Chagaev looked good against Sprott, he could do with dropping a few pounds though he was very soft around the middle.

If only Sprott had opened up a bit more, Chagaev's decent but a fast fighter with confidence could beat him.

Aye, Chagaev's soft like Samil Sam but shorter.

Chagaev was happy to step inside Sprott to land his shots, whilst Michael (as Michael almost always does) throws his otherwise excellent shots without stepping forward (fear of the counter) and thus doesnt get his power through, and doesnt physically impose himself on his opponents after the punch has landed.

Being a Reading boy myself, and a friend of Michaels family, I am always hopeful that he will have an "on day". This fight wasnt his best, but it was a darn side better than the Vidoz fight. Chagaev is clearly a LOT better than Virchis, despite what we will see later.

I think he should have a tune up win, then look to take on Scott Gammer for the British Title. I hear they get a good atmosphere cracking down in Carmathen.

These guys are little warriors. Marquez V Sidorenko would be a war!

120-108 !! Unbelievable.

I agreed with the other two scores as there was close rounds.

That Judge is crazy or was out to rob Sidorenko!

Vidoz and Virchis look like Ali next to Williams though, as crap as they are. How did Sprott lose to Vidoz (he beat Virchis IMO).

Yes, never mentioned by Holsdworth - He mentioned Vidoz beat Harrison once and lost to him twice, but never stated he was an Olympic Silver Medalist and never said Audley beat him in the final.

Bronze wasn't it? Harrison beat Dildabekov in the final.

Yeah, the official Olympic site has Vidoz down as winning a Bronze.

Then click on Medals by country and Italy.

In fairness his carrer has certainly been more ambitiouse than Audley Harrison's and you have to respect that.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 04 Aug 2006, 02:34

Way more ambitious that Harrisons. I'd certainly back Vidoz to beat Harrison now.

I agree and the irony of it since he beat Vidoz ages ago!

I hate the way our Heavyweights are wasting their talent, the eastern euros suck.

If ones like Bruno, Cooper and Bugner existed in this division they would of taken hella advantage over this current crop. Well not Coooper since he'd be a Cruiserweight.
