The Camden Buzzsaw (5'6 1/2) faces off against his biggest challenge yet in the towering Russian Giant (7'0). Can Qawi overcome the near half a metre in height he's giving away here? Who wins and why?
Qawi is many things but he has never been boring, it just isn't in his DNA. He's a warrior through and through imo.
Valuev doesn't hit hard for his size ... but he has endless amounts of size. I'd say he hits hard enough.
That would have to be the biggest height differential, or something very close to it, in a sanctioned pro fight. Can't imagine what it would look like when Qawi tries to land any head shot. Seems he wouldn't be able to get full power reaching up that high, and Valuev had a good chin to begin with. Seems a hopeless situation for him. Valuev by a never in doubt UD.
There is a chance only IF they increase the legal target area for Dwight - say, from the knee caps and above, unless I’ve miscalculated and it needs to be even lower than that.
Valuev was mediocre but Dwight looked like a beach ball when he fought at HW. Valuev will tie him up and push him off if he gets inside. Dwight might last the distance but he isn't coming anywhere close to winning.
North of LHW he had some stinkers See his fight with Ossie Ocassio. He followed Ossie around the ring and tried to make the fight but was hugely ineffective. It did appear he did enough to win but dropped the decision. This was between the two Holyfield fights and even though he lost he got the second fight with Holyfield.
He has the same reach as Marcelo Dominguez - pretty similar style as well.. and Marcelo didn't do that bad against Valuev, off memory.
