Does Maskaev have a chance against Peter?

My personal prediction is Peter KO 1, Oleg's movement is just THAT bad at this point and his defence and chin are no better. It's well known that Oleg is extremely vulnerable to hooks, well, being that Peter throws monsterous hooks and that we have a slow target with a weak chin....

Who the hell would realistically pick Maskaev? This is about as certain as Klitschko vs. Austin was!:yep

 

i like oleg for the rahman beatdowns and cause he seems like a humble guy, but peter destroys him.

 

I say anywhere from 1 to 4

 

I don't expect Oleg to win, but he does have a small chance. Peter is vulnerable againt a good one two, and Maskaev does have that.

 

Good post. I agree that with Oleg being the better boxer/technician compared to Peter being limited & still somewhat raw, as long as Maskaev doesn't get careless, he should outpoint him.

 

In my last post, I thought about using the word "school" for what Oleg was gonna do to Sam, but I thought that might be a stretch. Maybe its not such a crazy prediction after all.

 

I would like to save this and bring it up on the 29th and then listen to more of your excuses because you are sure full of them.

 

We sure aren't in agreement this time. What is it about the Nigerian that makes him such a winner in your eyes?

OK. He did show a little more "boxer ability" in his last outing & he does get some power out of those haymakers he chucks...so what is it????


:huh

 

Iron chin and a good punch, developing abilities, strong as hell.

 

There are three major factors in this fight, ALL of which weigh heavily in Peter's favor - power, chin, and youth.

When you add to that that he has improved his boxing skills, this is a virtual NO WIN fight for Oleg. People picking him are not only going against basic logic, but the entire grain of boxing history.

A younger, powerpunching fighter almost always beats an older fighter with a suspect chin.

Peter's chances of winning this fight are well in the 95+ percent range. If Oleg were to win it is an upset of Buster Douglas proportions. Those don't happen very often, take my word for it. I've been following this sport for 30 years.

 

Ogel is a good boxer, i still think Peter is just a big puncher.

Im goin for Oleg via over the top rope KO

 

Maybe you guys are right. I just don't want to admit it.:think

 

Yes: If he pulls a gun.

 

Oleg gives him a lesson, plus one of those "Rahman Specials" through the ropes goodbye!

 

That's what I'm trying to tell ya, man. The whole of boxing history, logic and common sense tells you that this fight will be a blowout for Peter.

Younger, powerpunching HWs on the way up almost NEVER lose to aging fighters with suspect chins.

The Maskaev supporters are WAY overrating Oleg and WAY underrating Peter. I will be interested in what they have to say after Peter starches him. Probably something like "Oleg was shot anyway....":yep
