I thought it was well known that Chagaev is suspected to have been suffering from hepatitis. Dan Rafael alluded to this in an article on ESPN.com on June 26, 2008 when writing about Chagaev's injuries and medical issues. Rafael noted that the Universum people put out a statement saying that Chagaev had been suffering from "an acute inflammation of the body" but Rafael added: "Numerous sources reported that he was suffering from hepatitis B."

ah ok, maybe my question was a bit ambigious.
I have heard about that illness as well, but I'm not sure, when exaclty he was diagnosed with Hepatitis (or the like). If it was between his fight against Valuev and the fight against Skelton that might be the reason for his weak showings...

Thx for posting that. I nearly pulled the trigger last night on the over. Certainly doesn't mean that this one won't go to the cards. Talk is cheap but if Mundine is up for this and he goes for the ko, it's more likely to occur.

This is the same song Mundine always sings. First he announces he is going for a knockout, then he fights a safe first fight. Taylor fight was the latest example.
Having said that, I'll bet under 'cause I like the line.

The press conference for Friday?s IBF bantamweight title eliminator between Silence Mabuza (22-2, 18 KOs) and Yonnhy Perez (18-0, 13 KOs) took place at the Johannesburg television studios of media giant SABC Sport on Monday.
?Perez is a good fighter, he has speed, power, and a great amateur career,? stated Mabuza. ?But he has never faced anybody of name in his career. I fought the best; I have vast experience in situations like this. Perez has not faced one quality opponent and now he is in front of me, he is blocking my way to the championship belt and I have to take him out of the way. I am very confident this fight will end in a knockout, I will win in spectacular fashion.? Perez countered, ?I know Mabuza from watching him on different DVDs. He is a tough fighter but he is not invincible. I have worked long and hard to be here today, he might think he will knock me out but he better be ready for 12 hard rounds. An opportunity like this only comes once in a lifetime and I will make the best of it. If he thinks he will clear me out of the ring early he is dead wrong. Things like this don?t happen every day and I know I will win.? The bout is presented by Branco Sports Promotions, in association with Thompson Boxing Promotions and Gary Shaw Productions and will take place at the Springs Indoor Arena just outside Johannesburg.

Yeah, it's a tough call. It's almost worth passing on to avoid a headache but, of course, we'll go over it anyway.
fightnews had a story that valuev moved his camp to east germany

Geale F'ed up MacKillop last time out with 1 punch, but that's MacKilliop.
Mundine could get beat, it's probably his toughest fight in 3 years since he fought Danny Green.
Mundine makes good money fighting local guys or average veterans. I'm sure he took the fight because he was sure he could win.
I hope it's a good fight.

wow, I cant believe the odds I got last minute for a draw...but it didnt work out anyway...ONE POINT!!!!
yep, you need to get lucky sometimes...
but anyways, there are still plenty of interesting matches this week.

Here's a trend I noticed:
in split decisions, the fighter who gets the first scorecard usually gets the final scorecard and the win.
Isn't that ridiculous? i actually hope someone proves me wrong here lol.

Mundine must have trouble (as Abraham does) making 160. His performances have been slipping since coming down in weight.
That Crazy Kim cat had him pretty hurt a few fights ago. Now this close call. I still might pick him over Sturm though.
I have to to think about that one. First Sturm has to beat Gevor on July 11th.

Fightnews reports a KD by Geale that wasn't counted. Ruled a slip even though Geale connected with an effective punch. This fight was one step away from being Geale's night.
