Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Povetkin RBR

Round 5

Chakhkiev lands a straight left on the button. Iule backs up and scores a counter right but doesn't expand on it. Chakhkiev is flicking very light jabs from the hip up at Iule's forehead, not even bothering to bend his elbow when he retracts, just leaving the arm extended down in his lap between jabs, just tickling little arm-punches. Iule continues to eschew courage and dignity, backing straight up as another grown man essentially slaps him in the face.

10-9 Chakhkiev

50-45 Chakhkiev

 

:yep

I believe after this it's Chudinov vs. Wanyonyi, a middleweigt 8-rounder.

Then should be Chagaev vs. Pudar, so probably an hour or so assuming this one and the next go the distance.

Then it's the co-feature, Masternak vs. Drozd, probably by 2:30pm EST/7:30pm UK/10:30pm Moscow...and finally the main event at 3:30/8:30/11:30.

 

This blows. Didn't Chakhkiev used to be exciting? :think

 

Round 6

Chakhkiev is peppering the body of Iule with straight punches while leaning in, hunkering low in front of him and crowding him into the ropes. Iule drops a few clubbing forearms at Chakhkiev while trying to hold him off but eats a big straight left on the jaw and is forced to lean heavily back on the ropes.

10-9 Chakhkiev

60-54 Chakhkiev

 

Yep, sorry, I should've clarified that.

Fedor is also an awesome prospect, though, so people shouldn't necessarily be disappointed if they were expecting Dmitry. :yep

 

The devil ate his soul. :evil:

 

Round 7

Chakhkiev is walking forward and throwing boomerang right jabs from outside, not quite landing flush. Iule is countering with stubby jabs as he is grazed leaning back. Nobody is really getting any square-on leather. Chakhkiev is cautious in his application of pressure, overly patient and not doing much more than step forward to force Iule on the back foot. Lunging hook combo by Chakhkiev, blocked. Iule gets in a glancing right hand backing up.

10-9 Chakhkiev

70-63 Chakhkiev
