	The boxers fought as expected. Volodya began to work carefully and from a long distance. Chagaev immediately went forward, but our compatriot had no problem avoiding the Uzbek's attacks with simple retreats. The Ukrainian, as is tradition, was answering the opponent with his straight left and increased the usage of the right hand with each round. Yes, Klitschko's first real attack in the fight with the right hand ended with Chagaev being unexpectedly knocked down in the second round.		The boxers fought as expected.

Yes, Klitschko's first real attack in the fight with the right hand ended with Chagaev being unexpectedly knocked down in the second round.

	Starting from the fifth segment of the fight, Chagaev's position became more and more difficult - after several absorbed one-twos, the Ukrainian's opponent began to decrease his ~~dodges~~, and therefore ended up more and more often standing still and receiving blows.		Starting from the fifth segment of the fight, Chagaev's position became more and more difficult - after several absorbed one-twos, the Ukrainian's opponent began to decrease his dodging and ducking, and therefore ended up more and more often standing still and receiving blows.

	In the seventh round, after another straight right from Klitschko, Chagaev's left eyebrow started bleeding. In the same round, the Uzbek had his only chance, not even a chance, but a half-chance. Wladimir "remembered" his old illness which used to appear during the rapid shortening of the distance by the opponent, and somewhat uncertainly moved to the ropes, leaning on them. The Uzbek's only clean blow to the ~~Ukrainian's~~ head also came in this round - Chagaev caught Klitschko with a left hook after the ~~gong~~, when our boxer was not ready for it.

The Uzbek's only clean blow to the head also came in this round - Chagaev caught Klitschko with a left hook after the bell, when our boxer was not ready for it.

	From the eighth, Klitschko "turned ~~on"~~ his legs - he upped his work when ~~retreating~~ to the right or left, apparently not wanting to repeat the experience of the "~~post~~-~~gong~~" punch. And the ninth round put all ~~the~~ dots above ~~the "~~i". Klitschko managed to lock Chagaev in the corner of the ring and started to overwhelm him with straight one-twos. It is surprising how he survived, and it is logical that after this, the Uzbek's coach, Michael Timm, did not let his fighter to continue.[https://champion.com.ua/boxing/2009/06/21/196764/volodimir-klichko-peremig-chagayeva-i-zahistiv-tituli-chempiona-svitu-video-foto]		From the eighth, Klitschko turned his legs on - he upped his work when moving to the right or left, apparently not wanting to repeat the experience of the "after-the-bell" punch.
