There was a cut caused by an unintentional headbutt in round 3 over his left eye. The ref Gustavo Padilla let the fight go on but after 6 rounds they stopped the bout due to the cut and it went to the scorecards which read: 60-54, 58-56, 58-56 for Ruslan.
Next for Chagaev will be a bout with current WBA champion Nicolai Valuev on June 26th, 2009.
