+*"This was one of my best overall fights," [[Chris Byrd]] said. "It had to be. Tua was the No. 1 contender. He's a great fighter, but I was on top of my game and the better man tonight. I hate losing rounds. But in the last two rounds, I knew he had to knock me out. But I knew I had enough rounds in the bag to win the fight. I did what I always do and that's just box. The fight went exactly how I expected. When he hit me with a big shot, I'd try to come back with five or six more punches."
-LAS VEGAS -- Heavyweight Chris Byrd scored a unanimous decision, upsetting David Tua on Saturday night to earn a shot at the International Boxing Federation title.
