The Night of Rematches in Germany
July 5th in Hannover: Chagaev-Valuev and Sturm-Griffin.
That's actually not a bad card, seeing as the fights were competitive the first time round. I think Sturm will take this one without too many problems - he looked good against Pittman, but then again I didnt think he would have any problems with Griffin in the first place.
Also, I think Valuev might edge this one, although I am by no means sure of that. If he can just stay active - jab, jab, jab! - he should win, but considering how awkward Valuev is to fight against, Chagaev did a lot of things right in the first fight. Anyway, I'd like to see Valuev take this one, settinghim up for a megafight (no pun intended) against Wlad. Surely Wlad will beat him, but it is a fight that will make people (casual and even non-boxing fans) take notice, and when was the last time that happened with a HW fight? But first Valuev needs to prove himself against Chagaev, and that itself might be difficult...

sturm will take griffin apart second time around
think he took randy for granted in the 1st fight. He`ll know better second time around and stop him mid way through the contest.
As for valuev-chagaev:
Am probably one of the few who`s looking forward to seeing this a second time, Chagaev is one of the few men who has actually worked out how to neutralise a 7foot opponent and fight them on the inside.
I see valuev stopping him this time as i think he has added more to his game than just pawing that left jab and defending with that right forearm every time an opponent comes in.
