Chagaev-Skelton round per round ....

Good respect for the British anthem from the German crowd.
One of the things that the Brit fans sadly get wrong a bit too often for my liking...

Chagaev had "Without Me" by Eminem, didn't he?

 

1000 and 1 nights or what?

 

fighters about to go ring center.

 

I'm thinking Chagaev will be happy to box to begin with...no point diving in trying for a KO yet, too risky perhaps.

Go us! Wooo!

Sounded like a close and quiet first round. Commentators backing Skelton, he got through with two or three rights.

 

lol @ "there's only one Matt Skelton.... Only one Matt Skelton"

Thank **** for that!

 

skelton looks to be winning

 

Chagaev getting through with more now though. Skelton to the body.

 

good we see an upset? lol probably too early to tell

 

Hope this will be a good fight. Thanks for the round by round

More leather landing in that round, more action. Both firing back when hit.

Chagaev took it though.
