    As said, many say there were problems after a fight. Fact is Fury as underdog won however anyone wants to see it.
    Even if Chisora was under trained, Fury didnt have many problems.
    As for the weight, it does look as if Chisora hadnt done what he was supposed to do in training, but it could also be Chisora wanted a bit of extra weight against such a big heavy man as Fury. I dont know I wasnt in their camp

    Vitali landed and threw quite a lot of shots to the head and chest - certainly far more than Chisora, who had some success to the body but landed very few upstairs. It's pretty tough to hit a guy to the body when he is so much shorter like Chisora and hunched over with his guard up. Vitali and Wladimir both have such long arms and bodies that they aren't effective at super close range - Ali had the same "weakness" back in the day. Like Ali, they compensate with good footwork and physical strength in close. Nothing wrong with that.

    One thing is extra weight - but Chisora was downright fat for that fight. Massive shoulders and arms, but huge belly as well which is a massive disadvantage when your style is to bull your way inside like Chisora does. Fury won and deserves credit, but we've seen a different Chisora since - and his "win" over Helenius is the ONLY one that ANY british HW has against a top 10 opponent. Too bad he was robbed.

    Never said there was anything wrong with it. I thought Vitali boxed well, what I said was

    To which the reply was the whole fight was on the inside, to which I disagreed. I never said there was anything wrong with what Vitali did

    Chisora in this shape knocks out Fury!
