Anyone watching this? I swear heavyweight boxing has become one of the most boring sports spectacles on the planet. Grapple/rest/grapple/rabbit punch/grapple repeat. 12 rounds of blah, although Chagaev is cealry the superior fighter. Chagaev also was in reasonable condition and did throw punches at least. I know it sounds old & tired, but Ruslan Chagaev in all is moderateness apparently represents the elite in the heavyweight division nowadays, it's kind of pathetic. I think the only fight that would really interest me in the heavyweight division at this point is Klitchko vs. Klitchko.
I found the live stream too late, I practically just heard the results. It was a decision in favor of Chagaev 117-110, 117-111 and 117-111 again. I am disappointed that he couldn't stop Skelton, who even though seems like a tough guy is very limited
I had the fight 113-115 Chagaev, and that factored in the fact that this was in Germany. Ruslan was so open to the uppercut it was unreal. A good fight, but Chagaev is shit. Don't buy the scores- this was a very close fight. If this was in England, Skelton would have won... MTF
