For all his limitedness, I actually sensed a gameplan in what Charr was doing

    All jokes aside, Charr exceeded my expectations. I saw him against Owen Beck, Danny Williams and Zack Page and he was dreadful 95% of the time. I actually believe that his plan was to wait for the second half of the fight to open up a bit. I'm not quite sure why he would do that as Vitali is not exactly prone to gassing but well, it was his plan and I sense that we haven't seen the best of him yet.
    Vitali was remarkably open to his shots and Charr did come through a couple of times when he tried. He was in a decent shape as well so it might've gotten at least a bit interesting.

    Would Charr have won had the fight went on? Hell no, but I did like his temperament. In fact, it might come in handy that he lost via a cut TKO. I mean, Vitali didn't destroy him, didn't take his soul, it's almost unfinished business and Charr remains a somewhat viable opponent for top 10 heavies. Had the carried on, he would've been stopped sooner or later I suppose and he might've lost appeal.


    Genuinely feeling bad for him at the moment. He was terribly disappointed on German TV afterwards.

    Vitali is remarkably easy to get to. As soon as an opponent throws something at him, he does this awkward backwards run around the ring that gives guys like Charr, who are well out of their depth, a chance to land a decent few shots. It's very amateurish from Vitali.

    From what I saw, Charr was happy to take Vitali's shots and maybe catch him late on with superior stamina and workrate. Not a bad gameplan if that is the case and I can understand why he'd be disappointed he never got a chance to fulfill that. His gameplan could have been similar to Bellew's, in a sense.

    What else can he do?

    It is not rocket science.

    Cover.....cover......absorb some pucnhes....cover.....cover....throw a leaping hook.

    Vitali is quite vulnerable to that punch because he has his hands down all the time. Fortunately he is a giant in an era of midget heavyweights.

    Yeah, I might be overanalyzing.

    Charr is basically the same level as Sam Sexton, with the greatest of respect to both parties.

    How he earned a fight with Vitali is crazy.

    He literally has no USP.

    He's a slow, plodding, flabby - yet not heavy - 6'3 heavyweight.

    I guess age was his ace up his sleeve, but he looked in poor condition compared to Haye or even Adamek, similar sized HWs.

    Chisora at least brought the fight to Vitali, outweighed him and gave him a competitve fight, despite his inexperience.

    Charr simply looked thoroughly outclassed by an old man for the 3 & a bit rounds he was in there for.

    Name a bigger era please.
    This is the biggest era.

    He's just a giant.

    I'll give Charr respect. It looked like he had just turned up for the paycheck in the opening round, but he was getting to Vitali in the second half of rounds. I look forward to seeing him in future.
