YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a huge step for heavyweights.
my thoughts: about the fight, its intriguing, both guys are similar in skill and very similar style, both beat bigger opponents by boxing from the outside but unlike spinks or other p4p fighters, they looked inpressive doing it.
- im beginning to like this warriors promotions thing, i like what theyve done with miranda, now these guys, kudos to warriors.
- i do not know who to favour here, probably chagaev. based solely on the fact he beat ruiz, and valuev, not drew with ray austin and beat balco briggs.
This will also force klitschko (or brewster if he pulls off the upset) to fight the winner, as the winner has a legitimate claim to the throne.
AWESOME NEWS!

Good news. This is a big step for the Heavyweight division.

Wow, what awesome news this is! This just made my week!!!

I give both fighters 'mad props' for putting it all down on the line and not taking an 'easy' fight as their first defense. This is just the fight that the hw division needs...

[Welter_Skelter]

Great News indeed!!!.. However Klitschko is still the KEY... Only through Him can anyone be the MAN... But this is a great 1st step..

OH!!! And I would just like to add.. **** Off Don King... !!!!

This is probably the best fight you can make excitement wise too. I think Chagaev wins by late TKO.

great news and real excitment to breathe some life in to the heavyweight division. Ibragamov to win by late stoppage

[Kball15]

ill take IBRAGIMOV in this one.

GREAT NEWS though!!!!

[RAESAAD]

Kudos to both of them.....they are showing tremendous heart making their first title defenses against each other.Should be a great fight too......I kind of favor Chagaev but this one is too close to call.

This is a dumb match. The only people interested in the outcome are living in Eastern Europe and most of them don't have enough money to pay for a ticket. Both of these guys should be lobbying for a big money fight with Klitschko. If they actually go through with this match, one of them may never get a chance at Klitschko.
