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.
Dont know about a stoppage in 3 but Sam Peter should stop Maskaev around the half way mark.
I'll be happy if Maskaev can make it to the ring with hurting his back.
This really has the smell of a shoot out.Both have shown there fondness for the canvas.Maskaev just looks soooo hittable and beatable but somehow he pulls Out the wins...........Or gets KTFO In career.
Peter better "Box" him.Wonder how gun shy He will be.
Peter better come out swinging because Oleg can box. If Oleg doesn't get tired he can win by KO or UD...so Sam better put the pressure on him early and keep it on him hoping Oleg will wilt.
...this fight would have been more intresting if Vitali was back in action and taking on the winner
