Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Povetkin RBR

Round 3

Chagaev is molesting Pudar with the right jab, putting it up and over Pudar's guard to grate against his face. Chagaev follows with left hands and hurts Pudar very badly, making him back up in straight lines. Down goes Pudar on a big left hand. He rises and circles away with Chagaev methodically blasting with the left after pawing his way in with more of those wall-scaling penthouse-entry jabs.

10-8 Chagaev

30-26 Chagaev

 

:rant

 

FINISH HIM!! :fire

 

I guess that is mildly impressive, considering Pudar fought a prime Sam Peter. (but otherwise absolutely nobody of note...his next best opponents being South American can-crushers)

 

Round 4

Chagaev is following Pudar in a rocking-chair plod, shifting weight back and forth but edging forward, putting up the right jab to get Pudar bouncing on his toes and looking for a spot for the left. Pudar sneaks his left jab out past Chagaev's but has too much reverse momentum to score it.

10-9 Chagaev

40-35 Chagaev

 

Shang Tsung. :good

(although I believe technically per canon it was Shao Khan who spoke that command...and he was a native of Outworld, not China...)

[/dweeb]

 

"The mere fact of Chagaev being here tonight on this card tells you where he is..."

- Rawling

:nod With you so far.


"Should it be a loss for Povetkin tonight, Chagaev might be right there in the mix..."


:blood

Wait, that's what you meant? You think it's flattering that a former world heavyweight champion is buried on the mid-card here, or indicative that he is still a legitimate top contender?
