    You may be right - if Chagaev is as focused as he was the last time, his chances are very good.

    It will very likely be a close fight, so much will depend on how the judges see it.

      I think Valuev flips the script on this one but it will be close. He doesnt seem to have the power he should have for beign so big, he has to work on throwing his right hand more

        I'm rooting for Chagaev because he isn't a Don King fighter - Valuev is co-promoted by Sauerland and King.

        Not long ago King had none of the heavyweight titleholders. Now he has one (Sam Peter) - if Valuev wins he had two.

          This is a tough fight to predict....Valuev has improved since their first fight, he showed a god jab and some nice cominations in winning a dominant shutout UD over former WBO champ Lyakhovich....Chagaev didn't look that great against Skelton, but I lay the blame on the John Ruiz clone Skelton for his disgusting display of holding and hugging, he should've been disqualified...Chagaev was also coming off a long layoff and he looked rusty.

          This will be a close fight that goes the full 12 rounds...It could go either way...I will be rooting for Chagaev, but I won't be too upset if Valuev wins because that might setup a unification showdown between Wlad and Valuev, that would be a very intriguing fight.
