Ruslan Chagaev vs. Lucas Browne on March 5 in Grozny

[1hourRun]

I picked Chagaev, had him winning the fight as expected but credit to Browne. Here Chagaev dictates the pace and where/how the exchange takes place leading Browne by circling to the center to set up the cross coming from southpaw - right after he steps through the blind creating the angle ; Catching him square.

what heart, what courage! WAR BIG DADDY

Real hard to dislike Browne he's just a very limited fighter who brings the kitchen sink and the sleeve with his heart upon it.

Hopefully he is looked after in Grozny until he is due to leave, Kadyrov wants to stablish Grozny as a mecca for boxing and have Wilder fight there next he has to make sure none of his underhand shyt goes on.

If I'm Lucas I'm wary of drinking Kadyrov protein super shakes, but then again I'd likely be too shyt scared to say no.

Omfg I *****ed out of putting Browne over Chagaev in a parlay that would have returned a ton of dough. Props to him though.

I had it closer, Chagaev didn't do very much until the 5th and maybe Browne had a good lead up till then, of course the knockdown in the 6th gave him a 10-8 round and also an extra 20 seconds and 4 punches after the bell sounded. Then when Browne comes back hard they rob him of about 45 seconds of the round which is one of the best rounds I have seen in the heavyweight division in a long time... anyway Browne was too tough and won by a TKO with a huge right but yeah, being in Russia/Chechnya the decision would have gone only one way no matter what. Browne did an awesome job and now in the history books as one of very few to come from MMA to win the big one in boxing.

I called Chagaev TKO3. Even at 248 I thought Chagaev's experience & skill would be too much for the limited Browne. I had it 5-1 Chagaev after 6 rounds with the extra point. I had no idea the round was extended as I watched it in Russian & wasn't paying attention to the round clock. Chagaev couldn't finish him & he looked exhausted. Browne swept the rounds until the end on my card. There was no way he should of lost to Browne. I'm assuming by the shape Chagaev was in he disregarded Browne as a threat. It looked that way until the 7th. That right to the body followed by a straight left put Browne down hard. Kudos to Browne for getting up. He was cut, bruised & hurt several times but he carried on & fought like a warrior. Cong**** to Browne for a big win & now he gets another big fight. The difference in the fight was the Browne showed up in the best shape of his career while Chagaev came in the worst shape of his career. Browne was ready for 12 rounds & Chagaev was ready for 6 rounds. Browne could beat Oquendo if he's in the same shape but I'm not sure he will get much further. He's got another good payday coming & potentially life changing money if he wins. Good for Browne...

the knock down came from a combo. He dug a right to the body & went upstairs with the left. I thought that would be it...
