    I don't think that Chagaev could hang with Wlad or Vitali right now ... he looked good but he doesn't seem like that type of fighter in my opinion. He's a good, schooled, technical boxer - but he's a small HW and he doesn't seem to have much power --

    A guy like Haye would give Chagaev some trouble ...

    Nonsense:patsch

    You can give Drumond rounds 3 and 6 nothing else. The fight was definitely not close...how long are you watching this sport?

    The announcers had it a tie and the other had it for Drummond. Ruslan really didn't look that good, he needed this fight to shake off some rust.

    Umm why 1 and 2 are for Chag, 3 - Drummond, 4 - Chag or draw, 5 - three way, 6 - Drummond. You can get a draw.

    I wasnt impressed by Chagaev, he was hitting CDD, but his punches werent doing real damage and every time when Drummond was unloading on him Ruslan had problems.

    Oh and my honest opinion - if a fighter can walk - he can fight... Rocky Marciano won a fight with a ripped off nose

    Jeeezzz, Chagaev looked like **** out there. That version of Chagaev is a probable win for Valuev.

    58-56 for Chagaev sounds fair.

    Drummond has some good things going for him, he's actually a fairly good fighter, if he had let his jab go he may have won this fight.

    I just caught the last round and was going by what they had said.

    Drummond looked fairly decent, but seemed to be lazy, intimidated, poor stamina or a combination of those. When he really went to work, he had decent succes and briefly stunned Chagaev with a VERY hard roundhouse right hand. Well, Chagaev wasn't wobble or anything, but he momentarily went back to the ropes... his chin is excellent.

    I thought Chagaev looked good technically, but after a few rounds, it seemed like his punches lacked snap on them, especially the power left hand. Drummond looked decent, definitely a top20 guy. He just needs to go to work instead of going through the motions. He looked like a sparring partner for all rounds except for the 3rd and 6th; i gave him the 3rd and had the 6th a draw.

    I gave Drumond only one round, Chagaev looked good after one year lay-off. Good balance, technique, timing, tactics. Giv him some time, in few months he will again make Valuev look like a amateur
