Oleg Maskaev (at this point) - A young starter, Looking for a chance to shine Oliver McCall - already accomplished heavyweight, previously defeated Lennox Lewis.
Он завоевал пояс ,который Без боя достался Маскаефу,и сразу же потерял его в Бою с Питером,Удивительно но 38 лет Кличко вернулся после 4 лет простоя,и унизил Питера
1. Oleg Maskaev got knocked-out in 1st round by Oliver McCall (Feb 24, 1996). 2. John Ruiz got knocked-out in 1st round by David Tua (March 3, 1996). 3. Shannon Briggs got knocked-out in 3rd round by Darroll Wilson (March 3, 1996). ALL THREE men in 1996 later on in there respective careers became world heavyweight title champions (!)
I was there too spoke to Don King at ringside seats. Orlin Norris fought at undercard too. The Virginia state or Virginia union cheerleaders was there I can't remember who sang the National anthem
would have loved to see oliver mcall vs David Tua. That would of been an all out heavy handed rumble!! Not sure who would of won that one,but my money would of been on Tua
Oleg was one of those fighters whose chin gets a little better as the fight goes on. Golota was another one. Catch those guys early and they couldn't take it for some reason. I didn't know chins have to be warmed up.
no doubt, I agree vitali is far more accomplished boxer, has far superior skills, and Chin is undoubtedly better then BigO, but fact of the matter is the fight did happen, and maskaev won at the Time it occurred, its something a lot of ppl don't know and argue about it and try to dillute it
из комментариев в ютьюбе..........безсмертие души зависит от нашей жизни теперешней,что тут на Земле взрастим,то и получим "там"!.......много загадок таит в себе жизнь и после смерти телесной будет продолжение жизни в новой форме,какой?...не знаю,но незнание не отрицает само существование,но всего лишь показывает уровень нашей образованности....кстати,не забываем,благодарим Бога за жизнь!
Damn this guy had so much poitentual! You couldn't knock him out and his punching power made him very dangerous! He was trained by Steward for the first Lewis fight and I believe if Emmanuel had stayed with him he'd never have gone off the rails so badly. He could have been an ATG.
Drugs and depression got to him. We haven’t any fighters come out of Chicago since. The Midwest used to great in boxing, especially Detroit, St Louis, and Chicago. It’s way too toxic for young kids to get into sports. Ed Brown looked like he was on his way.
@@jonmolina948 He didn't throw it, he had a full on mental breakdown due to mental health disorders. Anxiety, panic attacks, drug and booze use, McCall was a messed up guy. He was nearly about to start sobbing before and after this fight too, it's crazy.
MCCALL either needed some PROZAC or he shouldnt have SMOKED BOULDER the WEEOF THE FIGHT for his 2ND LENNOX LEWIS FIGHT (lol) .... MCCALL NEVER got KNOCKED OUT or TOUCHED CANVAS in his CAREER though right ?? he still fighting aint he ??
Why is this FIGHT not on OLEG ... WIKIPEDIA PAGE ?? I was checking out RAHMAN .. WIKI PAGE & it said he didnt TRAIN for OLEG cuz he seen OLEG get KOD by MCCALL ... but BOXREC.COM has it I guess
Not a fix if hes not warmed up Aaron, Maskaev only had 5 wins no losses they found that out later he wanted to move up fast,but that was one premature stoppage if there ever was one.
thats right, lennox lewis reigned as undisputed champ, and oliver mccall in my opinion KOS lewis anyway. lewis had a sponge chin and was so passive it was boring to watch, on the other hand. If you hit oliver mccall it makes him fight even harder, Its like he's not fighting until you hit him in the face and he snaps into atomic bull mode, I've watched a lot of fights and i think mccall was ATG but so was buster douglas who beat Prime Tyson and Prime Mccall
this fight was fixed. I've seen Maskaev take huge shots. If a guy goes at the beginning, it's a fix. He doesn't want to take punishment if he's going to lose anyway...probably to set up McCall for a rematch with Lewis.
Weird things happens in the first round. As a fighter warms up he takes punches better. That's what the expression "getting caught cold" means. Gotta warm up before you can take those shots.
