"I don't need any motivation except that incident in '99," said WBC heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman today, referring to the fight when he was spectacularly knocked out of the ring by Oleg Maskaev, whom he defends against on a big August 12 pay-per-view event. "I don't even seen that he's fought a world class fighter since he's fought me, continued the Rock, "But we'll see. I'm in real good shape and will prove it on August 12th but I'll tell you one thing, Top Rank won't have to make a difference in their plan. Whatever plans they have for me, we could just march right on because we're going to march right over Oleg Maskaev."
I dont know, Im not predicting anything for this fight, it could go either way, I favor rahman slightly but who knows...
It really is up in the air like you say.
Wonder what the odds are??
