    Huh? Who was the guy who called Maskaev a major ***** from the USSR, and other insults?

    Rahman almost got a ringside seat twice in the 12th round in the rematch? LOl at the screams at 2:38 when he almost went into the crowd.

    After the first crushing knock out which almost landed on Roy Jones. Why was there a small riot?

    Both were big punchers with shaky chins BUT Oleg had much better technical skills.

    What im still wondering is how the **** did Hasim get a title shot vs. Wlad? That was such a unnecessary fight.

    Povetkin pulled out with a leg injury and Rahman was brought in with like 3-4 weeks notice.

    He was beating Oleg in the first fight and got tired cause he didn't train (like an idiot) and the second time around he was KILLING him with the jab...but went for the KO b/c he was stubborn.

    Big fan of Rahman, but man he got careless in some of the biggest fights of his career. Mainly those 2.

    Indeed, I was just about to type that. Not a bad opponent for such a short amount of time. Wlad fought Chagaev on a weeks notice when Haye claimed to hurt his back. Klitschko should of won the WBA title then.

    I wondered this myself just one of those guys who has the other one's number I suppose. I remember that the rematch was a big joke of a title defense when it was announced. it was defended as a tuneup fight and for rahman to redeem himself for the first fight. making it ppv was just salt on the wound making the ko loss that much sweeter.

    I didn't see the whole fight, but heard it was a pretty good scrap.

    Killed by the jab? I dont see a single mark on Maskaev's face. I remember Maskaev fighting very careful and patient. Rahman was rocked by big a big punch in the begining of 12th round and could never recover. Going for the KO? Maskaev walked across the ring and dropped him after Rahman had the lose tape on his glove repaired. Maskaev went at him and hurt him. Maskaev went for the KO and got it.

    The full 12th round below.
