I scored Chisora vs. Vitali a DRAW

[captainanddew]

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.

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.

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.

I had it something like Vitali 9-3 in rounds, and that's being generous to Chisora who wasn't landing many effective punches.

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

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.

Come on! We love Mayorga for the very same stuff!

If Vitali hadnt rammed his forehead in to Chisoras face, Chisora wouldnt have slapped him (maybe)

What did Wlad think he was doing trying to intimidate Chisora in the ring before the fight? Chisora is like a dog, dont make eye contact As for Haye, he threw the first shot and even hit his own trainer
