War the boz!!!! (Povetkin - Boswell/Helenius - Chisora)

[CFH]

Helenius nicks the last round IMO.

9-3 Chisora. Can't see it any closer that 8-4 and there is no way Helenius deserves the decision.

[CFH]

Robbery.

[Onix]

Split decision victory is always the first sign of some BS but at least they didnt give him a blow out.

Best heavyweight fight in a while

[erics44]

I scored it 11-1


I cant remember a worse decision

Crackin fight fuckin aweful decision

[CFH]

Okay, if you gave every close round to Helenius it would be what, 7-5 Chisora?

[armin]

Wow I just woke up, haha, and missed the fight. was it more do to with helenius looking shit and like he hadn't trained, or chisora looking really good and even if helenius was on his a game he wouldnt be able to do it? Sucks they robbed chisora from sounds of it

It was both.

Chirosa was pressuring Helenius from the outset and that didn't let Helenius fight at range or get off his punches.

Chisora was hitting the body from the outset, and I think that really hurt Helenius too.

[Beanz]

The referee was a disgrace.Close but del boy won.Trouble is without the European belt fury will avoid a rematch.Chisora is so brave, a relentless throwback but can't punch hard enough to get a big lump like helenius out of there.

[erics44]

I reckon when your scoring fights people can be kind to fighters


So they have a half decent round after losing a few they get the nod even if they dont really do enough

Being brutally honest helenius won one round, he had a decent 2nd but not good enough to win, he won t,he 8th, chisora clearly won the rest

[CFH]

I'm actually inclined to believe Helenius about his right hand. Would explain why he didn't throw it much.

Still, doesn't change the fact that Chisora should have won.

Maybe he did have a bad hand,

But someone who was seen as he biggest challenge to the klits loses 11 out of 12 rounds against chisora?

No rational person saw, or sees, Helenius as a real threat to either Klitschko. He might be some day, but he's still little more than a prospect IMO.

Helenius-Chisora shows how exciting the heavyweight division can be if more prospects and boxers with good records are matched against each other. An absolute war for 36 minutes, normally ending with a robbery. But robberies aren't interesting anymore, since we have one almost every week. I would like to see Povetkin against Fury or Dimitrenko

[captainanddew]

scored it 9-3 Chisora. as a yank I have no fighter in this one. I think closest that would have been acceptable would have been 8-4 Chisora.

Chisora got inside on Helenius and went to the body starting very early. It took alot of Helenius.

Helenius didn't seem to like the pace. Too fast for him. Chisora didn't allow him to fight at the methodical pace he likes.

Helenius would try to jab but he was not doing so with alot of snap on it. While other fighters Helenius has faced will stay back and just move away from the jab, Chisora just went past it and came on in.

I hate today's fighters (especially HWs). Guys throw a jab and the opponent (even if not hit) backs away. Chisora did what you should do, when a jab misses, get your ass in there and counter. Go forward. Show aggression.


Helenius looked poor, Chisora looked very energetic, aggressive, and better stamina than you normally see from him.

The Chisora that was in there tonight wins a rematch with Fury. That is what I'd ask for if I was Chisora. You aren't going to get Helenius to a neutral location to fight, and you can't get a decision in Helenius hometown, so why fight him again....

[Nameless]

Under any angle of the stitches, I can't see how Helenius could win a split... 9-3 at very best for Chisora, it's a disgrace but Germany is apparently familiar with that kind of home cook verdict.
