Did everyone watch the same fight?....Vitaliy Vs Chisora

So last night I could not watch the fight so I followed the RBR thread on this very forum...From what I read I got the impression that Vitaliy was really struggling... But today I watched the actual fight...for those who want to see it, here it is So http://rutube.ru/tracks/5332719.html?&bmstart=1699008 I was expecting to see Vitaliy have a hard time but what I saw was actually a good fight that was still very one sided in favour the champ. So WTF where some of you watching? Do you really expect the Klitschkos to mop the floor with everyone they face? Just cause Chisora won 3rds, maybe 4, Vlitaliy is old and any old timer would **** him up? Chisora was a live opponent, took his shots well but at the end of the day he did nothing to win the fight. To be honest I wouldnt care if Vit lost the fight, he is old now, not much left to prove...but this fight just proved thanks to the haters that he is still that good. The man looses a couple of rounds to a young bull and he is washed up lol... Watch the fight again, it is nothing like what some of the people on this site wrote. To the haters, by saying that Vitaliy is washed up because he lost 3 or 4 rounds to Chisora you are just proving how good the man is. I thought this was like Manny vs JMM...it wasnt even close to that... The man lost 3 rounds.

It was actually a decent fight that had a few exciting moments, not very common for a Klitscho fight.

Vitali was expected to KO Chisora in the early to mid-rounds, especially after he slapped him. What happened was the opposite, Chisora actually took 3-5 rounds off him and finished the fight stronger. Vitali won the fight clearly, but not easily.

It is one of those situations where a guy wasn't in any danger of losing but really wasn't performing up to expectations. When you get as high in the sport as Vitali is, just beating a guy really isn't enough to impress people unless the guy the guy across from him is also special which Chisora is not. Plus Vitali is getting up there and people want to sound smart by getting ahead of the curve, which is his assumed decline. It makes sense and if someone wants to go back to make a trend line for his last few fights that line would likely be going down to any reasonable observer. Still the level he is at is good enough to beat pretty much anyone out there to me that isn't his brother. In a year that may be different but maybe not.

I havent seen the fight yet, but did Vitali do as well as Fury against Chisora which i did see? Yes. Chisora pressured him but landed very little.

Vitali was clearly uncomfortable, which is something we haven't seen in a long time. Even the rounds Vitali won weren't all completely one sided. It was a good fight, and not many guys give Vitali a good fight.

I don't think we needed yet another thread about this, but no, Vitali wasn't struggling. The British commentary made it sound like Vitali was out of breath and tired, when in fact Vitali fights with his mouth open in all of his fights.

To the haters, by saying that Vitaliy is washed up because he lost 3 or 4 rounds to Chisora you are just proving how good the man is. Pretty pathetic, really. I'm not a fan of the Klitschkos as fighters. I think they're very respectable men; I just don't like watching them fight. But the hate for them runs deep. Actually, the hate for their fans runs deep, and there's monumental eagerness to watch their heroes fall. Hate blinds. Klitschko detractors want to call the shoulder injury an "excuse." They want to focus on the three or fours rounds that Chisora won as evidence that the elder Klitschko isn't "all that," or that he's done. The fact is that an old, one-armed Vitali clearly defeated a younger, determined foe. Desperate, grasping at straws, I tells ya....
