Chagaev-Valuev II

[Jody Lane]

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...

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.

Valuev has improved his jab but he seems older and slower than normal. His fight with Holyfield was awful and if that Valuev shows up I can see Chagaev winning. I can also see Chagaev wanting to unify the title more than Nikolay would.
