Hasim Rahman vs Oleg Maskaev - FINAL PREDICTIONS

[AllEyesOpen]

I got alot of respect for Rahman, he's one of my favorite HW right now, & I know he has the skills to beat Maskaev, but I just have this gut feeling he's gonna lose this fight, I don't know why & I hope he doesn't, but gotta listen to the gut.

[PATO 1]

Rahman dominates an stops him in under 7rounds

[RAESAAD]

I like the Rock by late Stoppage or UD.

[cold]

Maskaev wins- this time by decision. Maskaev wins

[Boxing4Real]

rahman wins by tko or ko
within 8

[BigmoneyMikes]

Rahman by UD. but i'm hoping for a Oleg TKO, since his a local NY fighter.

I think rock has improved since his last fight with Maskaev. I thought he was winning the last fight and he looked sloppy. His jab was good, but he was telegraphing his right badly. As long as he stays outside and sticks with the jab I think he will win fairly easily. 116-112 sounds about right.

[TheEvilSaint]

this is a lose/lose situation for the HW division. if rahman wins, whoop dee doo, he beat some guy who beat him. if maskaev wins, that just adds more humiliation and confusion to the HW picture.

regardless of which fighter wins, the winner will NOT be considered "the man" in the HW division.

i think rahman's gonna win, but i want maskaev to win, just because i hate rahman so much.

[Kid Achilles]

It happened later in the fight than I thought it would but Maskaev took him out.

[Boxing4Real]

I was wrong, I admit it. Maskaev got lucky I still believe, but he was there to get lucky so the win is totally legit.

If only they had done Toney right the first time and not robbed him against Rahman this wouldn't even matter. All new low for the heavyweight division.

David Tua, you fat tub of ****, get your act together. This division (excluding Toney) is yours for the taking. Too bad Tua would never actually dream of getting his **** together.

I know a lot of people are happy about this [Maskaev win] for all the wrong reasons. Not everyone, but those who are, you know who you are.

To the people that somehow actually give a **** about Oleg Maskaev for a reason other than his skin color, cong****.
