    Does the boxing of Maskaev prevail or does Cooper shatter his glass jaw?

    If we take them on their best nights then I’ll go with cooper to get a knockout win. But Cooper’s best was shorter lived than Maskaevs

    Agree. Cooper had the style and he was dangerous early.

    Maskaev, while competent boxer, was a slow fighter and a slow starter.

    There's a high possibility that Cooper catches him early, and Maskaev has never recovered from KD's.
