Vitali Klitschko v Dereck Chisora Chat Thread

[armin]

117-111 a pretty dominant win points win for anyone else, but were so used to not seein vitali lose a round or having to work as hard as he did to win that were thinking he might have to hang em up soon...don't think he got old its just that his punches aren't as powerful as they used to be and chisora had no quit in him, but vitalis body will give in sooner rather than later so maybe one or two more n call it quits

He looked fine in his last fight against Adamek. I think Chisora just had an irritating style for him and pressed him throughout the fight. All the other fighters that fight the Klits usually hang back and take the punishment. Its the first time in a while I have seen someone walk them down and not be afraid of them.
Respect to Chesora. For the fight, not the antics.

I had the fight close had it been in the UK, Vitali would have won 7 -5. Chisora got a good chin and fought a good fight but was not busy enough inside and did not let his hands go enough. Vitali was shattered at the end, think that is his hardest fight since Lewis. Vitali looked robotic and threw a lot of arm punches.

Chisora put on a good show for only having 17 fights. I really think that the Chisora who fought Vitali would probably get the ko against Vlad. If not Haye then where does Vitali go from here? How about a D Wilder vs Chisora and Vitali vs B Stiverne?

Was Vitali's hand discovered to be injured? Fat Dan Rafael suggest it was during the Epix broadcast of the fight, which made sense, given that he stopped throwing it with frequency after the opening round.

did anyone post the punch stats yet? Klitschko vs Chisora - CompuBox Stats, low jab output and accuracy from vitali didnt think chisora was that hard to hit, i suppose it is possible he hurt his hand but its not like boxers not to mention an injury as soon as possible...

45% accuracy from chisora, a small guy could be that vitali is getting old now not avoiding as many punches as before..

infact going from that link vitali pretty much threw and landed half the amount of jabs in this fight than his previous, might just be del boys style that caused this though

I knew this would happen, people saying Vitali got old...

No! Chisora is just the first opponent in a long while that makes any attempt to avoid being hit and move his head. He also has a good work rate. This is what Vitali struggled with, being made to work!

Had Chisora been brought on a bit more rather than being offered a Wlad fight so soon in his career. This stunted it, took away any momentum and learning. Then when it was taken away from him it stopped him putting his heart in to the Fury fight which is a bit of a come down, which is entirely his own fault. Had Chisora gone down the more traditional prospect route and fought some old names he may have got some more experience and beaten Vitali last night. He certainly gave him a tougher foght than anyone since Lewis. I think Chisora will get a fight with Wlad after maybe a Haye fight and I think he beats both
