That is just not true. He ripped the body throughout and especially at the end. He landed some lovely body shots.
I thought Chisora won pretty clearly like a 7-5 or 8-4 type fight. Just think he landed the harder shots and outworked Pulev.
I had Chisora winning rounds 1, 7, 9 and 12. I had Pulev winnning all the other rounds. Biased judging and commentary..
I can't remember round by round exactly but I remember after 5 I had Chisora 4-1 down and then I gave him 6 and 7 so I probably scored quite similarly to you as I ended up with Pulev being up 7-5. Pretty sure Pulev rocked Chisora quite badly in the 8th and Chisora rocked him back in round 9. The last 3 were scrappy Chisora appeared to be tired getting outworked on the ropes in round 10, 11 could have gone either way I think I gave that to Pulev and Chisora dug deep and edged the last round. When I think back now it was a very close fight but given the location etc I couldn't see anything other than a Chisora win being announced and I suppose you can't argue too much. Pulev left with two big gashes got caught with loads of overhand rights and got back as good as he got. He might have deserved to win but he didn't put it beyond doubt.
I always judge for myself and don't get swayed by the commentary I won't argue with saying Pulev might have nicked it but you can't tell me that it was beyond doubt.
I won't say that scoring the fight to Pulev would be that generous, seeing as I thought it was a draw, but I would say anyone calling it a robbery is a total fool who is caught up in his feelings.
You could hear those shots, they were devastating. I don't care how tough you are, body shots like those take it out of you and you'll be feeling them when they land.
It was close. I had it a draw but can't complain with a Chizza win. And he's been on the losing side of close fights many times so fair play.
My immediate instinct was a likely draw but on reflection, I think Chisora deserved the result. He worked the body the whole fight and credit to Pulev's conditioning, at 41 years of age, the man is an absolute stud! Chisora was also way more defensive responsible than I've seen him for a long time, parrying many of Pulev's shots and rarely getting caught clean. I just think that Chisora deserved a break and finally, he got one
Just goes to prove ( as if it needed to ) how subjective scoring a boxing match is, good solid posters one and all, but are adamant their choice was the correct one, maybe we should be more understanding toward Judges from now on ? just saying.... stay safe guys.
I had it for Pulev. Two over the hill guys but they gave it to the more active guy that fights anyone.
It wasn’t a robbery, it could have gone either way and I feel a lot of Chisora’s bodywork went unnoticed. I picked Pulev to win but think the result was fair. Given how often Chisora ended up on the wrong side of a decision it’s great he got the nod this time around.
