I scored Chisora vs. Vitali a DRAW
Had Chisora winning 6 rounds, as did my Brother. Watched it very carefully, and there were many close rounds, but I ultimately came up with Chisora taking 6 of the 12 rounds. It was a bit like the Larry Holmes vs. Evander Holyfield fight, the underdog didn't win, but he fought to a draw on my card.
Vitali did NOT use his jab (possibly due to injury), he laid on the ropes a lot, and did not clinch nearly as much as usual. Thus, he got pressured and outworked in the rounds I scored for Chisora.
I have no problem with Vitali winning 115-113 or even 116-112 as many of the rounds were very close. But, I felt he commentators were extremely bias towards Vitali, with the exception of Freddie Roach. Fat Dan was all over Vitali's nuts and blind to any success Chisora was having.
Re: I scored Chisora vs. Vitali a DRAW
everyone I have talked to thought Vitali won a vast majority of the rounds. The rounds were competitive but Chisora didn't do enough in alot of the rounds.
Re: I scored Chisora vs. Vitali a DRAW
I think I had Vitali ahead by about 3/4 rounds, what ever that equates too.. Our British team scored it fairly.
The WBC not announcing the scores when they were supposed to (the 2nd time around) was a bit dubious...

Good for you
there is alot of american boxing writers that scored the fight 8-4 or 9-3 for Vitali. That seemed to be the consensus on twitter. Rafael's 10-2 card was a bit much.
Re: I scored Chisora vs. Vitali a DRAW
I felt it was pretty close. I seem to remember rounds 5,6 and 7 Chisora seemed to be pushing Vitali back all the time and I expected the scores to have closed right up after 8.
Vitali won, he landed the more accurate shots, and more of them, but he didn't look impressive and Chisora came out of the fight looking absolutely like a top 10 fighter.
I'd love to see Chisora vs Haye.

8-4 is okay with me. But, anything more I think is a bit crazy, def short selling Chisora.
I'd also like to say I thought Chisora behaved like a complete punk and cunt before the fight and the Klitschko Brothers showed class and behaved like gentleman.
Re: I scored Chisora vs. Vitali a DRAW
I had it something like Vitali 9-3 in rounds, and that's being generous to Chisora who wasn't landing many effective punches.
Re: I scored Chisora vs. Vitali a DRAW
Vitali landed more punches in every round
Its one of those fights where the guy winning the fight is so negative and unwilling to have a fight it becomes annoying so you are willing the other guy to win
Scoring then becomes bias
I wanted chisora to win before the fight, the negative appraoch by vitali during the fight made me want chisora to win even more
If i am honest 10-2 to vitali is a lot more realistic than 6-6

I wish you and your brother were among the official judges my Mrs would have made a tidy return on her 50/1 bet.;D
Re: I scored Chisora vs. Vitali a DRAW
I had it 115-113 Vitali. Close fight and Vitali looked bad in there. He seemed to be slapping alot of his punches . He doesn't look as strong as 2 years ago
Re: I scored Chisora vs. Vitali a DRAW
It turns out Vitali suffered the same injury to his left shoulder he had in the Chris Byrd fight. I still had winning by a wide margin. Hulk, this is one of the more ridiculous posts, you've had in a while, bud.
