It seems to me the Boxnation crew thought Chisora won the fight, but knew the fix was in and that Chisora had to win the rounds clearly. For example, they keep talking about the biased ref. The fight was perhaps a little closer then people thought because alot of people had Chisora way up so they stopped scoring the fight. But RH might have taken a round or two of the last few. That said still a clear win for Chisora...no way you can give RH 7 rounds.
:good Most of the hard core finnish boxing fans Thought Chisora easily won it. Even at the end you hear announcer caling the official scores and you hear alot of cheering for helenius and booing for Derek that is not the real reaction of audience how they thought the Fight really went, who and and who lost. >There was Hell of a LOT People, mainly Finns leaving the Arena before they even announces the Official Scores because They Knew in their heart Helenius lost and were leaving arena badly disappointed..

It was the best HW fight in recent years, fought in a great atmosphere but it ended with a bad decision. However, that result hasnt had a negative impact on Chisora's career. I've watched it 3 or 4 times & cant give Helenius more than 4 rounds.
i thought del boy won it, he has that bob and weave come forward style but he does'nt really have the big punch to go with it. it will be interesting to see if he uses the same tactics against vitali, or if he try's to box and move a bit more, like he did in the second sexton fight.
I havent watched it a 2nd time but will have to do so. It was a great fight. We know now that Helenius was carrying a bad injury that he has had surgery on since. Its a fight that I think a fit well Helenius would normally win but on that night I had Chisora winning by a few rounds and was gutted for Chisora that he didnt get the decision. What doesnt get mentioned is how good this result looks on Tyson Fury who clearly beat Chisora in Dereks previous fight when Fury was underdog
May end up being a really career defining fight? It took Chisora to a title fight and put Helenius career on the line.
Yeah... but.. Chisora was horrible out of shape in that Fight. and it was seen. I thought Chisora gassed after few rounds. well can't take anything away from Fury thou. but that is just how I saw it..
i watched it 3 times...and gave chisora 10-8 rounds..and thats with being a biased **** towards helenius
