Which nation wears the crown at heavyweight .. Russia or Ukraine ??? Some potential match's ... Ibragimov vs Wlad Maskaev vs Vitali (Bidenko as late sub if Vitali doenst make it through camp!!) Valuev vs Dimitrenko Povetkin vs Virchis Boytsov vs Platov Now, that would be a good heavyweight card !! How about throwing a Team USA into the mix ??!!! Thompson Briggs Chambers Rahman McCall .. what a bunch of misfits !!!
My mistake, meant to put Ibragimov .... who technically isnt Russian either, but parading himself as one. As Maskaev, but you get the point.
The Russians would poison the Ukrainians to try to win, and the Ukrainians would miss the bus to the arena.....
Its payback time motherf***ers...Im only joking. But Ukrainians would win this one: Wlad KO 6 Ibragimov Vitali KO 6 Maskaev, Bidenko UD over Maskaev Dimitrenko UD over Valuev Virchis KO 10 Povetkin Platov KO 5 Boytsov 5-0 Ukraine:Russia
Interesting thread! I'd give Ukraine the edge over Russia too. But I think you should change the matchups: Dimitrenko vs Povetkin and Virchis vs Valuev would be better IMO.
Sultan wont go the full route with Wlad.Wlad by late stoppage. Valuev vs Dimitrenko? Could go either way.I for my part tend to think that Dimitrenko has the better jab so that he would probably win a close point decision. Povetkin vs Virchis? Easy pick! Povetkin by either a wide point decision or a stoppage victory. Virchis is no match for the Russian masterboxer.Of course the huge Ukranian has puncher's chance against any present fellow heavy. Boytsov vs Platov? Difficult pick! At this point of their career Platov must be favoured over the young Russian.All the same I would bet my money on Boytsov.
Povetkin is just 100 times technically better than Virchis, and I beleive would be able to avoid Virchis landing clean. If Virchis lands clean, he can Ko anybody.
wow...they should have this card at Luzhniki stadium during the summer, that would be the bomb!!! Ibragimov KO Vitali KO Valuev KO Virchis KO or Povetkin UD Platov wins....Boytsov will never step up
