Chisora-Pulev II: What a robbery

Pulev said anything yet?

 

Get it all off your chest buddy , and breath!


P.S ...this was not a robbery

 

Definitely not a robbery and Haye was making a good point in respect of body shots generally being undervalued too. Chisora was ripping the body throughout and landed the bigger shots. Pressure, jabs and general ring control goes to Pulev. It was a close fight and I wouldn't have been suprised if it went either way. Goes to show that different judges value different things.

 

So now landed shots equal different score based on where they land???? Like WTF?

 

I already made a long post explaining body shots, try to arguing with any of my points, you just can't!!!

 

Wait just a dad gum minute! Don't you know that when you kill the body, the head will die?
I'm being sarcastic here but haven't you ever seen a body punch end a fight? Hopkins-De La Hoya, for example. Maybe you don't mind getting slammed to the body but most humans feel pain when their liver or kidney is punched. Body shots are as countable as head shots.

I had the fight 7-5 Pulev and thought a draw would've been fair. A split decision was ok. There were quite a few close rounds. I was surprised at how ineffective Pulevs punches were. No power on them at all.

 

I have 114-114.

 

Simply put, Pulev was throwing pitty patty shots in more volume but with very little conviction. Chisora was landing heavy shots with lower volume but enough to eke out the rounds over the lightly powered volume landed on him by Pulev. Pulev should've put a bit more mustard on his shots. His straight right might as well have been a pawing jab at times it was so weak. The only convincing shot he threw was the uppercut but that wasn't thrown and didn't land enough at all.
The fight was about as close as they get. Perhaps a draw was fairest but a Chisora victory in a close fight is long overdue.

 

How many times have we seen guys destroyed physically by body shots, either by draining the gas tank or crumpling them to the floor? Too many times for me to discount their value when they land clean and hard. I can tell you myself that a good body shot hurts more than any head shot will do. The pain is debilitating, it drains your energy and most definitely impacts the fight. Even with immense conditioning a well placed body shot can destroy all that work. I don't take people who dismiss body shots as lesser punches seriously. Even a light body shot will have more effect than a light head shot, they pretty much always have an effect on the fight if utilised properly.

 

Unless the seven rounds won were as clear as Waterford crystal, there's no way that can be considered a robbery.

 

Hearn was so eager to crown Chisora with this match, so I think it's a robbery too. Hearn has been using Chisora as a gatekeeper for years, it was about time rewarding him.

 

Honestly 7-5 can be a robbery. If one fighter has no case for 6 or 7 rounds.. Then it's a robbery.

Only thing here, Chisora legitimately had a very fair case for winning 7 or 8 rounds (well at least from my first watch.. I'm not watching it back again lol)

 

Exactly. Pulev was throwing punches to the head but most of them weren't with conviction and Chisora was doing okay defending them with his gloves and active upper body movement. Chisora was digging heavy thudding shots into the body over and over, and you could see Pulev doing his best poker face in there. Pulev was landing uppercuts here and there but Chisora was even catching Pulev with the more frequent big head shots as well. I don't really get how people think Pulev won this tbh, let alone it being a robbery. I thought giving 6 rounds to Pulev was generous.

 

It means I dont feel bad that a guy who has little to any luck in his career finally got a close decision his way.

I thought Pulev edged it, but the fight was incredibly close. "Robbery" would be a stupid term to use.

 

"Ripping the body throughout" is a bit over the top. By far most of Chisora's body shot were arm punching slaps. He did land some good over hand rights, but even the one's block and the one's missed were scream out by the announcers as landing flush. I'll give you Brits one thing, you are loyal to the end for your fighters, win, lose are draw.
