Russian has become the mecca of terrible fights......they'll put anyone in the ring there.

maskaev is so slow now & gavern doesn't stay in the gym between fights anymore. at 245 he is way too big & is gassed after a few rounds. he was best in the 210-220 range. he has faded badly the last few years. he's had a good career. he's fought all over the world & made a good living in the sport as a fighter & pro sparring partner. i'd give gavern a chance 3 years ago...

Over the limit? Did Maskaev attempt to come in as a Cruiser? Haha
