Haye-Chisora > Khan-Garcia

[eminentair]

It was interesting to watch the two fights in the same evening. I felt the haye Chisora fight felt like I was watching an elite level fight, whereas the Khan Garcia fight was for a world title, they looked a notch lower in skill. Haye showed great punch variety, great head movement and timing. Even Chisora show a great durability and pressure.

Khan displayed great physical speed and strength but as usual he looked clumsy and simply pretty poor boxing skills. Same goes for Garcia. The dude threw two types of punch all night long 1. being a looping right and 2. a left hook which he threw with his eyes close and incidentally ko'd Khan.

This didn't look like championship level boxing to me

Really? I thought it was the opposite. Haye looked sloppy at times – due to Chisora's decent defence to be fair – and Chisora himself was being his usual, aggressive bull. That was just a brawl (a very good brawl!). Whereas Khan-Garcia was a decent boxing stand-off for the first two rounds – for it to be then topped off by a sweet, well-timed counter punch.
