    I had Kabayel box his ugly little face off with ease

    Kabayel clearly won by a wide decision on my card. I remember it was something like 117-111.

    Can't remember exactly, but Kabayel deserved to win, certainly.

    It wasn't Chisoras most interested performance, IMHO, but that's on him - poor showing or not, it's still a definite loss.

    Chisora is one of the most inconsistent ranked boxers maybe ever! He looks lazy and uninterested, losses wide or get KO’d in a strong effort and then turn it around and beat someone he’s not supposed to beat in the next. Seems to get unlimited of chances also, weird boxing career.

    I mean, to be fair, he's always been willing to fight anyone, draws a decent crowd and clearly negotiates to get fights made rather than to curate a career... Sadly a lot of that is weird these days.

    You're not wrong that he could be inconsistent at times, but he was usually a tough night... I don't think he's really way up there for most inconsistent ever at all.

    Heck, even within this era you have fighters who've looked borderline elite in a few of their best fights and absolutely awful against other opponents - Fury, for example, has way more dramatic swings between his best and worst performances.

    from memory, a bit of a snooze of a fight but Kabayel won clearly with Chisora showing a pulse in the fight far too late.

    Yes, Chisora is always game and is in mostly fun fights and fights way above his level at times.

    Chisora’s willingness to fight anyone is definitely something to admire and I wish more fighters was like him.

    Ok, maybe not ever, I meant more that when you think he’s done as a fighter because of a bad loss, he then comes back and win a fight he shouldn’t. Like Chisora took a beating against Klitschko, KO’d by Haye and then a winning streak followed by a few losses/wins and then KO Takam followed by being KO’d by Whyte. Back to win/lose some followed by a beating by Parker in their second fight, then beat Pulev, then KO’d by Fury and then beat Joyce/Wallin in upsets. lol, Rock Star career!

    Sure, Fury is very up and down in performances but you expect him to win, with Chisora you have no idea what’s going to happen, lol!

    Kabayel won but I don't remember it being that convincing, but it's never easy against Chisora...

    I actually had it a draw. Kabayel dominated early but faded as the fight went on.

    I don't remember but I remember that Chisora looked disinterested, and Kabayel put in a workmanlike performance for a clear but unspectacular win.

    It was a really forgettable boring fight.

    Kabayel won close but clear, but didn't impress. He's improved since then.

    Chisora turned up unmotivated, very off night for him.
