Oleg Maskaev Ready To Become A Nigerian's Nightmare

[!! Mr. Soprano]

I think Maskaev gets stopped within 4 rounds. Peter is a big strong heavy & seems to have learned alot from his 2 fights with Toney. Peter can take a damn good punch but you can't say the same for Maskaev. I can't wait to see his reaction after Peter catches him with a semi clean punch.

Same offer is extended to you..

Maskaev is a stationary target, with a suspect chin. Peter hits hard, and has a much better chin. You and I both know the fight will be fought in a phone booth, and the only person who might actually box is Peter.

It's just a terrible, terrible matchup for Maskaev.

yea,,,,I agree that peter has a much better chin and does stop maskeav but I just dont think it will be as easy and quick as many think. I dont think maskeavs chin is as bad as it was. most of his knockout losses came in succession after that kirk johnson fight when he lost his confidence. we'll see soon enough

I agree. I think peter gets him in the 8th. I think maskeav has enough experience to hang with peter early on. eventually peter's tremendous physical strength will do maskeav in. peter is powerful but not a guy that blows quality or even semi quality opponents out early

peter doesnt just have power though, he can box and use his jab, he learned alot from the toney fights i think

Peter can box?

I saw quite a few of his fights and the first time I saw him throwing more than one punch at the time was in his last fight with Toney. I guess you can call that an ability to box.

GL: Do you think this fight will go the distance?

OM: "No idea, I'm not an expert and I don't know what's going to happen. It can go the distance or it can be short and stopped in a couple of rounds. I'm going to tell you something, the heavyweight division today is very seldom that a couple of strong guys can stand there and fight for all twelve rounds."

But you are a boxer in a boxing business and you been long enought to know

I don't see why so many people think peter is going to walk through maskaev, the only fighter of any note that he has stopped is jeremy williams.

because people are morons and don't realize that Samuel Peters got a gift decision against a fat lazy James Toney in their first fight. Samuel Peters should already have 2 losses on his record but got a gift decision in their first encounter. And James Toney isn't even a natural heavy-weight. And in the rematch james toney came into the fight in ridiculous bad shape, and Samuel Peters kicked the crap out of him.

How does that make him a good boxer?

[Thunder Lips]

I've said this since the fight was in talks a while ago and I'm going to stick with it. Oleg by decision. I think he's grown into a tough smart fighter and Peter is going to be sloppy and over aggressive as always. People really look too much into this "chin" thing, which isn't exactly a measureable science to begin with. I will say that Peter has youth, speed and power on his side, and that will be difficult too overcome. Peter is a fighter of great ability but after the last two Toney fights(yeah, I wasn't that convinced by the second one), I'm not sure he's put it all together yet. But I don't see this being a massacre on either side.
