Actually the last time Wladimir faced someone as big as Ray he humiliated Jameel McCline for 10 rounds finally dropping "Big Nervous" McCline and stopping the fight.

I could see Wladimir looking past Austin but Ray doesn't have the power to take advantage of that....or the chin to weather the storm of Wlad's power punches.

No doubt Wlad wanted Maskaev but he'll come to win vs Ray and I see a HUGE KO in Ray Austin's future....just be sure to remind him about it once he wakes up
