Tyson Fury - Derick Chisora fight thread

Dereck Chisora has to have the KO, Fury must have it on the cards. Lots of holding from Fury for this last one I reckon!

No other way.

what did we learn?

Both rubbish
Fury can't punch for shit. Chisora was too tubby to fight at pace for 12.

Very entertaining fight, Tyson must have won by at least 4 rounds. I'd like to see it again though, with Chisora coming in 20lbs lighter. Ridiculous that he outweighed Tyson Fury.

Good effort from both men though. Much better than that other heavyweight fight recently.

Should credit the judges too, very good scoring this time.

Reminded me of Martin Rogan v Matt Skelton - great domestic dust up by two guys who want to fight, and it did a lot more than some of the dullest fights at the top level of the heavyweights.

"Damn. You sure did dodge a bullet with Chisora there"

I wonder why a 6ft 1in guy felt it necessary to come in weighing 263 lbs?

He needs to drop at least 25 lbs; maybe even 35 lbs.

Chisora is lucky that Fury couldn't knock out a greenfly, otherwise they'd still be scraping his blubber off the walls of Wembley Arena.

I think Al Bernstein had the scoring right. I had Chisora getting three, Fury getting the rest, and should work out to be a good win for Fury.

Not exactly a superb win, and Fury showing he has weaknesses, but a few defences then a step up to Euro, as long as he's still learning then it's a good win for him. Still blinking a lot and backing off with his chin out.

Scores: 117-112; 117-112; 118-111. And the new....

Nice one tyson.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

well then. I will be catching up with you gay boys in the wee small hours.

Good learning fight for Fury, he mixes his shots up well. The only problem I have with him is that ear muff defence like Audley and Jones Jr use. When your that tall and bolt up right in front of your opponent (as opposed to bending down, bobbing and weaving and moving your feet) its just an open invite to your opponent to work away.

I dont think he was hurt as much as panicked because he hasnt been put under that much pressure before. I do think he has some good promise.

I think for a 21 year old kid he's doing well. Hope he doesn't go for the money fight with Wlad next, he's too raw for that.

But he fought well tonight. I really want to see that again. Chisora took a leaf out of James Toney's book coming in fat and out of shape. It may have been a different fight had he been in top shape.

Tyson clearly saw this as the fight of his life and trained accordingly.Chisora seemed to take it as a gimme fight after his Wlad adventures and clearly didn't prepare to his best.

Let's have a rematch!

[Kev]

haha a freakishly tall, not too bright, awkward and mouthey pikey has now found Jesus Christ.

He's a character for sure.

Becoming one of my favourite fighters right now.

What I found interesting was Fury's abilty to fight inside, for someone with such long arms it's unusual. Not that many of Fury's inside punches had any power, but they're always going to stop the smaller guy wanting to fire.

Fury also was good on his feet stepping back away from punches, blocking many by keeping his arms outstretched. Much like Wlad does I think Manny Steward has tought him the basics.

Although Furys punching is still quite sloppy, I know having such long arms and being so big must make power punching difficult and exhausting, but if he can't fix it he's going nowhere.

Chisora sure can punch, reminds me of a crap Joe Frazier, but he got what he deserved and any boxer deserves for coming in a porker!
