I hope he is correct,after that abysmal performance in his last fight. I cannot stand Maskaev due to his constant procrastination of this fight.

you were meant to do that against mccline
i do hope he wins though
I'll be rooting for Peter, but he must show more determination and will.

he was exposed against wlad.
even if he dominates maskaev it tells us nothing.
Not really, Maskaev is only slightly taller than Peter and weighs at least 10 lbs less.
Plus he's demonstrated on several occasions that he is more than capable of being blown away with one or two power shots.
Oliver McCall blasted him out inside a round, Lance Whittaker and Kirk Johnson both took him out early and Tua also stopped him albiet late.
Corey Sanders knocked him out and then went on to lose his next 7 in a row.
Maskaev was the luckiest heavyweight around to even get another title shot against Rahman, I mean he had done absolutely nothing.
Since then he's managed one title defense, against a fighter that I doubt even El Gamo would have heard of, and it still went 12 rounds.
If Peter doesn't get him out of there inside 5 rounds then he's no longer to be considered a top 5 heavyweight in my opinion.
maskaev will put up the best performance of his life in this fight! He knows that if he doesnt its over for him and will have no choice but to retire. I think that this fight will be harder for peter than he expects. I wouldnt be surprised if he loses.
If Peter comes in about 245 he's going to cruise over Maskaev. But if he's 255+ it will be tough if not a losing effort. Peter has the tendency to be lazy (as evidenced by being 6' tall and weighing as much as he does) in training, but I think he'll be more focused for this fight than he was for Toney II, especially how bad he looked in his last outing.
