Yeah, Ruslan landed 5 left hands in a row. He's looking for big shot. Meehan stucks out chin.. not good...
Some annoying woman keeps squealing everytime Chagaev throws a power punch Meehan is struggling in there, seems to be fighting to survive more than anything else. I'll give him credit if he's still fighting in the 12th.
rd5 Meehan looking more and more defensive, not landing much again this rd. Chagaev is blocking his shots and moving inside and keeping meehan close to the ropes. Chagaev is tkaing over ont he score cards. I hope meehan catches a rythym soon he is starting to get out classed 49-46 RC
rd6 Meehan tries to fight inside some. I guess he doesnt have much choice. he is getting oputboxed from outside by the smaller, shorter man. RC hasnt dropped a rd arguably. I gave meehan rd 1 but it wasnt a thing o beauty. Meehan needs to stay inside and bang with ruslan, Chagaev keeps pushing him away on the inside, 59-55 RC
rd7 meehan finally landed a few looping rights, maybe a possible counter to the straight left landing nonstop on him. RC landed a hard left then smack talked something to meehan. not sure what was said butt he ref quickly admonished him. meehans best rd since rd 1 and he still lost the rd 69-64 RC
In the 7th Meehan landed first good right hand in a fight. Both are quite tired. Chag comes with combos. Meehan clinches
Damn, I predicted Meehan to fall in the 7th. Chag should get him out of there in the next few rounds.
no, but in my prediction thread i took chagaev at first, but then backed off and retracted my pick on the fight thinking maybe the wlad fight plus inactivity could spell upset (i havnt seen meehan fight in a long time but he was coming in in shape and blah blah) stupid me atsch
rd8 RC is clearly throwing with conviction, he is trying to hurt meehan. Meehan had an awful rd not doing much of anything. A fairly slow paced rd with not much solid action. Rusland put together a few combinations when he has meehan on the ropes 10-9 RC 79-73 RC Meehan needs a KD on my card
