    Proper British scrap....Chisora's got heart but he let himself down. He's not professional enough and I am not even talking 'bout conditioning. He is not listening to his corner. Fury's a warrior but he's just so beatable. Anyway, fair play to Tyson. This guy loves boxing and he showed it tonight.

    get the **** out that's one of the best heavy weight fights i've seen for a while. Obviously what it lacked for in skill made up for in drama but well done tyson ( had me on the edge of my seat ) ....

    i thinbk tyson is one of the most genuine people in the sport today ..he's gone up in my estimations big time..

    tyson was great for tv...he has all the attributes to be a great favourite of the british public...so much more likeable than big gob/big nose/no action haye...

    It was a decentish scrap but I think today we're starting to get into the danger of describing anything that isn't a total stinker of a fight as a classic.

    I enjoyed that bout and it's really good news it was on terrestrial where a fair few casuals would have caught it; even though Haye was shocking at least his fight got people interested in boxing again and if Ch5 can capitalise on this, get their arse in gear and bring us a few domestic fights (which won't cost them a great deal) we could be on to a good thing.

    It's true, it has. As much as a non spectacle the Haye fight was, this fight (Fury/Chisora) got heaps more coverage than it normally would have had.

    Long may it continue I say and let's hope C5 continue to show interest in the sport.

    Im kinda with you on this one, it was a decent scrap to the hardcore fans like ourselves, although I thought it was one of the most repetitive fights I had ever seen, it was like watching the same clip on loop for 12 rounds:D but all I could think of was the casual 'down the pub' fans enjoying two big fellas going at it & showboating, its the kinda fight that will have the public wanting to see more of both men.

    Decent scrap to the hardcorians, great fight for Joe Public, & the most charismatic guy won, all in all a great starter for C5:good
