Not a bad fight this one. First two were great. I had Chisora nicking the first and had him miles up in the second before the KO (watched it during a day sesh so may be wrong).
Clear off and go and colour in your Deontay Wilder scrapbook. If he had defended against Butterbean, you would probably come up with some stats to justify it.
Ah ok. RE: Hrgovic - don’t you think context is important? He’s probably the main example of ‘high risk low reward’ in the division at the moment, even after the Zhang fight. When you factor that in, it’s easy to see why lots of fighters don’t jump at the chance to fight him. Especially with how irregular HW fights are.
The one Fury landed which put pudding Whyte on Bambi legs. Wilder was dropped once in 43 fights prior to Fury 2. How many times was Wlad dropped by low level journeymen? Actually, Wlad got stopped by a journeyman. Who has Ruiz ever knocked down 4 times in a fight aside from Joshua? Who has he ever stopped. A nice collection of glass chinned bums. Ortiz (KO'd Jennings in 7, Allen in 7, Cojanu in 2, Thompson in 6, Page in 8) was a power puncher. Fury (KO'd Cunningham in 7, Chisora x2 in 10, Hammer in 8, Whyte in 6) has a massive KO threat when he wants to fight that way. Stiverne (KO'd Arreola in 6) was a better puncher than nearly anyone Joshua's fought. Even guys like Duhaupas and Washington stopped Helenius and in Washington's case Forrest too, which would clearly be the best KO wins on the records of Takam and Parker. In Joshua's last 9 fights he's fought one moderate KO threat (Povetkin), and he's still managed to lose three times. You put Breazeale on the same level as Takam prior to Wilder fighting him Mitch. Don't make me dig those posts up. The referee was constantly breaking up the action against Parker, giving the stamina-challenged Joshua plenty of rest so he could go 12 rounds for the first time. It was a common complaint about the fight, don't pretend otherwise. It shows how vulnerable Joshua was that they were pulling out all the stops against a tame gatekeeper like Parker. You don't know how to judge records, I'll help you: Wilder did significantly better against Helenius than Chisora and Whyte Breazeale than Joshua and Wallin post-Wilder Fury than Wlad Stiverne than Joyce post-Wilder 2 Arreola than Vitali Duhaupas and Washington than Miller post-Wilder Scott than Chisora and Ortiz post-Wilder Firtha than Povetkin and Fury Liakhovich, Szpilka and Ortiz than Jennings Manswell than Chagaev Morales, Liakhovich, Arreola and Ortiz than Ruiz post-Wilder
If you're going to trash boxers at least trash those who don't make a real effort to win. I'm not so partisan as to be a moron. I've got no problem admitting that many of Wilder's defences were soft. But let's drop the pretence that Takam, Pulev and Parker (among others) were killers, they had even less chance than Duhaupas given their styles, punching power, attributes etc.
Yet you regard beating no KO's or KD's against his best 10 opponents Takam as an achievement, it's completely arbitrary with you.
Never and wouldn’t ever say they were killers and didn’t call you a moron. Now stop eating your crayons.
It’s banter bud, we are all good. I do find your love of defending Wilders horrendous 10 defences of the green and gold odd though. I think he’s terrible, however just my opinion. Lucky for him, he has that raw power.
Chisora seriously shouldn’t be fighting anymore and Dillian Whytes punch resistance has completely gone Sign me up.
It's a great fight, unfinished business. The second one was 70-30 for Whyte but he's now past his prime while Chisora has maintained his form so it's now a true pick em fight.
It's a good fight if it is not PPV. If it is PPV though it is a joke. I would prefer people like Whyte and Parker to face the unbeaten heavyweights like Hrgovic, Sanchez, Makhmudov, Anderson etc instead of against each other. I can see the winner facing the winner of Joseph Parker against Demsey Mckean.
"The first fight was brilliant" - Yeah that was getting on for six and a half years ago "The second fight was good too" - That was four and a half years ago Jesus Christ, these guys are totally shot. I don't know how many times I've said it but have you ever been in a fried chicken shop in London at around 3am and all of a sudden a couple of wannabe gangsters kick off? That's these two, Chicken Corner Brawlers, they're rubbish. This won't be entertaining, it will be the same overdone build up, same crap beef, same stupid voices, stupid faces, stupid haircuts, stupid fake personas and at the end of it we'll have two lumps swinging wildly and gassing. Whyte was getting outboxed by Chisora in the second one ffs. I can't handle watching another overhand right from Chisora, he has one win in his last 5 and that was a total gift.
