    6-3-1 Chisora. Washington just not busy enough. When he threw he forced Chisora on his back foot, but was reluctant to throw.

    Chisora is like:

    “Note to self, next time burgers AFTER the fight”

    I hope there isn’t a next time.

    Washington should've went all out that last minute. What the hell are you saving it for? He is who he is though. My prediction of the going the distance was spot on though.

    They've been much of a muchness haven't they? A dearth of skill all round really. It's looked like a YouTuber event. I remember the Hatton fight, which seems like hours and hours ago, and thinking "Well hopefully it'll get better from here on out".

    Tonight has reminded me why I'm not that into heavyweight boxing.

    That cut looks nasty, fair play for fighting on with that for 8 rounds.

    Credit - of a sort - for Washington, I guess, for lasting until the bell.

    Doubt it'll be worth the horrors of what he'll be depositing in the toilet bowl for the next few weeks.

    With luck, this lackluster fight will be enough to convince promoters they've seen enough of both men.

    This will be the first bout on the card scored by judges. (the prelims were all scored by the refs, and the last two HW fights were stoppages)

    He kept the range, jabbed, Chisora didn't land anything clean.

    96-94 Chisora. Hopefully both call it a day.

    95-95

    This lays the groundwork for Usyk-Chisora II

    Look, it was better than the Hrgovic fight, but if either of these two gets put on a card again charge the promoter with attempted murder.
