    With wicked end. Did you guys enjoy it too?

    Imo Chisora was at his best at that night and really pushed Haye until getting caught good.

    One of the best fights from Haye.

    I ****ing loved it. Brilliant match and very enjoyable, I've never understood why the match doesn't get more credit than it does.

    It was the build up too including Chisora - Vitali where it all started. The pre fight antics were fantastic and the fight itself made for entertaining viewing.

    I just mentioned it in passing on a Ellerbe's GGG thread about it being one of the best HW matches in recent memory last night.

    I brought it up because that wackjob James5000 tried to insanely imply that Spike O'Sullivan and Nick Blackwell were Chisora level.:lol:

    Yes, it was very entertaining and did huge numbers in the UK. The build up, controversy and fight made for an enjoyable experience.

    Haye had insane momentum and hype after that win, which is why the scheduled Fury-Haye match was gonna be HUGE.

    It can still be huge, would be the biggest/most hyped British world level fight since Bruno-Lewis(although Joshua vs the winner of this fight would out do it)

    I thought Haye was gassing out and Chisora was really starting to frustrate him, but that knockout was a thing of beauty.

    That is why I believe David Haye deserves a lot of credit in boxing period. America sleeps on a lot of good British fights.

    Vitali beat Chisora easily when Chisora was at his best, and he beat Chisora will only one arm!!!!!!!

    Haye fought a lesser Chisora, but is was an impressive win.................Wilder will not fight Haye, nor will Joshua.............

    Vlad beat Haye easily...................

    Bit of a clinic from Haye after a long layoff and when Del Boy was seen as a real contender

    It was decent, actually - but it had a lot of build-up hype to live up to, which is probably why it hasn't been remembered as fondly as it might otherwise.
