Matts getting owned now ! Chagaev is unloading on him and it looks like theyre in different leagues now the champ has got started .

Matt will do weel to win another round now . The crowd are onto Matts hugging tactics too . It looks a long way back from here .

I gave the 5th also to Ruslan, Matt is just coming in and holding and Ruslan is landing some good flush shots.

Okay...here I am...
First 2 rnds to Skelton rnd 3 4 and 5 Chagaev IMO...

Chagaev's round ties it up 57-57

Matt's style is awful and Ruslan is doing well just picking him off now and Ruslan's left is brilliant.

10-9 Ruslan for me in the 6th

Rnd 6 even...Chagaev shouldn't take the infight...

Skelton hurt in the corner . Dont often see him covering up for so long . The refs on his back too . Chagaev thinks he has his number and is landing the classy blows. Matts resorted to his agressive tactics but even thats not working against the superior champion .

Big flurry from CHagaev, two good hooks land flush and Skeltons' chin is impressive. Skelton jabs then leans on, but not throwing too much. Some short but light uppercuts, then a big uppercut.

Skelton's round, his first in fouur on my card.

67-66

I gave the 7th even both landing good shots.

Great fight BTW.

10-10 I had that round

Damn this fight is close and it ain't pretty...Skelton does good in the infight with his uppers...

Ugly fight . Chagaev looks the harder hitter and better boxer . Matt is spoiling but not landing anything

Point off for Matt for holding !
