Yep, on November 4th in Krasnodar, Russia. :!: I honestly don't think Oleg is going to call it quits until Vitali does, officially and once and for all. Until that day, Maskaev will keep charging at the windmill and deluding himself that he will eventually get that crack at his old rival with years of taunting him over his first round stoppage victory in the amateurs finally paying off.
Can anyone think of a fighter brutally stopped, and mismanaged as Maskaev who really ended up making something of himself at heavyweight? I can think of smaller fighters who did it. Freddie Pendleton for example. But at heavyweight? Doesn't seem as forgiving as the lower weights when it comes to multiple chances at the big time :think
I wish Oleg all the best, and I hope that he can beat T-Rex this time. I remember seeing that fight on TV, and as I recall, Oleg was kicking his arse up until getting clobbered.
