Advice:
IBF Heavyweight Champion & former WBO Champion Chris "Rapid Fire" Byrd (W39-L2-D1) renews old rivalries with former WBO Champion Wladimir Klitschko (W45-L3-D0) on April 22 at the SAP-Arena in Mannheim, Germany.

Last time these two giants met, the fight was a complete shutout in favour of "Dr Steelhammer" Klitschko and a similar outcome is virtually guaranteed in their April rematch.

Since that 12 round hammering, Byrd has stung nine wins in a row. The only stoppage he has scored was over a little known opponent with absolutely no form. The rest have been scorecard decisions.

Known to lack the crucial knockout power Byrd will again struggle to cope with the giant Ukrainian. Another factor to consider is that Byrd has got an iron chin, which has only seen him get stopped once in a 13-year career.

Klitschko will dominate this one again, winning by slightly less than he did on the last occasion. Only layer playing on this one is Bet & Win, take some of the 1.60 on the fight lasting into the 10th frame.

Stake : $500 To Win $300 (Excluding Stake)
