Chagaev-Valuev II

[JohnnyKickAss]

Normally I would have said the fight will be the same as the first one,but Valuev seems to have rediscovered the jab in his last fight...That could be the key for beating Chagaev...But Chagaev will probably pull this off again...

Valuev by dec. or late stoppage. I say that with confidence in light of progress made and displayed in the fight with liakhovich. An even more polished Valuev comes out well trained looking to get revenge and his strap back. Chagaev feels the bang early and often is a second fight.. i wouldn't be surprised to see his ass kiss the mat this time around. Niko for sure in this one.. A man on a mission.

This will set up A COLOSSAL SHOWDOWN WITH KLITSCHKO!!!

I will say that a fight between Valuev and Wlad would be a bigger sell than Wlad vs Chagaev...simply because it would have a freakshow effect and Wlad would EASILY KO Valuev

I agree that a Valuev Wlad showdown commercially would probably be the biggest heavyweight fight right now.

I hope Valuev beats Chagaev and gets that fight. It would interest me.

'An even more polished Valuev . . .' you say! It's hard to conceive he could be even more polished, supple and silky smooth than he was against Lyakhovich.

I think Chagaev takes it again, from there I hope he targets Wlad! Failing that I think Peter would be the next best option.

I don't wanna see Valuev get outboxed again, I want to see that giant bastard knocked out for trying to beat Marcianos record.

Only thing that I can see Valuev discovered recently is that he needs lousy judges to keep from loosing his belt to a 46 year old washed up fighter.

Well...if you look at the date of this post you will see thats it an older one...and that I was refering to Valuevs fight against Lyakhovich in which he indeed used the jab very well...

Yeah hard to believe it's taken this long for the rematch to happen, I know Chagaev got injured and all but seriously Nicolay couldn't have tried to fight somebody other than Evander Holyfield and John Ruiz who barely BARELY lost to him.

The junior circuit of the heavyweight division (AKA The WBA) really needs to be shuffled up....that was MY hope for David Haye, but alas he's going to get his ass whupped by Wlad and never be the same ever again...maybe Vitali can get the winner of this bout before he has to fight another mandatory, that's our only hope now

Well, from my side, I think that Chagaev is by far a better fighter than Nikolai...So I hope he will prove it again and beat this giant.

Chagaev is really a good fighter, but he has nothing special...I mean, no sparks...yet h beats some big names, and convincingly compared to Nikolai (ie : Ruiz).

The same Chagaev would probably beats Haye inside 3 rounds...Haye is not in the same league, compard their amateur background, Chagaev beat the great Felix Savon fyi. Hayes get demolished by Solis. (comparing, same opposition).

I'm yet surprised some of you praised Rigondaux based on his amateur background, yet he looked like shit the other nite, and now just praised some giant to crush a true boxer :-)

I'd like to see Valuev get KTFO'ed, and it seems Vlad would be the man to do it. Far as I'm concerned, Valuev is more of a circus-type curiousity. If he had any skills at all, with his size, he'd have won 100 fights by now, maybe even fighting two mere mortals at the same time.
