This is going to be one tough fight. Tiger will win.
HE MUST WIN, Jirov will think of those dogs that used to chase him when Alexi Whateverhisnameis used to train him, he'll think about being left out in the middle of the lake and having to swim back, and the sticks that Alexi used to beat him with when his performance wasn't satisfactory. Jirov is one tough motherfucker, he can block out the pain and get up and give the other guy some. He'll beat Moorer, and i mean BEAT Moorer
i think the Tiger is free and hungry too, there's no way Moorer wants this win as much as Jirov does. this is Jirov's gateway into bigger fights in the hw division, hopefully. i think the Tiger will show Louise what he's gonna do to him
This is going to be one tough fight. Tiger will win.
Jirov is in a very good shape, good triceps and good shoulder muscles.
Moorer is in a very good shape, with good biceps.
Both of them look very good.
Moorer is a little thick near wasteline, but does not look fat.
Moorer is in an excellent shape, it seems.
Moorer said that he is going to "Tame the Tiger".
Jirov smiled and said "The Tiger is free and hungry."

Have you seen the weight in? Is Jirov in good shape. Is Moorer in good shape?

I will watch BDSSP at 11 and find out. Moorer's 247 is better than his previous 260, but might be a little too much.

One On One With Vassiliy Jirov
By G. Leon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GL: What's going on Vassiliy? How's everything been going? "Everything has been perfect KGB. I've been putting in a lot of work and I'm just ready to do my job and kick some butt on Thursday night."
GL: Can you give us some of your thoughts on Michael Moorer?
Vassiliy Jirov: "He's a former world champion with a lot of experience at heavyweight. He's dangerous and I need to bring my best to win this fight. I've trained to make sure I'll be at my best when I get in the ring."
GL: Obviously this isn't the same Michael Moorer that beat Evander Holyfield. Is it difficult to get up for someone like Moorer, who although he has a lot of experience, his best days are clearly behind him, on top of that his conditioning program doesn't seem to be among the best out there?
VJ: "It's no problem for me KGB because I train hard all the time. For all my fights I do the same thing, I work a lot and I work hard. I'm can't think about what he's doing or how he's coming in, I just work, work, work.
GL: Were you hoping to return to the ring against a rated contender or someone who may pose a tougher fight?
VJ: "You ask me who I want to fight, I want the best. Right now we're getting ready to fight Michael Moorer and after that it's going to be something big for sure. Be patient and you will see."
GL: After a nine month layoff, will a fight like this help you shake the rust off?
VJ: "I don't feel rusty, I'm in the gym everyday and everyday I'm working hard. I'm taking this fight very serious and I think it's going to be a good performance for me."
GL: Goossen-Tutor Promotions is promoting this event, GTP has promoted several of your fights since the James Toney fight. Are you hoping that fighting on all of these GTP show leads to a rematch with Toney?
VJ: "A rematch is something that I want. After we fought he went up to heavyweight and I think the rematch would be a much better for me at heavyweight, I feel like a really strong heavyweight right now. We'll see though, it's something we've talked about so we have to wait and see what happens."
GL: IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd will be on hand for this fight is that something....
VJ: "Now we're talking KGB, that's the fight I want. I just saw Chris a little while ago, and because he's not such a big heavyweight, we're about the same weight, I think that would be great, great fight for boxing. I've talked to my people and I'm hoping we can get something done with Byrd really soon."
GL: Is there anything you'd like to say in closing?
VJ: "I'm baaack, so tune into to this fight. I'm going to kick some butt!"
Questions/Comments: gleon@Boxingtalk.net
IMO Moorer is more washed up than Holyfield, he'll have some moments but Jirov beats him up. Good tune-up bout for more wars at heavy. I would love to see the Tiger beat up Ruiz, JR won't be able to do his disgusting punch-clinch-hug-rabbitpunch tactics against Vassily. VJ will throw uppercuts on him and punish his body. Jirov is like a logger who cuts down big trees...not with a chainsaw...but with an ax!
Go Vassily! Go Tiger!
I'd like to see the Jirov-Toney rematch!
Jirov is one of my favorite fighters around and I think he will easily beat Moorer but Ruiz is another story. Don't get me wrong and think that I write this because I am from Puerto Rico like Ruiz, it's because I don't know if Jirov has the strenght to control the tactics used by Ruiz.

Sure let's do it - I've got Moorer and you're gonna owe me 25 large!
I know this is supposed to be in the betting section but oh well, it's a done deal!
:cool:

I think that Jirov took so much time off to adjust to the HW division. His tactics of "let them do whatever and I'll get them later" can get him in trouble in HW. Maybe it's me but I think we will see a different fighter on the 9th.
GO JIROV!!!
Go Jirov!!!! One of my fav fighters because of his heart and huge ballz. i've said this before but i think he can take a belt or two at hw, i'd sure like to see him inflict a beating on John huggybear Ruiz, i can see Louise going in for a hug and Jirov uppercutting his ass as he comes in
