    I have not watched it but heard it was the best HW fight in years.

    It was a Great War. Whyte landed more blows, chisora the more damaging ones. It was a tremendous display of guts and heart unlike the pathetic Anthony Joshua fight

    Had it for Whyte 115-113. Great fight and a tough one to score. Wouldn't have argued if Chisora got it.

    Chisora was slugging, virtually every punch he threw was a haymaker...thought he scraped it...

    Whyte maintained his boxing technique far better.

    Was a great fight all in all, was suprised when Whyte said he was hurting Chisora all fight and won virtually every round, it was tight however you saw it and I felt Chisora landed the more telling blows for the most part.

    Gotta be a W for Chisora for me. Whyte was in all sorts of trouble at points and if he were a fighter with less heart he would have gone atvthose points.

    That last round Whyte went down and it should have been a 10-8 for me which would have swung it for DC.

    Great fight, really hope we get to see a rematch - both men put it all on the line.

    I had Chisora winning it, had him up by 1.

    Whyte was fooling himself with that rubbish, shame he said it cause he fought a great fight, it left a nasty taste, if you watch the fight while listening to that you would wonder what he was on about, delusional.
    he wont rematch either by the sounds of it, I suppose you cant blame him but for a brave guy he didn't show much class in that interview.

    I had Whyte winning 115-113 but it was very close, Whyte was landing more shots but Chisora was throwing much bigger punches in short spells which gave the impression to many that he was winning the rounds but he only really fought for 1 minute each round then would take a break and let Whyte come onto him.

    There was one spell in the middle rounds where Chisora threw everything he had at him in the hope he could get the KO but after Whyte stayed in there Chisora was practically running on empty for the rest of the fight & that was the turning point. Both these guys have a great chin & if we can't get the rematch I would like to see Whyte take on Ortiz or Parker.

    I had Chisora winning but it was a genuinely close fight, I have no problem with the decision, it wasn't a robbery and we didn't get the usual crazy card in a split decision, you know the crazy card I mean, you'll get 115-114, 113-115 and then a 118-110.

    115-113 115-114 Whyte and the 115-114 Chisora was OK.

    Had it for chisora. I agree with the guy that said whyte actually would have gone down in 12. He was held up the ropes. Should have been 10-8.

    Close fight, which Chisora edged.

    Thought chisora won it handily. Never scored the fight but seeing it as a whole chisora was the better man on the night. Hurt whyte far more was a lot more comfortable taking whytes punches than the other way round. Although you could probably make a case either way when you start tallying up the rounds as boxings meant to be scored.

    Honestly think chisoras forever the bridesmaid attitude cost him...everytime he had whyte going almost gone he d go back to the ropes and let whyte come back at him. Understand he was tired but he d just threw 6, 7, 8 solid punches at him. One or two more would have probably got the job done at a few points.

    Both gave a great account of themselves either way...was painful just watching it at times.

    chisora. whyte couldn't really budge him even though chisora shot his load in one of the middle rounds. chisora dominated most of the rounds before that point. even on an empty tank he didn't lose every round after that. he also rocked whyte badly a handful of times.

    I had Chisora winning handily also, but it was a great fight.
