Sam vs. Maskaev - live commentary by The Anorak

[Guest]

Maskaev's got bad nerves, he's gulping hard during the anthems, the lot. Sam's a much underrated boxer and I pick him to take this.

Tentative but effective start from Maskaev as he feels out his man. Sam seems to be trying to force a slug match (last twenty seconds are all-out, with Maskaev losing his footing slightly which may have cost him the round) but Oleg has a clear superiority in handspeed and power.

10-9 Maskaev on my card.

maskaev has been known for his power, skill, and his horrendously weak chin.

basically, hes like andrew golota with a bad chin and a win over rahman.

Not to sway too much from this topic but I don't believe Golota had a weak chin, he has a weak mind.

Sam warned for (unintentionally, I feel) hitting behind (at the side, really) of the head just before the bell.

Again, Maskaev edged this one for me - they're close rounds - but by wilfully allowing Samil Sam to back him up and give up ring centre for the majority of the rounds he'll be getting no favours from the judges.

Yeah, I know people who know him and they all say the same thing. They say when he gets excited, he loses it.

Sam has one of the best - and most simplistic - defences I've seen, so it's to Maskaev's credit he's penetrating it with regularity and rocked Sam at least three times.

Sam has the power to trouble Maskaev, but I think Oleg will score the KO in the next three rounds. 10-9 Maskaev.

I must have misunderstood your comments. My bad.
