I don't think half a year will make change.And I don't think it would happen sooner.But there is a big chance it will not happen at all.They are stabelmates.
I didn't realize until now that Chagaev/Pianeta is in Germany. Does Chagaev have enough left to win this in his opponent's territory? Interesting matchup; both guys are southpaw. Given that Pianeta will have the crowd and likely the ref on his side, this is close to a 50/50 fight.
Actualy,he is well known in Germany.I don't think Pianeta has edge in judging,I think no one has it. I think Chagaev will defeat him convincingly.Did someone saw Bacurin fight?He struggled with Bacurin,and in my opinion he lost that fight.I don't think he will go toe to toe with Chagaev,too damaged at this point,he wasn't impressive in return fight against Teuber,just average.And he lost almost all his shape from Wladimir fight,if we watch his fight against Teuber.250 pounds in his fight against Teuber and 251 in his last fight against Viera.For instance Chagaev weighed 246 pounds against Oquendo and 243 against Sheppard.I think Chagaev will come in lighter out of two. P.S.Watch Pianeta against Botha,he was struggling at times with out of shape Botha.And scores was closer than official ones.Before this fight,I thought Pianeta will destroy him,same with Mccall but it never happened.
Looks like Ustinov is gonna follow Wach's steps. Fight journeymen until some big name gives you a shot.
