There was an accidental headbutt in the 3rd Round that opened a cut over Chagaev's eye and the ref tried stopping the fight after the 5th round but the doctor said he was still good to go. After the doc's recommendation, the ref was still trying to stop the fight until the supervisor told him he could not.

 

After the 6th round the doctor again says Chagaev was good to go but the ref still overruled him saying he was too injured to continue. Has anybody ever seen a ref overrule a doctor before?

 

Chagaev ended up winning by a SD but Drummond had beeen coming on strong. I know it was a longshot and i only had a small bet but i still think it was a big

that would have been a solid play if the bout was held any where but the fatherland. drummond was never going to be allowed to get a decision. universium owns the wba.

resistance is futile.

you got shitted on. at least Drummond is for reals now. Chagaev is the 3rd best heavy by a good amount that is unless Haye turns out good, Pokitvin is tested (the 4th best), or Arreloa stays in shape. Remember him next time

the judging was actually decent, two judges had it as a draw and one had it for Chagaev. I also thought that with Drummond being from Costa Rica and the ref from Panama, if anything that would work in his favour.

I've just never seen a fight where both the doctor and ringside rep have told the ref that the fighter is still in good condition, but he goes over their heads and calls the fight.

Ref must have had money on the under
