Official SSS vs Maskaev november 12

I think that Maskaev is being underrated here,its a fairly even matchup in my eyes.This one could go either way

Sam by 8th round KO, but I hope Maskaev pulls out an upset.

Maskaev is a powerhouse, but he was never able to win the big fights. He had a very funny career due to poor management. He fought a prime McCall and Tua within his first dozen fights which was extremely stupid on a management standpoint. He was not ready to fight top tier professionals at that point. Now who knows what he has left regardless of his new management team! Sam seems like a tough guy, but he did not impress me against Juan Carlos Gomez which is the only time I have gotten to see him. He seems to be very unskilled as far as boxing fundamentals are concerned. The fight could go either way. But Maskaev seems to be lacking in the chin area? That could be his undoing at any time unless Sam isn't that big of a puncher?

If Sam wins he'll probably be the number one contender for the WBC. If Vitali wins then expect Vitali to give Sam a chance but if Rahman wins there is no way Sam will get a chance at Rahman.

that's all in the past; under the new management, Maskaev is a good opponent to about anyone You are right! All he is, is an opponent, a stepping stone!

Lets be realistic man, this guy is no contender. I seen this guy at Brighton Beach here in Brooklyn with his daughter. He made a ton on real estate in Staten Island. Well enough to support himself. So he's doing fine with or without boxing. I guess its more trying to redefine his name and legacy. I hope he beats Samil, but I don't think its going to happen. Samil by UD. Yes, you are right. I just wish well to Maskaev and I hope he has a fight of the year with Samil Sam.

maskaev is one of the worst contenders in the HW division today. the guy has lost to kirk johnson, oliver mccall, david tua, corey sanders, and lance whitaker. his only noteworthy win was a KO victory over fellow loser hasim rahman. i dont care how much skill or power maskaev has. hes in his mid-late 30s, hes got one of the worst chins in boxing today, and he loses to B and C grade fighters. maskaev had his chances and he was KOd in all of them. sam by mid-round KO. that's all in the past; under the new management, Maskaev is a good opponent to about anyone

Good luck to Oleg. I hope he gets a title shot.

Third round KO for Sam. Maskaev has a scrub like chin.
