    Did any of you notice how excited Lewis became when he saw Maskaev pounding Rahman? When the ref called the fight over Lewis was practically cheering for Maskaev. I wonder if that has anything to do with cheering for Euro's or his dislike for Rahman.

    BTW Rahman was in shape for this fight. He was in better shape for this fight than their last meeting in 1999.

      Does anyone remember if HBO used that Super Slow mo feature?

      Was wondering if it was something they tried a few weeks ago, or if it will be a regular feature...

        It was sloppy the whole way with too much holding on both their parts.

        Slow sloppy punches.
        Yeah, it was the 12th round in a HW fight with a lot of really hard punches thrown throughout. If Toney had stopped Rock like that you'd have a new sig about it, and would have posted the video of it by now. LOL Oleg did it, so "he looked like ****" and "wasn't impressive."

        Sure, the punches got sloppier as they both got tired- they were trying to seriously KO each other for most of the fight, what do you expect from HW's trying to KO each other for 12 rounds? I think you're the only person across all boxing message boards who was not on some level impressed with that kind of performance from a 37 year old Maskaev. He was dead tired in that last round and just wouldn't stop. Like I said before, that kind of will and determination is refreshing to see in HW boxing these days.

          It was a sloppy show case of uncordinated plodding that's indicative of how poor the talent pool at Heavyweight is right now.

          If that was Friday night fights, and these were two fringe contenders (not too far off), this may have been more entertaining.

          But as it was, it was a $50 PPV Heavyweight title fight, and that's just sad.

          I don't agree with your glorifying it. Deal with it and move on.

            ...Great post, and for a guy who talks about how bad the heavies are I'm surprised he even bothered to watch the clip. Your 100% right about him having a GIF up instantly if Rahman had KO'd Oleg.

              Unlike you, I watch every fight I can.

              Not like you claiming Mosley was drunk a day before he fought Vargas and then admitting you had no interest in watching it.

              As usual, you post exclusivly out of hurt feelings. I told you in your own thread I didn't care who won.

                He could if he could land. But I think to beat Wlad you have to be fast, and Oleg looked slow to me

                  ...You may not have cared but you would have still posted the GIF to take a shot at the white guy who lost and also to take a shot at the Eastern Euro supporters. Try and deny it. Did you even see the whole fight? Sounds like you are judging it solely based on the 12th round.

                    You're a waste. Everytime you're in the boxing forum (which is very rare) you're posting about a Klitschko or bitching about something Heavyweight related.

                    I saw the entire fight and discussed it afterwards with many different people on here.

                    I haven't posted video right after a fight in some time, because I watch at a bar or on a free stream that I can't capture, and wait for the ******* site to have a full version the next day.

                    But it's not like any of that changes the fact it couldn't be anymore ironic the 42 year old man child who's been banned for being racist in the past is trying to accuse me of being racist.

                    Got any good racist jokes? Or have you been told to lay off with those?
