    Ivo is correct.

    Klitschkos sell out. HBO is not so smart. This is a huge fight and Chagaev is much better than Haye could ever dream of being.

    Atlas hates the Klitschkos to the extreme. Atlas picked Kirk Johnson to knock Vitali out! He is a jinx.

    Look at the statement of Universum (from Fightnews)
    "Here’s a statement from Universum Box-Promotion on the current state of the WBA heavyweight world championship. “We are waiting further for a decision and an official letter from the WBA. We’re not letting ourselves get worked up by tendential press releases without official confirmation.” — Klaus-Peter Kohl
    What TF is going on? Wasn't official the previous announcement of the WBA ??
    Their website doesn't mention anything
    Very complicated story!! :patsch

    I agree, I give Chagaev little chance here.

    But it will still be a valuable win for Wlad. He'll finally get that Ring championship belt. Hopefully he'll put on a destructive showing too.

    Actually, if anyone knows, how long have The Ring had this Champion thing going, where #1 vs #2 or 3 wins their recognition?

    I know it's been a while, it was there for Vitali vs Sanders in 2004 for instance, but when did it start? When Lewis #1 beat Holyfield #2 they did not make him Champion. Or when he beat #3 Grant next. It wasn't until he beat Rahman in 2001. Was that when they started it, in 2001, or were they just dragging their feet about Lewis?

    Yeah, Atlas has about as much hate for the Klitschko's as I do. Though your right, he should tone it down a bit, it's not very professional of him to talk **** on them while he's broadcasting one of their fights. Lewis hates the Klits, and he seems to give an unbias view point, which is nice.

    Naw, I'm not a big Hockey fan. How did you guess that?

    I doubt think they are friends. Dont qoute me on this, but I believe Lewis worked in the gym and tried showed Corrie Sanders how to beat Vitali when they fought in 04. I do Lewis upset with Vitali calling him out on the net and on a HBO broadcast while he was commentating that night.

    They might be cool with each other now, but there was some hate between them at one time.

    50% of Valuev = 100% of Ruiz

    I checked the TV listings on espn.com for 6/20 and I don't see this fight listed yet on ESPN Classic. Says they're showing a Holyfield fight from 1986.

    I'm sure it will take a few days to update. My guide doesn't even go that far yet, it will only let me see to the 19th.
