No but is was a great ending. Both guys were gassed at about the 8th round but Oleg had a burst in the 11th and 12th.

By far the best heavyweight fight I have seen in years. Entire house was on their feet.

I agree... it was like watching old great HW fights... with gutty boxers throwing bombs all night long

Really? Im going to catch the replay most likely. The Sergei/Brewster fight was some good stuff. I was on my feet during that fight.

The biggest surprise of the whole fight to me was how good Oleg's chin held up. Rock clocked him with the first big right he threw in the first round and it did nothing.

in round 12 oleg looked as fierce as mike tyson was in the beginning rounds...

that's after the Russian guy told him (in Russian) " Do it for your Motherland and for your daughers !!!"

The last round had us all on our feet but the rest of the fight was like Oleg just missed with this shot, he just missed with that shot. It seemed like it was a matter of time before Oleg caught Rock but then it was the 12th round and it seemed too late. What a great second wind for Oleg.
