Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Povetkin RBR

Round 3

Left hook by Drozd, climbing up Masternak's sides. Masternak is countering with the right hand and holding Drozd off effectively. Drozd keeps working the left hook to the body and chasing after Masternak's chin with his right hand, accurate but with Masternak tempering the blows by rolling with them. Nice jabs by Masternak as Drozd darts in with crisp straights. Close round.

10-9 Drozd

29-28 Drozd

 

:happy Pretty Boy has still got it!

 

Round 4

Masternak is backing up and jabbing into the air. Drozd is faking with the jab and then dropping into a submarine cruising mode, getting inside and surfacing with hooks and short chopping rights. Masternak holds and tosses him back with a parting jab.

10-9 Drozd

39-37 Drozd

 

Mateusz's corner is doing a great job keeping a lid on that.

 

Round 5

Masternak is holding both arms low and looking to jab at Drozd when he settles down. Drozd never does. Lots of flashy movement by Drozd, circumnavigating Masternak with frequent direction changes and keeping his guard up but without ever looking rigid or robotic, turning his arms like windshield wipers as he steps in semi-circles and counters. Nice combination by Drozd moving in, hooking the body and the right up top.

10-9 Drozd

49-46 Drozd

 

The same dip**** who gave Jovo Pudar half the rounds against Chagaev now insists the 5th was a Masternak round although "Drozd finished well".

Yes, he finished the last two-plus minutes pretty well, didn't he? atsch
