Second round Chagaev threw more but didnt connect much, Walker landed a BIG uppercut as Chagaev was coming in, but he looks like he took it really well. Chagaev 2-0. Walker seems afriad to open up out of fear of getting hit so far, but this looks like it could turn into a good fight/

Rd three Chagaev cme out and landed a good three punch combination that got Walkers attention. Walker got Chagaev on the ropes and landed an uppercut and some hooks.

I would say Walker won the round but the judges could have given it to Chagaev.

2-1 Chagaev

Round 4 - Theyre loading up now and exchanging rights. Chagaev is a little crisper but no ones clearly getting the better of the exchanges. Chagaev lands some big shots, Walker throws back and Chagaev slips. Walker comes back and lands two good shots of his own. Chagaev ends the round with a big right in the last 20 seconds.

Chagaev 3-1, but its still anyones fight to take.

Anyone hurt?

Ruslan has little power, he's connecting on Walker quite a bit, and Walker is known for his glaw jaw, but he hasn't been hurt yet.

I wouldn't call 60% "little power" that's good considering he is kind of a smallish HW.

Round 5 - Chagaev gets the crows excited with a flurry but nothing lands. Walker puts Chagaev on the ropes but also fails to put in any good work. Chagaev gives Waker a clean 1-2, and Waker outs him back on the ropes. Chagaev lands an uppetcut and gets free, and continues to land good punches on Walker in the middle of the ring. Walker fires back with a few good shots and again theyre on the ropes. Walker is looking for the uppercut but just cant land it cleanly.

No one showing any signs of wear yet.

Chagaev 4-1.

Thanks for the reports, I appreciate it.

Travis Walker has a glass jaw, but he's a hard puncher.

Chagaev doesn't have too much power, but he has an iron chin.

Id say Travis weakness is his stamina.

Round 6 - Walker does better in the first minute but sitll hasnt landed anything to get Ruslans attention since the uppercut in Rd 2. Walker lands a big hook while Chagaev is on the ropes, but again Chagaev takes it well. Chagzev goes on the offensice but nothing lands Time out for Walker to get a new mouth guard. Walker compains about a shot to the back of the head. Walker overwings and Chagaev lands one on the back of his head again while hes leaning down.

One the replay it looks like Walkers big shot just grazed Ruslan.

Chagaev 5-1
