    If Rahman is in as bad of shape as I've heard, the hardcore **** from India will be more entertaining. But if Sykes wins an upset, it would be kind of interesting though. Or, who knows, maybe the reports about Rahman's being out of shape are false...

      He has the jab and power to beat any heavy out there, but he's too dumb.

        I've found the fight on the internet. Rahman is overweight, he seems slower than normal. First round looked even. Sykes won the second round with some body punches. Rahman wins the third round. Sykes hurt Rahman in the fourth round! But Sykes now rocked by Rahman, and Taurus seems gassed.

            They're moving slow and they both look tired already. Even fight so far.

            Rahman looks like a fat middle-aged man, not a pro boxer. This is not an entertaining fight. Sykes won round six, Rahman even spit out his mouthpiece to get a rest.

            Seventh round even. This is not an entertaining fight, they are both in bad shape. Round eight about even.

            Low blow by Sykes. Rahman doing better now, Sykes got knocked down. Rahman easily wins 9th round.

            Rahman is going to win this...

              lol,,,,rahman has never been a big knockout puncher. he threw the best right hand of his life against an overconfident lewis that caught him flush on the chin bouncing off the ropes. ever since then people that dont know much about boxing make him out to be the puncher he's not

                It is now certain, Rahman will never win another title. He came away with a UD but didn't look good doing it.

                  I think he might win a fringe belt at some point, remember the heavyweight division sucks. If Rahman got in great shape he might be able to beat one of the champions, I wouldn't count him out completley.

                    I agree he would have to get down to 235 to be at his best, or somewhere around that weight.

                      I agree. Rahman looked bad. I thought he had more power, but I was wrong. Terrible technique, horrible stamina...

                      It is over for him. Strike that, what I meant to say is that it should be over for him. He is still a name so one of the champions may fight him but they shouldn't.
