  • 2008 Beijing Olympic Heavyweight Russian Gold Medalist Chakhiev wins every round on the judge's scorecards over Chicago Golden Gloves champion Wright.
  • A wide, left hook to the body sent Wright down, grimacing in pain. He got to his knees, but was holding his side and made no attempt to beat the referee's count.
  • Wright, an aggressive style boxer, took bout injured on short notice with Tendonitis in both elbows and fought in defensive mode. The Rick Wilson strategy didn't work.
