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
That safety thing is BS. Extra padding is very hard on the legs for some fighters, Maskaev might be hoping Rahman gets tired again
In their first fight, Rahman was knocked COMPLETELY out of the ring next to Jim Lampley. Maskaev wants padding OUTSIDE the ring
