Drummond blew it big time - one intentional butt and when he should have pressed it in round 5 and 6 he was just showboating and didn't go for the kill...
At least Chagaev got some rounds in ... he reminds me of a Ibragimov ... the scores seemed right ... Drummond had his moments but couldn't pull the trigger - He probably had a chance at being HW champion, but let it slip through his fingers.
Chagaev looked like vitali. Had it 59-55 chagaev But Drumond is a man to watch in the future. He is not as bad as his boxrec rating of 93. He might be Top25 or so.
in america you get lots of t/d or no contests for fights stopped early in the uk in a non title fight , say hatton or calzaghe got stopped on a accudental headbutt after winning every round. they lose by rsf.
The lackluster fight with Skelton, now this. Chagaev is not what he is touted to be. I think that is even more clear, now. It looked to me like Drummond even had him stunned earlier in the fight. I think Ibragomiv would beat him, after seeing this.
Jesper D Jensen (former Team Palle boxer and current Team Palle henchman) was the fights top official
I thought it was very close. Drummond landed about as much as Chagaev did. He also seemed to have Chagaev stunned at one point. Fight could have went either way.
Thats shitty ... The ref didn't know how to take control of the situation -- You should get advise from the doctor ... give Chagaev's corner some warnings to stop the bleeding or something ... check with the doc every round until he says stop the fight.
Just saw Chagaev's cuts. He has 2 cuts above each other over the left eye. Fair enough to stop the fight
