Helenius vs Chisora was a close fight. Not a robbery.

    Watched it again and could of done either way.

    Not shocking helenius won. Del boy should of got the nod. People made it out like heleniuz wasnt even in the fight

    Great fight tho. Rematch will happen . Alot of rounds were tight

    It was a close fight. Not a full blown robbery

    Crazy how people cry robbery so easily these days.

    In most cases where people cry "robbery" I would agree with you. Not here. I scored it a bit closer than most, at 116-112, but any way you slice it, this was a CLEAR win for Chisora. There is no way one could reasonably score this fight for Helenius, without some prior bias.

    I agree.

    I scored it 115-113 for Chisora who outworked the Nordic Nightmare.

    Agreed. Chisora likely won but not by a massive margin as some would have you believe. Great work rate for the pride of Zimbabwe but the vast majority of his shots were not landed, they were mostly shots hitting Helenius on the arms as was blocking. A rematch should still happen somewhere down the line.

    If the situation was reversed and in the UK, we'd have at least 20 threads on British refs and judges and you'd all be screaming robbery.

    Boxing doesn't need **** like this, not in a world where MMA exists.

    Delboy landed double what Helenius did and dominated the fight, you don't know how to score boxing. Pure robbery.

    Agreed! I scored it closer than most did when seeing it live, but I never rewatched.

    Del Boy should have won, but I knew Helenius would get the decision.

    I wonder why the people who say "it wasn't a robbery" or even "Helenius won" are all Klitschko fans?

    Del Boy was the clear winner, however, even if it was close on the cards.

    :rofl I've no doubt you'd be screaming robbery if Chisora was white.
