I dont disagree with that at all (I only gave him three) but IMO he was still competitive despite Vitali winning quite comfortably. I scored Cotto/Floyd 117-111 for Floyd for instance yet that fight was very competitive.
I mean how many rounds did guys like Adamek, Arreola, Briggs win against the same man? Combined I gave them 1 round

And it tells us nothing about how he'll fare against Haye. Comparing that fight with Cotto's effort is a little thin. |

I can't pick this one. Haye's perfomance against Wlad may very well be deceptive, a lot of people will be judging him on that rather than how he was viewed prior to that fight. I don't think fighting Wlad should suggest much about how it is to fight Chisora, especially when there was so little action.
Chisora's recent efforts have not been that dissimilar from Fragomeni in style. Recall how Haye actually struggled with a durable fighter that will come forward to get on the inside with little worry about what is coming back at him. The difference is that Fragomeni was 5'9" and <200lbs and Chisora is 6'1" and ~240lbs, and almost certainly with better punch resistance. I don't expect Chisora to take a backward step unless he is hurt. Haye will be back pedalling and trying to land big counters all night, and with Haye's debatable stamina, that's going to be a pretty decent challenge. |

I'm really not sure why peoples perceptions have changed to the degree its widely considered Chisora has a great chance. Because he beat an oak tree like Helenius and nicked a few rounds off an ancient and visibly fading Klitschko? What do you think would happen if Haye fought somebody as bad as Helenius? Its widely known he got pounded by Haye in sparring, he'd get knocked out in a real fight. It's not at all hard to envisage Haye taking rounds off a slow, clumsy Vitali at this point.
Haye will win this fight. |

Does anyone else find the venue of the fight a bit interesting? As a West Ham season ticket holder and a fairly casual boxing fan, the thought of the Millwall supporting Haye fighting at Upton Park, could lead to absolute chaos, there could be more action out side the ring than in.
Also surprised Haye has possibly hand the home advantage to Chisora when there were so many other possible neutral venues. |
