TV for Klitscko V. Chagaev

Agree. I don't think of Chagaev as a boxer, though. Sultan, Byrd, and Tony Thompson are excellent boxers and Wlad dominated them. It would take someone like Holmes or Ali to have a chance to outpoint Wlad straight up. Or Vitali.

 

52-3 46kos wlad
25-0-1 17 kos ruslan (but really should be 26-0 18)
ring belt on the line even though the last ring heavy champ is actively fighting. The Ring sucks.

R1 wlad comes right to him...paw paw paw
chagaev covers up but he is not being a punching bag from the start like a lot of guys...he comes after wlad sort of
wlad pawing the jab...lands some nice ones...wlad okay with hitting the gloves right now..
chagaev gets some shots off to the body
close round so far...wlad lands a clean 1-2...chag with an okay left to the body...
close round...probably wlad, but chagaev landed more clean shots so could go either way
wlad 10-9

 

ugh, Chagaev had a good first minute but now, shades of the Ibragimov fight are already surfacing

 

down goes Chagaev......

 

:crafty:

 

r2
jab jab jab
chagaev is winning the foot battle, but not capitalizing
nice r by wlad
chag not getting off
he tries, but wlad eludes...
nice 1-2 by wlad and chagaev goes down...not too hurt, but it was a kd
wlad not going after him
chag seems okay...like it never happened with how they act now

10-8 wlad 20-17 wlad

 

God is Wlad is talented, but he is so safety first it's damning

 

What is it with these fucking Klits opponents....they have to reach up to land to the head.......why not go to the body?

 

That right hand from Wladimir is on POINT....

 

r3
nice 1-2 by wlad...chagaev comes forward now..close, but misses
jab jab
chag goes to the body..eats jabs in return
nice r by wlad
wlad jabs effectively...
chag is too far out and stil in wlad's range...big r by wlad..no effect
another
wlad misses a big r
bad round for chagaev...did nothing
30-26 wlad

 

Offensively YES.......defensively he is shitty..thanx god for his height...and Steward stink tactics...

 

r4
robert flores and bj flores doing announcing...competent, but adding no drama
wlad coming forward...nice 1-2 by wlad...
one thing...chag is not getting hurt and we know wlad can wear out...chag is setting up a chance later on, but he will be way behind on points
nice jab by chag...blocks the stuff from wlad, but then a hard 1-2 gets through
lots of head movement from chag all fight, but wlad still gets him regularly
big r by wlad just misses...
easy rd for wlad, but I don't think chagaev is anywhere near quitting. I hope he toughs this out because he may have a chance later
40-35 wlad

 

it seems it's gonna be another boring UD or late ko for Wlad, Chagaev should realize he ain't gonna win if he doesn't throw punches

 

Okay he´s more like a pisspoor version of a dumbass, standing right in front of Wlad and moving to his left. Michael Timm has watched Wlad for 10 years every day and this is the best plan he could come up with. How about moving to your right, give Wlad some angles and throw some hooks or punches at all. ::

 

r5
jab jab jab (no way)
jab
wlad coming forward...nice 1-2..clean...
apparently chagaev acted frustrated after last rd
he needs to tough this out...purrity did
low blow by chagaev as wlad pulled him down on a rare attack by chag
no damage
wlad big right blocked
good head movement by chag still
chag misses a couple of lefts..but at least tries
misses another...wlad closer to range now, though...
wlad 50-44

 

better round for Chagaev but that's not saying much

 

r6
nice 1-2 by wlad
chag trying a bit more now..but not getting through
wlad whiffs on a r
again
chag doing nothing in return
wlad misses again
nice left to body by chag
another wiff by wlad
chag landed a nice left, but wlad answered...has to be a wlad rd, but he missed a lot and didn't do too much overall
60-53 wlad

 

Cotton is breaking them up before Chagaev has even had a chance to throw any punches on the inside. ::

 

r7
nice jab by wlad..chag tries, but too short
nice jab by wlad
big r by wlad...that was a big punch...chag okay
wlad looks very good stamina wise
i wondered if the whiffs would show, but they aren't so far
chag tries a big combo...blocked
wlad misses a big one
similar to last rd...
wlad 70-62

 

Wlad needs to throw a rear right uppercut and end this. Seriously, Chagaev is a guy who couldn't legitimately beat Ruiz, a faded Ruiz at that. A 12-0 shutout means nothing. He could easily end this and he needs to end it.

 

indeed, but let's not kid ourselves, going by Chagaev performance and tentativeness, I doubt he'd do anything else than clinch back on the inside, but Cotton should at least give him the chance to do that, it's not like if it'S gonna make the fight any more boring

 

Why isn't Wladislaus trying to stop him. One would think Manny would tell him he needs to get a kayo over this scrub.

 

r8
big punch by chag at end of 7 i didn't see
wlad circling to begin 8...chag doing nothing
wlad throwing some big combos...some r's getting through
chag tries to answer, but short
chag cut over left eye...doesn't seem too bad
that's what wlad has been aiing for
wlad moving a lot...good for chag's slim chances
nice left by chag after missing a couple
wlad's rd by activity, but nothing dominant
80-71 wlad

 

When will this sparring session will end? :dunno: Total mismatch!

 

why the fuck Flores keep trying to sell us that this is a good fight, it's fucking awfull and we don't need a chill to put salt on the wound. I don't get how boxing can be popular in germany, with the Wlad, Valuev , Sturm and cie., it seems everytime i turned on a fight from there it's fucking pedestrian

 

r9
jab jab
chag not showing much wear except for the cut
nice r by wlad
jab jab
jab jab
chag misses a big left
chag on ropes...wlad puches some shots out...but always cautious
nice r by wlad...chag takes them
nice `1-2 by wlad..big r by wlad

then more pecking...wlad misses some, but big rd by wlad and it seemed to affect chagaev finally

90-80 wlad

 

My god, if he just threw a left hook he'd have stopped Chagaev.

 

r10...cornermen and doctors put a stop to it and chagaev does not come out for 10...tko 9
chagaev not complaining or anything...he was dominated...wlad never showed any stamina issues and that was chagaev's only hope

 

Chagaev should be ashamed, that was his big moment and that's the best he could muster :doh::doh: I used to like him a lot but unfortunuately, it seems he's another tin man in a division full of them. And that's why, even though he doesn't deserve it ans is totally unproven, people were excited about Haye fighting Wlad.

 

I don't think he threw a single left hook in the whole fight
