This March 8, Saturday night, in Mexico, two title-holders put their belts on the line, Oleg Maskaev vs Samuel Peter, and Juan Diag vs Nate Campbell. This will be in Plaza de Toros in Cancun, Mexico.
Oleg Maskaev will make his the 2nd defense of his title against WBC interim heavyweight champion Samuel "The Nigerian Nightmare" Peter to determine the WBC heavyweight champion. They have been scheduled to meet on October in New York's Madison Square Garden, but Maskaev got a back injury and was forced to pull out of the fight on September 21.
Maskaev who is from Kazakhstan and a U.S. citizen since 2004, has a record of 34-5, 26 KOs, with homes in Staten Island, N.Y., and West Sacramento, Calif., is riding a 12-fight winning streak that includes a 12th-round technical knockout over Hasim "The Rock" Rahman to win the WBC heavyweight crown on August 12, 2006 in Las Vegas.
He connected with a devastating left hook that sent Rahman down midway through the final stanza and shortly thereafter finished him off with an unanswered barrage that caused the referee to stop the fight during the last minute of the contest.
Maskaev will face on Samuel Peter, who has a record of 29-1, with 22 KOs that has caused him so much trouble in the past. Peter is from Nigeria, but now living in Las Vegas, is achieving the success many boxing experts and fans have predicted would come for this heavy-handed knockout artist. The Nigerian's 75% knockout percentage backs his claim. His only loss came by decision in 2005 against Wladimir Klitschko, but only after Peter had knocked him down three times. We watched that fight, and we will also watch Oleg Maskaev vs Samuel Peter live online.
Also in the same under card, lightweight champ Juan Diaz (33-0, 17 KOs) of Houston puts his crown on the line against contender Nate Campbell (31-5-1, 25 KOs) of Tampa, Florida. Diaz looked terrific in defeating Freitas and Julio Diaz, and hopes to keep the momentum going against this crafty challenger.
