    Both are tired. But it affects Chag more. Back and forth action. Chag landed a cleaner shots. That's the only reason to give him a nod.

    78-74 Chag

    I know Boystov was fighting a "bum" tonight....but he looked so much sharper than either one of these fighters. The crispness of his punches was so much better.

    IMO Chagaev should go back to his old trainer.

    That's it, only an 8rd fight......I didn't realize that.....I got it a draw.

    damn, only 8 rounds? I was thinking/hoping this was a 10 round fight...

    ah well, Walker did well, especially against a former champ. Chagaev is going to win, probably 78-74

    Walker was staying too close to Chagaev, and into his range. Instead he should have stayed outside and use his height and reach, while throwing jabs and crosses.

    Chagaev looked pretty bad, imo.

    I think Haye is going to be a lot more willing to fight his mandatory now. So don't expect either Klitschko vs Haye.

    Boytsov looked very good. He definitely has fire in his hands. He needs to stop fighting cans.

    yep. I had Chagaev ahead by 1 round after 7, gave the 8th to Walker.

    Damn. Chagaev's obviously going to get a decision. He's also clearly faded. If that fight went 12, who knows what would've happened.

    At the end of the day, just Travis Walker just shake his head and say, "**** it, I got paid."
