A little suprised at Lampley's comments, especially considering that Maskaev went limping in there with a bad lower back (during the actual fight I told my brother that Maskaev was walking like he just had a vasectomy) and handed Rahman an unquestionable ass whooping.

Bear in mind, I am not a big Oleg Maskaev fan but that fight was exciting and Oleg was very rugged in there, he showed a lot of heart.

Nice article. I really don't like that "last line of defense" crap they were saying with Rahman. Does anyone really care that people of Russian descent hold the belts? Seems pretty ignorant that a lot of people are making such a big deal about "America" getting the belts back. That crap Hopkins was saying to about thinking about coming out of retirement to "Bring back the glory to America" aka bring added glory to his wallet..

I can see why Maskaev said he was a bit annoyed by that.

But maybe we all should be concerned...

THE BIG BAD RUSSIANS HAVE THE BELTS...COMMUNISM MUSNT WIN!

Honestly I believe that Oleg can beat Wlad cuz he has boxing skill & power, Wlad's chin is a lil' glassy & will fold if Oleg can get in a couple of good shots

Oleg doesn't have a great chin himself and Wlad is 10X the boxer, he would pummel him as would any other the other champs imo... Maskaev is a very weak champ.
