Alexander Povetkin vs. Mike Perez RBR

Round 2

Leapai is following after Charr with pecking jabs up top, varying their speed and power as much as he's capable of doing. Charr fends him off with a flush uppercut on the sternum, making Leapai suck wind and double over briefly. Leapai returns with a steady jab up top, scrubbing Charr's hairline. Leapai is picking off Charr's jabs on the front of his right glove and ducking behind his own left arm, bowing in and working the body. HUGE looping right by Charr, around the guard, stunning Leapai. Only momentary, Leapai quickly resuming his role as the aggressor. Jabs and big sailing overhand rights by Leapai, pushing Charr back. Light shoeshine at the face on the backfoot by Charr.

10-9 Charr, very close - eye-catching stuff from Charr but consistent work by Leapai

19-19

Round 3

Leapai is trading jabs with Charr at mid-range, trying to roll his head under Charr's and spear up with his own into the bottom of Charr's chin. Left hook downstairs by Charr. Low blow? Very confusing. It seemed the ref held up fingers in Leapai's face to give him a standing eight, but then gave him some recovery time while Leapai clutched his groin. :conf Time in. Charr lands some looping rights on the dome as Leapai jabs in, catching most of Charr's jabs on his wrists but unable to keep out the looping right with no head or upper body movement and his guard fixed in place. Leapai jabbing and hooking from the high guard while Charr leans back and works uppercuts and looping rights.

10-9 Charr

29-28 Charr
