Good luck Jirov!!!

[phallus]

Don't get me wrong I love Vassily Jirov, he is probably my favorite fighter too watch, however I hate to break it too you he will fall short of becoming a true heavyweight champ. Could he possibly outpoint Byrd, yeah...maybe even beat Ruiz, maybe but he gets hit by everything even the kitchen sink. His fights with Toney and Mesi have probably dwindled his skills down even more. He is a face first fighter that has zero defense, MEsi was killing him for nearly the entire fight...I have seen Jirov fight twice live, once against Julina LEtterlough(JL had Jirov hurt) and the other against Jorge Castro...I wish he would have stayed a cruiserweight because it is only a matter of time before he takes another serious beating, and another and another at HW.

I love Jirov though, there is no one in the division that I will root for more than him!

Sloppy Joe Messy hit Jirov with everyhting he had and couldn't knock him out, Jirov hit Messy with everything he had and ended his career ( gave him a subdural hematoma - bleeding on the brain ). True, Jirov takes too many shots, but he's tough, he could easily outpoint Byrd and Ruiz, though i don't think he has the skills to get inside on Vitali - where he needs to be to win that fight, hopefully i'm wrong about this. as long as Jirov isn't facing someone with Toney's skills, i think he'll do alright. i'm looking forward to seeing him make Moorer lean back

Moorer can pull this one off. Jirov might just be too small to hurt Moorer.

And Moorer is too old...!

I know...I just don't think there are guarantees in the ring and just wanted to point out a positive for Moorer.

Moorer has a chance in this one. It will be entertaining to see. Moorer might be shot but we must consider he was KO'd by Tua on his last fight. I think Tua hits a lot harder than Jirov. This might be the slugfest type of war Moorer always did well fighting in... Meaning he might be able to exchange blows with Jirov and not be ko'd with one punch. It will be a slugfest between Moorer and Jirov no doubt about it.

Are you kidding me? Michael Moorer is a tomato can. He lays down for the 10 count faster than Michael Jackson can fondle an 8 year old.

If Jirov dosn't want to break a sweat he picked the right Michael.

Lets see Moorer has lost to Foreman, Holyfield, and Tua.. Not a bad list of fighters in my opinion. Who has Jirov lost to? Oh yes Jirov will break a sweat faster than Michael's Jackson's defense lawyer.

Jirov KO Moorer in 10 round!
I hope...

Moorer is in the best shape he has been in since he defeated Holyfield to win the Heavyweight Championship. In fact he is back with the same trainer that got him into shape for Holyfield.

Jirov is in trouble, he couldn't get past Mesi, and Moorer is a 2x Heavyweight Champion - and have you all forgotten that Moorer knocked out the 1st 29 fighters he faced?!

Jirov will win by late TKO! Moorer is so washed up!
