Alexander Ustinov vs. Manuel Charr RBR.

Round 11
Ustinov 10-9
104-104

 

Charr won

 

Round 12
Charr 10-9 Close
114-113

Pretty close and fun fight, could have gone either way, Ustinov should have kept his hands closer to his chin, the dude ate 7-8 good hooks by Charr in the 7th and he didn't bring his hands up, Charr put up a decent performance, he picked his shots, fought smart and scored a knockdown... so yeah Charr will now face highly avoided challenger Fres Oquendo in 2018.

 

So diamond boy is now champion boy.

 

Woot, Charr won! Couldn't be happier.

It was a bit of a hometown decision but a lot of the rounds were nothing rounds with Charr being the come forward aggressor so I'm not too upset it went his way. Couldn't believe he knocked Ustinov down though. Either Charr hits a lot harder than we suspect (Danny Williams claimed he hit deceptively hard) or Ustinov's chin's cracked.

Just hope Charr doesn't get busted for roids afterwards. He looked like he might have juiced up for this one.

 

Charr is a cyborg. Does that qualify?

Charr underwent double-hip replacement surgery in May 2017.

 

Nah. Cyborgs aren't all that. Just look at Deontay Wilder.

 

Wilder vs. Charr is too big of a clash for the feeble human mind to comprehend.

Nothing wrong with a YT video for those who missed it after the fact right?

I had thought the fight was meant to be an elim and the winner was to fight Fres for the reg title. What's going on with Fres? Why has he sat in top five position for years without doing diddles?

Guess I should update the list o champs. I'll be editing the colored champions anyway.

50-50 split, fight in germany or they will never taste Charr's sweet new belt

 

In other news, Povetkin's resume keeps looking better and better

 

Man, if Briggs becomes world champ after this, I say Vitali cracks the top 10 HW

 

You called it!

 

I've always thought Charr was a lot better than advertised. There were little snatches of real quality in amongst the plodding, gloves up, feather dust punching that he customarily showed. He just never seemed to put it together. Maybe all the stuff he went through in recent years was a wake up call as he seems to have got himself into much better shape and appears to fight with a lot more venom. I just hope it's not a one off.
