Chris Byrd versus Gerry Cooney

[goose 5]

12 rounds.

Cooney could do something similar to what Ibeabuchi had done, but, if Byrd overcame the early danger, he would edge a decision win.

I thought the same as well. Byrd used his southpaw jabs and combinations on the outside behind engaging Cooney, he would take a decision, but if Cooney caught Byrd off the corner or ropes with a big left hook it would be over for Byrd either in the 6 round or later rounds.
