As for the Chagaev Pianeta fight....wow.....huge step forward for Chagaev as opposed to Browne or Oquendo. Not gonna be an easy one for Chaggy. Sadly, looks like he's one and done with his WBA minor title. Pianeta will plant the R hook around Chaggy's gaurd and hurt him early and often. And his longer, and sadly, faster lead L will drop the sturdy Chagaev and probably put him down for a 10 ct. Chaggys gonna have to get up in Pianeta's chest and fight hard for 12 rds to win this fight. He will lose every second of every rd that he is not inside holding and hitting. Bad move by team Chagaev. He should have sought out the Browne fight where he could have used his inside ability to stifle Brownes size and weak outside attack. :huh
Johnson always talks like that when he's brought in to fight a prospect. We all know that he will show up to survive and take as little damage as possible, I think he'll go the distance. Possibly might be the victim of a British stoppage though.
Yeah I know. He told the press before his fight vs Chisora that it was Ali-Frazier all over again. They say Johnson has been training extremely hard for this one, but I think he will try to survive. However, I believe Joshua has got the power to knock him out.
Taishan dong beat Jamal Woods via Md.From what I read Taishan lost the first round.And I scored it 2 to 1 for Dong for the remaining rounds.In the end it was a draw in my view.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvi03LZizY8.
Taishan on his win:"I feel really thrilled to be representing the millions of people in China today especially on one of the most attended cards of the year," Taishan said. "I feel like my opponent had more experience than I do but that doesn't mean he was more skillful. Today, my strength, reach and powerful jab was what got me the win."
