Chagaev Fighting Povetkin For The Regular WBA Belt

I like the idea, but seeing is believing.......:hey

Russ Chagaev and Al Pov only fight once every blue moon over Brooklyn...:shock:

MR.BILL:hat

 

Something made up so all the fighters who can't beat a Klitschko don't feel so bad about themselves.

 

This should be a great fight.

Neither fighter really gets your blood boiling, both are a little small, and both are too old for us to hope they eventually improve. However, pitted against each OTHER it should be a very entertaining bout.

Where the heck are all the large, early 20 y-o heavyweights?

 

There are quite a few in the amateurs all under 22 actually, all 6'5-6'7. Hrgovic, Dychko, Omarov, Yoka, Adelghani, Parker

Here is Hrgovic (Croatia) in the World Series of Boxing. He's 19 , 6'5 and must be at least 240. He won Gold at the Junior Olympics last year.

His opponent Kharitonov is 30, 6'4 250 and has been a top MMA HW since 2004, has fought in K1 kickboxing and as an amateur boxer won Silver at the Asian and Central Asian games and qualified to fight at the 2004 Olympics.

Good fight, IOM, Povetkin wins this one....

 

Go pov

 

Hell, at least a couple of top-10 HWs are actually fighting each other rather some tomato can or 'used-to-be'. I wish it happened more often.

 

that didn't take long

 

i have no interest in the stupid title.. but this fight is something i'd like to see. they're both the same size, so it should be a good one. that's if it happens of course.

 

Oh cool I'll finally get to see Povetkin in a real fight!

 

I heard Jean-Mark Mormeck and Hasim Rahman are fighting for the WBA interim title ...

 

Actually fights come off fast if you don't have a ducker as champion..:yep

 

Sasha should win this big. Chagaev has looked shop worn since Wlad beat on his skull for nine rounds. The only real downside is that criminal Atlas will have another champion and thus a modicum of leveraging ability in the division.

 

nice fight!
