	The fact that as a boxer Meehan has nothing on Chagaev was clear even without this fight. The events that occurred within the German ring during 36 minutes of an uneven confrontation only confirmed the complete and utter superiority of Ruslan - the only surprise was that the Australian managed to hold on until the final gong.

	The first round did not show any warning signs for Kali. Taking advantage of his superior size, he kept a suitable distance with his jab, but this was only until Chagaev found a loophole in Meehan's flimsy defensive redoubts. And it happened very soon: already in the second round, Ruslan twice stunned the opponent with sweeping left hooks.		The first round did not show any warning signs for Kali.

	In the final rounds, when Chagaev's stamina finally started malfunctioning, the fight became more even, but this could hardly satisfy Kali, who needed only a knockout to win.

	118-110, 117-111 and 117-112 - with a score that was close to the truth, the judges unanimously awarded the victory to Chagaev, who is now the official contender for the title that belongs to David Haye. The chance to return the championship title may be presented to Ruslan already this year, but only on the condition that Haye fails to agree on a fight with one of the Klitschko brothers.		118-110, 117-111 and 117-112 - with a score that was close to the truth, the judges unanimously awarded the victory to Chagaev, who is now the official contender for the title that belongs to David Haye.

	Feeling the power of the powder charge hidden in Chagaev's fists, Meehan noticeably slowed down offensively and subsequently fought clearly cautiously, thinking three times before going forward. Moreover, Ruslan got confident delivering weighty punches on the target, increasingly forcing the former rugby player to think about the correctness of changing his craft.
