You should see the whole fight, Nady warns Maskaev several times early on for holding when he's not really doing that much wrong. But look at that 12th round, Rahman doesn't get a single warning for holding yet is hanging on to Maskaev to hold himself up!

Maskaev looked much improved as he pounded out a decision over Sam, i don't think his general power was ever in question but always his suspect chin. Seems with a bit more mental strength he is a different guy...are all four title holders now from the old Soviet Union?
Here is round twelve in its entirety, with Mike Tyson commentating...

Thanks for that - was this a Top Rank show? I know Lopez and the other guy commentate for Top Rank. I would have love to have heard Tyson's comments throughout.
The both did look awful, but a least it was exciting.
Yep, definitely Top Rank, especially now that the video from the link is gone and has been replaced with:
