    Wasn't a robbery. Wasn't a disgrace.

    What WAS a disgrace was the comms team sounding like Chisora's mates chatting amongst themselves as they watched on from ringside and caught on mic by accident. Bellew was doing the unofficial card AND spending time in Chisora's corner giving him advice and encouragement FFS...

    Agree i got i 8-4 or at best 7-5 due to point deduction. Body shots are not equal to head shots, especially when they have no clear effect.

    From a judges perspective, it did seem like a lot of Pulev's shots were sliding, or just not landing on Chisora. The bodyshots in the clinch + the overhand rights Delboy landed at will sealed his win IMO. I only had him 1 round ahead of Pulev, so I could see why someone would have Poolev winning.

    I had it 7-5 Pulev but there was a few close rounds I gave to him. Was fully expecting Chisora to have his hand raised.

    A clean body shot should be counted just as much as a clean headshot. Since Chisora's body shots at the very least forced resets they would be considered effective.

    It's tough to win a close decision in a fighters backyard.

    Was this fight entertaining enough I should watch it? I had a family thing today and only caught the last two rounds so I know the outcome.

    I'm curious about the score but don't want to watch a bad fight to get involved.

    It was an OK fight. Ugly at times with lots of clinch.

    was a terrible fight. both as slow as hell and not much bad intentions on their punches.

    young WILLIS MEEHAN would ko either of these two fighters whenever he chose to imo. he's just wasting away though atm unfortunately.

    Listen, I did not see the fight. But I have some very strong opinions about what happened that I would like you to take under advisement. 1. It had a lot of swing rounds. 2. It is like Jennings/Wlad where the taller guy gives the presence and air of control where none actually exists. 3. I am only guessing based on comments. 4. The referee was not as relevant as he might have seemed when he seemed so relevant as some of you may have thought he was when you watched things of which you found relevant to whatever you may have thunked.

    What did you expect from the UK ? They act like they are very small nation and need to do that every other month.

    Robbery is part of their culture. If you don't believe me, just read the history.

    And british fanboys are top 3 of the most delusional and bias fans for sure. (after Wilder and Canelo fans of course)

    Knew it would be a terrible clinch fest after watching the first fight so didn't bother watching this fight. Pulev's movement is overrated and all he can do is clinch against someone like Chisora.
