    I know, mate


    I wish he had retired a good few fights ago

    I've always been a big fan. I gotta back him hell or high water.

    This has been a sad, crappy event of boxing. Sugar Rob winning by brutal KO is now the only way to save some of it.

    Worst non-PBC on Fox card I've seen in ages.

    Feels like most of this card has been played at half-speed.

    This particular fight appears to be taking place in treacle.

    Round 8 Chisora 10-9
    Round 9 Chisora 10-9
    Round 10 Chisora 10-9, close

    Chisora looks like he wants the KO, but doesn't know how to go about getting it. Gerald nailing him with rights. Hard jab from Dereck, countered with a hard right from Gerald. Then Chisora lands a decent right hook to the chin. Chisora head down, battering the body in close. A lot of holding late. They trade at the bell.

    97-93 Chisora

    96-94 is fine as well.

    Last round for Chisora.

    96-94 either way or 95-95 are decent scorecards...horrible fight

    Round 10

    Chisora is winging those big overhand rights from too far out, and then doing a bit of a Dempsey shuffle on the inside and landing body shots as a southpaw. Washington hugging and spinning. Washington's chest heaving, drawing breath with difficulty. Lots of wrestling and free hand slapping in the pocket. Both land a combination just before the final bell.

    10-9 Chisora, close

    98-92 Chisora

    I thought Washington stole the 10th round I have it a draw.

    5-5 Draw.

    96-94 Chisora

    95-95 is also fine.

    Both guys are done and should retire, but I see Chisora having one more in Saudi in January. He must be getting paid well by Skills Challenge. Chisora’s round as he forced the pressure and Washington didn’t throw much.

    I feel like Chisora will get it close as he showed more intent than Washington.
