Rahman-Maskaev next: who wins this one?

[mokele]

Rahman but it might be close

If I were a betting man I would go with Rahman by late ko, but Maskaev's already beaten him once and has never lost a decision as a pro. Hence I think that if Maskaev can go the distance he will win. I've seen Oleg a few times, but I remember him best in a fight that he lost awhile ago to David Tua. He was doing fine, boxing from the outside when Tua finally caught him in the 11th round. Maybe it will happen again to Maskaev? I haven't seen him recently so I don't know.

From now on, I'm not betting against Rahman until I see the pre fight weigh in, damnit.

[75th]

If both fighters come in top form, then this fight could actually be pretty enjoyable.

I'd have to say Oleg catches him around the 9th though.

i havent seen many oleg fights...I am not positive about this but I believe I remember seeing him getting KO'd by an old ray mercer that was the last ive seen of him..

LOL Really? Not only do you specifically remember that it was Mercer, but that it was an "old Mercer."

Mercer never fought Maskaev.
