The two fighters first met in 2005, with Rahman scoring a fifth-round knockout victory.

The rematch was highly competitive, with both fighters coming out aggressive from the opening bell. Maskaev, who is known for his heavy hands and powerful punches, looked to impose his will on Rahman early on. However, Rahman was able to use his superior speed and footwork to avoid Maskaev's power shots and land some effective counter punches.

In the late rounds, Maskaev continued to pressure Rahman and landed some heavy shots that had the crowd on their feet. Rahman wasn't able to a flurry of punches from Maskaev and the fight was stopped in the twelve round. The rematch between Rahman and Maskaev was an exciting and competitive fight that lived up to the hype. Both fighters gave it their all and put on a great show for the fans in attendance. While Rahman came up short in his quest for revenge, he can hold his head high knowing that he put up a valiant effort against a worthy opponent.
