Maskaev wants extra padding!!!

That is really good trash talking, quite funny.. But in other interviews I have heard, Oleg has not sounded as confident going in to this fight as it would seem here.. After all he is 37.. He has not fought a big name at all since being KOed by Kirk Johnson or Lance Whitaker, who are both mediocre.. It's also notable that even in their first fight Rahman was outboxing him relatively easily up until he gassed out.. I just don't see this thing meaning squat in the Heavy's, I really don't.. Wlad would kill either imo, and if Toney got in decent shape at all even he could.. I think Peter Toney is a more significant fight, and that doesn't say a lot.

Maskaev wants extra padding!

Tuesday, August 1 2006


In their previous fight, in 1999, Oleg Maskaev knocked Hasim Rahman completely out of the ring en route to a knockout victory. Because of their concern for Rahman's safety, Dennis Rappaport, with the Maskaev camp said yesterday that Maskaev is planning to petition the Nevada State Athletic Commission for extra padding on the arena floor around the ring to cushion the blow to Rahman's head when he is re-launched down and out
