Chagaev-Skelton round per round ....

Commentators predicting doom for Skelton in this round...

 

How is Chagaev looking different? Is this where he will be at from now on? Or is he just out of shape?

Will he duck Wlad? Probably...

 

I also think its cheep nickname "White Tyson"! you know

 

The entire division bar Wlad is ****. UTTER ****.

Beating Ruiz or Valuev means nothing. Chagaev could have looked like a heavyweight Sugar Ray Robinson against Valuev because most humans see Valuevs jabs 3 days before they land. This fight just sums up how absolutely atrocious the division is. The worst ever by a mile and Wlad fans need to stop trying to defend this awful era (not saying you were Asterion)..Wlad is a class fighter but he has NO comp, none whatsoever.

 

Reckon Chagaev will be pushing for a KO now.

 

chagaev 86
skelton 84

 

chagaev very tired now. skelton should let his hands go now

round4: 10-9 ruslan - skelton more active ruslan landing cleaner
round5: 10-9 ruslan - ruslan landing cleaners now
round6: 10-9 ruslan - ruslan throwing effective combos now
round7: 10-9 ruslan - skelton spoiling chagaev's offense but doing nota
round8: 9-9 - pt taken from skelton but landed some nice uppercuts
round9: 10-9 ruslan - not impressive from either guy, ruslan landing only meaningful shots

87-83 the white tyson atsch

 

Commentators make it sound like Matt's head is about to topple off his shoulders.

 

round 9 was chagaev's best of the fight so far IMO

 

I think the ref is manuel from fawlty towers, lol

 

The division is just as good, if not better than it was in the 80's. You forgot there's still Povetkin, Dmitrenko, Chambers, Ibragimov, Peter, Maskaev and more.

 

Hope Matt makes it to the end. Take your small victories where you can get them, y'know?

Chagaev pushed for a KO to begin with then went back to boxing, another good punch at the bell.

Chagaev 98-91 Skelton

 

chagaev all the way

 

round 10/ chagaev takes ring center for once

chagaev plants his feet and lets rip for 30 seconds on a stationless skelton on the rop[es but skelton not hurt at all

skelton now wlaks chagaev down and bullies him to ropes

chagaev looking for a honey punch

nice right uppercut knocks chagaev head back

chagaev seems fresher of the 2

chagaev boxing of back foot better cleaner work

skelton mauling not a lot in the tank
big left near the bell

chagaev

98-93

 

No era will be as bad as the era post Ali to pre Lewis-Holyfield-Bowe etc...

Remove Wlad, Holmes, and Tyson, and this era's leftovers destroys the late 70's to all of the 80's.
