So a domestic level feather fist takes on Vitali, and he's a massive underdog. Now he's a '40 year old man'? Come on mate, you call me unfair?!?
Nah, his style is to box in spurts, lunging out into single shots or short combos. He was able to keep Wlad from landing, but like usual Wlad controlled distance. He has a fairly big size advantage over Haye. Was something that worked against Valuev and he expected it to here. When things got more desperate he was lunging in, he just had no balance and wasn't getting close. If he's changed his style to go waddling in he'd have just got hit consistently. What's the point in that, just to say he's gone out on his shield? I don't think it was a great performance but he's a 26 fight novice, I don't think he can adapt how you expect him to.
There's no stopping you this evening lt it go mate He gave Vitali his toughest fight since Lewis. Even the rounds that Vitali won he didn't look good in. Delboy had a real go and fought his heart out, unlike David against Wlad. Try to look past the fact that he's a ****, because in the ring, he left everything, and entertained us. For that he deserves respect.
1. Chisora didn't loose every round. 2. That 40 year year old man has bearly lost a round in 9 years.
I occasionally like to bash someone mercilessly. I just didn't see much that deserved praise. I remember Rawling and Smith giving Del credit for a three-punch combo and not a single shot landed. Seems to be a lot of that going on in this thread. Yeah, great moral victory not getting knocked out, but you still got totally shown up. And after all the bollocks at the weigh-in and spitting in Wlad's face? Nah, no respect. The guy's a ****.
It's because he walked forward. Lose 10 rounds, walk forward. Hero. Lose 8 rounds, keep distance. ****.
I know punchstats aren't always accurate but Chisora landed 163 of 359 punches (45%). Vitali 211 of 605 (35%).
I'm glad someone explained the criteria. For the record, I didn't give Chisora a single round. Thought he looked inept.
John Rawling is a **** commentator. Aside from ignoring the undercard fights he really doesn't know which shots are landing.

well there you go df. Not such a huge gulf is there? Chisora lost 7/8 rounds. If you think he lost them all you watched a different fight.
