I knew Rahman was another joke of an opponent...

Here's a few more pics from the presser:

Vitali looks intense in that staredown.

Will see how much Vitali smiles when Rahman hits him...

We'll see how much Rahman smiles when Viltali knocks him down 6 times and doesnt tire...

[Bozo_no no]

Excuses started early this season........

Excuses for what?

Are you (predictably) building this up as a career win for Vitali?

The only reason this fight is even remotly tolerable is because it's a mandatory.

Maybe you missed Rahman struggling with Barrett and Al Cole.

...Truth, I know you don't like the Klits man, but do you really think Rahman can test Vitali?

[Bozo_no no]

Rahman's a horrible fighter.

They should have called this mandatory fight off based on his preformance in with Barrett.

You need to revisit your threads from a few month ago where you're saying that Vitali needs to step up to his competition... and where you're calling out Rahman numerous times...

[!! Mr. Soprano]

and now "Rahman's a horrible fighter."


OKAY

How's about you go and find those posts.

Because I've said since day one that this is a poor fight, and that the only reason I don't fault him for taking it is because his hand is forced because it's a mandatory.

There's nothing he can do about it.

That doesn't make Rahman a better opponent, it makes him a guy Vitali needs to get out of the way before he can fight other title holders.

As I've said every time this came up in the past, Rahman is John Ruiz's left overs.

In his last meaningful fight, Rahman was thoroughly and clearly outpointed by John Ruiz.

Again, did you even watch Rahman's fight with Barrett?

It was a disgrace.

It was only a year before that he struggled to beat Al Cole 96-94 in a ten round fight.

Now it's only tolerable?

Who the **** else is there?

It is weed they are having a stoner match. Havent you heard. They are doing it to in protest cuz they want it legal. The NBA has been doing it for years.
