Who ya got? 'Big Daddy' Browne w/ his potent right hand? Or 'White Tyson' Chagaev with his aggressive southpaw hands and solid chin? At the minimum, besides his fight w/ 7' Julius Long, where Browne broke his right hand in the first round, and was restricted to only his left really, I can say Browne has had a lot of entertaining bouts, you can always feel the KO is coming. He's not refined, he's not slick, he just plods on forward. But he's a good watch if you wanna see a KO, and he's done EXTREMELY well for himself considering how far he's come when you realise he made his pro debut at 30 and never had an amateur career. It should be a good, solid HW matchup, where I see Chagaev boxing to a UD. But Browne always has that right hand sitting ready.
Browne by KO. Chagaev is past prime since ages. Pianeta maked him looked good, put Pianeta is a loser. :deal
I really don't hold much hope for Browne tbh, but I'd accept he could surprise me. He's made it this far just being a tough cnut so you never know.
Chagaev may be old and past his best but he's only 6 months older than Browne and he's by far the more skilled fighter. Even a faded Chagaev is a level above the crude Browne. Browne of course has a punchers chance and his seemingly decent chin will keep him in the fight. But I see Chagaev outclassing Browne.
Thsi talk about Chagaev being shot is bullocks,I saw almost all his past 4 years fights,only in first he looked shot but he regained his mojo and produced good showings.He isn't like he was but still can beat some young prospects,contenders and Wilder.He would beat Rivas,Washington and Breazele with ease.He would beat Takam easy,Pulev fight is more even but he can beat him too.
Chagaev fans are deluding themselves, the Pianeta win was but a mirage, also Pianeta is garbage. Ooooh noooo Browne looked bad against a 7 foot tall giant when he had a broken right hand, his main weapon, most fighters would under those circumstances, so he knocked him out cold with the left. Browne will walk Chagaev down and batter him into submission his corner will throw the towel in by the 8th.
I think were going to see the best Browne we've ever seen... I thought the Tua victory was impressive, But this one will be even more impressive. Lucas Browne has arrived!:bbb
Honestly man, Tua is still a diamond in the rough....... I would bet right now Tua would knock out the similar sized Chagaev out cold.....
Browne said he will fight against Chagaev like against Welliver,terrible tactics if he fights like in that fight.He is no Klitschko who can box comfortably on the outside and actually outbox Chagaev.He can't hurt him with that tactics,his only chance is to rough Chagaev up on the inside.
