Maskaev fighting in Dec. and NOT against Peter

[BoxingGorilla]

Why would a US citizen choose to fight in Moscow? Is the money really better there these days?

Its funny, when they were calling his match against Rahman the last line of defense, Masaev proclaimed how American he was, but once he wins the belt his first diffence is in Russia.

Good point, Lancey boy.

I wish Evander was fight Maskaev in Russia. !

" and new Heavyweight champion of the World " from Atlanta Georgia !

[DaxxKahn]

I guess he would like one successful defense under his belt before he loses it?

Would anybody be surprise if he lost in his first defense?

lol no but....I guess there is a rule about defending the belt against 13 year old novice amatuers so this is the weakest they could come up with

[Lance Uppercut]

He says he will fight someone in the Top 12 in Moscow

That probably means he will fight either the 11th or 12th ranked WBC Heavyweight

11) Peter Okhello (Uganda)
12) Henry Akinwande (GB)

Fightnews reports that he will likely fight Peter Okhello

can't really blame the man. now can we? The asshole promoters go ahead and bill the card " Americas last line of Defense." against Maskaev's wishes. ! which I personally thinks is completely wrong , then Oleg walks into a stadium and have everyone boo at him . He have to deal with all the B.S. at the press conference with Rahman's people yelling degrading remarks about his country where he is from ! I got to tell you, If I was Oleg I would fight exclusively in Moscow, and tell everyone ! “Hey you want the fucking title come get it !” anyway that’s my opinion !

Well Okhello OBVIOUSLY deserves the fight...I mean he beat Bob Mivoric and "barely" ( ) lost to Sinan Samil Sam.

He's going to be a damn tough fight








How does Don King get away with such bullcrap?

[El Kabong]

Ummm no one else is outraged?

[Purist]

Ummm no one else is outraged?

It's Maskaev...

I'd rather see him try to avenge the Lance Whitaker fight though

[El Kabong]

OK....well the fact is that he's 37 and here is his shot to get the big bucks and he's not taking the oppertunity. For all I know this Okhello guy could pull off the upset

When it comes to Don King, nothing surprises me any more so nothing upsets me about him or his fighters.
