Delboy v Vitali RbR

Del did brilliant in my eyes. Man, do I want to see Vitali-Haye!

 

Haye is such a twat.

 

Eubank making excuses.

 

8-4 for Vitali seems right.

 

8-4 Vitali for me, great effiort from Chisora.

 

Anybody watching Eubank Jr?

Funny as ****.

Hasn't thrown a right hand and the commentators are slagging his power.

He's only working off his lead hand ffs.

They were utter ****.

 

Vitali on PTS was such a great bet for the price, haven't had a big boxing win in a while so am a very happy man tonight! :happy

Thought Chisora was class btw, with the little experience he has had hes really proven himself as one of the very best not named Klitschko....He's still young and he can still go far, certainly after tonight he's a massive name in the division now...hopefully Frank can get him a decent fight in the UK if a Wlad fight or Vitali rematch can't be made

You would expect Haye to talk some rubbish since he fought Wlad and is a potential opponent for Vitali, but I thought he was in good form tonight. By his own standards anyway. I like him as a pundit.


Steve Bunce on the other hand was embarrassing. Just awful tonight. He did nothing but trash the Klitschkos all night. I loved his show on Setanta but sometimes he really does himself no favours at all. The only credit I give him is that he made no effort to be subtle. At least he wears his heart on his sleeve.

Talking about Vitali hand picking opponents. Tell me the state of the heavyweight division for the last decade. If the heavyweight division is filled with overweight, old, unskilled fighters, then they can only fight overweight, old, and unskilled fighters. Many hyped fighters have come and gone. There was a fair bit of excitement about guys like Arreola lets not forget, and Vitali/Wlad have burst all those bubbles. Haye has already fought one of them, and Vitali will probably take a fight with Haye too. Who exactly has Vitali avoided? a shot James Toney? Funny how when Haye fought Audley Bunce made excuse after excuse and was arguing with posters on here, even claiming that Haye needs to put food on the table and how boxers risk their life every time they get in the ring. Funny how he forgets the short notice Lewis fight Vitali jumped into. This is exactly why some think of him as a clown. The double standards are a complete joke. Pathetic from the big man, it has to be said.

It's a shame because the commentators were great tonight. We've had complaints in the past about British commentators being too biased, but these guys called what was actually happening. Great job.

 

Good stoppage from Magee, body shot.

 

Only watched the second half of the fight but it was bloody obvious he'd done his right hand.

Haye is really annoying, surprised Boxnation were pushing Haye/Vitali so much. Del did fantastic, I had it 7-5 but like other said 8-4 is a more realistic scorecard.

I think cos of all the aggro he'll get a Wlad fight soon. What's so surprising is this was Chisora's 18th fight! He's done a hell of a lot better than all these Americans that challenge the Klits.

 

Did Eubank Jr win? Missed it.

 

Look, Chisora is a lot more skilled than people give credit for. Tonight, cross armed defence and used it to very good effect, this is an addition that while he's used it somewhat previously he's never used it as consistently and he implements it against the 2nd best in the division. He's defensively a lot better than people think for an aggressive fighter. Sure he took some punishment at times and took it well, but not that much. A lot of Vitali's right hands he adjusted to and ducked, managed to parry and deflect a good deal too. Vitali is predictable though IMO.

Only thing I think Del Boy let himself down on skill wise, is I've seen better head movement from him. It was arguably better in the Helenius fight. But I think he became a bit desperate knowing he was well down on the cards and left his finesse behind.

Offensively he has a bit to work on.

 

Damn, I completely forgot about the C5 card! What happened?

Terrible idea having it on the night Klitschko fights a brit.

 

I just think he needs better workrate. The only major factor letting him down in his losses, and so simple. Still not convinced about his conditioning.
