    Browne beats the shot to **** Chagaev easily.

    Browne should beat Chagaev at this point but I refuse to call either of these men champ.

    And he signed to unify against Ibragimov right after he got the belt. Too bad he fell out, though I was picking Iggy to win in a close fight.

    Not a bad fight, undeserved title involved aside. I think I'd pick Chagaev but its a pretty even match up at this point.

    Chagaev is way past his best and may have trouble with such a big strong guy at this point in his career.

    But, Chagaev is still levels above Browne in skill and experience. I'd favor Chagaev here. Chagaev by decision.

    I am interested in this one tbh. **** title like but could put Browne in the world picture.

    I think Browne could fight to a decision win.

    Home advantage would be a massive help.

    I'm wondering if Chagaev is going to play the role of Jerry Quarry to one of these up and comer's role of Mac Foster.

    Chagaev once a decent fighter, now a grandad. Not worth the time. Lucas Browne crude but powerful. Gl to them

    Chagaev took lots of mean shots from Povetkin...

    Kinda shots that decapitated guys like Charr and Takam among others!!

    Lucas Browne knocked Travis Walker down 3 times, won every round and finished the fight by making Walker quit on his stool. Not enough for you?

    Chagaev looked like he was far from his best against Oquendo. I think his fights against Povetkin and Klitschko probably took a toll on him.


    I can see why most people are writing him off but I'll wait and see. I want to see some video of him training for Browne but that can only show us so much.:boxx

    Browne dominated Walker and all 3 judges awarded him every round :

    Browne remains undefeated. Made Walker quit on his stool and sat him on his pants 3 times along the way. Dominant win against reasonable level opposition.

    Nobody is claiming Browne is the best heavyweight in the world. But he hits hard and has a puncher's chance or better against most in the division.
