Good news for Lucas Browne.

Chagaev needs to be careful, Lucas can punch hard.

Browne will get his shot now but even an old washed up Chagaev will blast him out like he did to Pianeta. Browne is slow & has been a protected fighter. Sure he has a nice record against washed up HWs & a few journeymen but his power is definitely overrated. Who has he knocked out or hurt in the division that has a good chin? Washed up & fat James Toney could still go 12 with him. This guy cuts easy & has beaten nobody. I don't know where people get this idea he is a big puncher. Who of note has he knocked out? He has KO wins over Jason Gavern,Travis Walker & Eric martel Bahoeli. None of those guys have sturdy beards. Welliver retired in the 5th but weighed 304lbs. It took him 9 rounds to beat Julius Long. Fat & old Toney went 12 & so did Rudenko (who got knocked down by Hughie Fury). I have over half his fights & he has given me no indication he can take a big HW punch nor has he proven his power is for real. A total hype job who has a few wins over a couple name fighters past their best days. Even this version of Chagaev will expose him...

I think Browne is durable enough to withstand Chagaev's power, but he definitely lacks the boxing skills to go toe-to-toe for 12 rounds. He will land the odd shot, but I expect Chagaev to win by lopsided UD.

That's quite a rant, do you have a personal vendetta against him? I think he has a chance against Chagaev, Browne can **** we'll see I guess.

chagaev is well past it but shouldnt have too big a problem getting past browne. browne's a strong tough guy but doesnt have the speed or boxing ability imo

Chagaev was a very underrated fighter in his prime but he's had health problems for years.

Browne is terrible, a stockier slower Wilder with those loaded up winging cartoon punches.

It's sometimes sad to see the vastly superior fighter physically overwhelmed by a crude yet fresh opponent/

I think Chagaev will KO Lucas Browne give it maybe 6 rounds onwards that's my prediction, Lucas can **** but he has a terrible engine on him and I believe that will be exploited to its fullest.

Lucas Browne is the worst fighter I've ever seen reach any kind of notability in boxing.

I watched his last fight with julius long, and it was absolutely abysmal. If Long had better stamina he would have won that fight, because whenever he was employing his jab with any kind of regularity Browne was totally clueless.

Its like they got the bouncer from the local pub, gave him 6 months of training and chucked him in there. He's big and he's strong. Thats it. Obviously he hits hard but he's shown nothing to indicate that his power is something to fear at the top level.

Browne has heavy Hands but he lacks Speed and skill to put it down on a decent Opponent. I think Chaggy is still to much for him to handle. But still a interesting fight, much more interesting than Chagaev vs. Oquendo 2. That fight would have been another snoozer.
