    What did you like about him in this fight? What part of his game were you impressed with? Did he surprise you and fought better than you expected. Did he make a fan out of you tonight.

    Let's talk about some of the positives from the fight.

    I give Del a solid 9 out of 10 tonight. You could accuse me of bias, and maybe I am a little. But extra props given the circumstances and THAT REF. Looked good. In a heavyweight division which was crying out for skills, workrate, defensive ability, we saw a little of that tonight.

    Very Smokin Joe like in there. If he had just a little more pop, he would be pretty awesome. Moved the head well, threw a nice assortment of shots to body and head, and most of all HE WORKED DAMN HARD and left it in the ring. Big respect to Del Boy.

    Total nut case, but the boy can fight!!

    Tonigh was the best he ever fought without a doubt. Chisora is a strange character though. I wouldnt even rule it out him packing in boxing altogether after tonight.

    He worked his combonations well off the jab , doubled up the jab nicely. good head movement in the first half of the fight, great workrate maintaining good pressure throughout the fight, great chin.

    Only criticism would be is chisora let off the gas and gave Helenius space for a breather a couple times when clearly Helenius was a lot more tired than CHisora was, also should cut out the show boating.

    Or Helenius has a freakishly hard chin? you could say the same about Helenius, Del took his shots well too. Would you accuse him of having no power?

    I really hope he doesn't. He obviously must know by now that the whole world except a handleful of deluded Fin fans thought he won the fight

    I don't mind the show boating, every fighter has their thing, that's Chisora's. You need characters in boxing. Guess he just felt super confident in there. And why not, Helenius looked out of his depth.

    He did it a few times which took a few seconds, but worked for the majority of the round. So it cant really be used against him I think. I know what you mean in the sense, of giving them any excuse to make you down, but still....

    A KO win over Meehan ala Danny Williams and a similar KO over Adamek, and Dimitrenko or Grant and he's instantly the #4 HW in the world.:deal
