chris Byrd

survived  the

Jameel "Big Time" Mccline

Onslaught in the early rounds to put up a brave and valiant effort that saw him nearly stopping the Big Time giant who outweighed him by 40 pounds enroute to winning a very razor thin decision.
