Ruslan Chagaev vs. Mike Perez Dec 1

[Clegg]

Looks like just about everybody thinks Perez will win.

I do too, but Ruslan's experience, chin and counter-punching should make it a competitive fight.

Yeah, Perez looks really wild at times, I don't know how good his chin is (has looked fine so far) but I wouldn't be surprised to see him get caught with something big sooner or later.

Chagaev could pull off a points victory. He has a tight gaurd, and is quite quick.

[The Nephilim]

Chagaev, points.

[The Hammer]

Chagaev could pull off a points victory. He has a tight guard, and is quite quick.

It's definitely not impossible, although I think Perez will be too young, too fast and too strong for him.

I'm happy to see some interesting heavyweight matchups are finally being made.

Yes I think Chagaev will struggle greatly with Perez' age.

Yes I think Chagaev will struggle greatly with Perez' age.

With his youthful energy and determination. Ruslan has looked a bit faded in recent years.

I just noticed on Ring Magazine's website that this is an 8-round fight. You would think both fighters would be past that stage in their careers.

I don't think so.

It's on Sat1 in Germany.
