I think it would be interesting! I think it should be made for late Oktober if both men have an easy work with their opponents tonight.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if he lost a decision to this guy? That could clear the way for Wlad to fight Chagaev to unify.
You're right, Steve O, that is ridiculous. I've often said that with the heavyweight division the way it is right now, anyone with a name and any skill should stay in at least decent shape at all times. You never know when an opportunity might come up.
It's good to see Tua being busy. This dude he's fighting is a a tomato can though. Tua by KO round 2.
I hope Rahman loses his fight tonite, the fight against Sykes was not worth watching at all. Sykes was a same guy that was killed by Peter rather easy, Rahman I think even got a little rocked in his fight against Sykes he should honestly consider retirement.
You are right about the Sykes/Rahman fight. I was in the crowd for that one and it was terrible. I would say that if Rahman is going to show no more motivation than that he should retire, but if he gets in shape and puts some more effort into it, he could get another nice payday or two.
Sorry to hear you payed for that, yeah I was happy to Rahman back in the ring again until I seen the fight. The 2 things that kept me watching it on spike tv was the fact at one point it looked as if Sykes might knock him out, the other was the commentating on spike which was practically making fun of the fight the whole time, I laughed a couple times through the match at what they were saying. One of the guys commentating was as negative as Larry Merchant on a bad day.
Cerrone Fox is 8-5 with 3 KO's. What self-respecting boxing commission allowed this fight to take place? This is a horrible, horrible mismatch. This is how people get killed. :-(
The sad part of the story is Rahman or Tua could knock that glass jawed klitchko out. Why not throw Joe Mesi and Tommy Morrisson in there too?
I was in Rochester visiting a girlfriend that week so it the trip wasn't a total loss, but yeah, that fight was a big disappointment after paying good money for tickets. The undercard fight with Kid Diamond and Huerta was a good scrap, but the decision in that one was horrible. I am glad to hear that the announcers were critical of that poor performance. My girlfriend, who went to the fight with me, asked me at one point, "Are you sure this Rahman guy used to be the champion?"
