Felix Sturm vs. Daniel Geale RBR

Round 3

1-2 by Chagaev, and Kreiskott is both hurt and cut! Chagaev keeps shuffling forward and slaps out with a right hook behind the head. Kreiskott circles away, mouth open, guard up but dropping when there's more than a foot between them. Double hook by Chagaev knocks Kreiskott back toward a corner. Kreiskott scrabbles and tries to hold but shoves off when it's clear Chagaev is strong enough to shrug him off and punch him on the inside. Kreiskott is pushed into a corner by the jab and then pushes forward to throw Chagaev out of his way. Big left hook by Kreiskott, thrown off the mark and almost spinning him offline before he squares back up to keep a wary eye on Chagaev. Jabs by Chagaev, very methodical as he circles in close. Slapping right hook by Chagaev. Straight left lead to the guard by Chagaev. Another, bouncing off Kreiskott's elbow. A couple of clubbing lefts by Chagaev, and Kreiskott complains they are behind the head. Kreiskott jabs and drops his hands. Chagaev doesn't exploit it yet, just watches and takes mental notes as the clock runs out.

30-27 Chagaev

 

It's so weird to me that Chagaev is at this level now.

It doesn't seem all that long ago he was the h2h best heavyweight not named Klitschko.

 

This goober is chatting just as much nonstop **** as he was during Raoui vs. Buarnas earlier. :!:

Damn motormouth.

 

Round 4

Chagaev is jabbing and sidestepping, changing his trajectory as Kreiskott waddles around him, then ducks and leans back. Chagaev is able to adjust his aim and find him with the jab no matter what Kreiskott does, either scoring to the face or knocking his own gloves back into his face. Double hook by Chagaev, one on the shoulder and the next landing. Big hook traveling around the guard, buried into Kreiskott's left ear. Kreiskott paws out with his left jab while wincing as Chagaev feints. Right hook by Chagaev, partially blocked. Kreiskott reaches out with a slow rainbow-arcing left hook and gets countered with a soft right hook to the nose. Chagaev is slowing down considerably. Kreiskott gets bold and pushes Chagaev back with a few clubbing shots.

10-9 Chagaev

40-36 Chagaev

 

No, commentator, Kreiskott did not "nick a share" there...although it was his best and Chagaev's worst. It is still a shutout.

 

This is going the distance. :dead
