Was Fury-Chisora really that bad?

IMO the Eubanks Jr V Saunders fight was the best one on that card. Everyone is of that opinion.

I was too drunk to even remember the fight cos it came on at like fukin 1 in the morning even though it was staged in London :lol1: I have texts on my phone telling my mate that Chisora looked shot to bits. Something didn't seem right about him. Fury was also apparently carrying a virus so he deserves credit for his performance.

I was there and left before the fight finished because it was a snoozer

correction. slap slap slap slap slap. hilarious when the reff was teaching fury how to jab "peeleft: Fury had been watching a lot of the old Joe Calslappy tapes before that fight.

It was jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab...nothing else from Fury. correction. slap slap slap slap slap. hilarious when the reff was teaching fury how to jab "peeleft:

He tried though, during the first 4-5 rds. Fury tired and demotivated him with his weight and roughing up. Every round basically looked the same for Chisora. The most simplest way to put it is that he just didn't want to be there that night. It looks as if the fire in Chisora is gone. Even in the build up to the fight he didn't seem his usual self. The guy usually behaves like a mad man eg kissing carl baker, slapping vitali, spitting on Wlad, brawling with Haye, having to be kept apart with a steel fence in the build up to his match with Haye. Where was any of that during this campaign? You'd expect him to pull out something spectacular against his bitter rival but he was just calm. Looks like the beast in Chisora has been tamed.

Boring in the sense that a decent big man will always beat a decent little man...Chisora did not have the skills or know-how on how to get inside on someone with an 85 inch reach and 6ft9. Even Vitali has a 79/80 inch reach and shorter and that's a big difference, and he still got dominated there by a one armed old fighter. Chisora seemed to throw the towel in early and just kept walking forward thinking an opportunity would somehow open itself up to him...the hungriness of actually throwing and causing inside trouble seemed to be beat out of Chisora. When you have a fight with such a disparity in physical dimensions, and when even worse one fighter is giving up or shows he doesn't have the knowledge to change his tactics...it's a poor spectacle, a mismatch...in other words not interesting to watch, or boring. Unless you're a Fury fan.

in my opinion, yes, it was. fury didnt look a fighter that would trouble klitchko. or stiverne. or wilder.

Sad thing is, Chisora usually does deliver the entertainment. Maybe that's why people were so disappointed. He tried though, during the first 4-5 rds. Fury tired and demotivated him with his weight and roughing up.

the reason people hated this fight is because it didn't deliver the fireworks both guys promised and the sad reality is, very few fighters these days even live up to their own hype of a match up. There's the rarity of Khan or Pacquiao who actually go out to try and do what they do. Long gone are the days of Ali Duran and Leonard. Sad thing is, Chisora usually does deliver the entertainment.

Adapt to what? Chisora showed little interest (or ability) in landing anything. It was like a sparring session. This right here. ^.

Fury was flicking the southpaw jab which made it like look he was just relaxing through the motions, the ref told him thankfully, but still chisora never once looked like he'd bother him. Just looked like a spar for fury, chisora didn't look hungry for it.

It was an extremely boring fight, that in every way failed to live up to the pre fight hype. It proved that a HW fight doesn't need excessive clinching to be a snoozefest. Come on man, it was no snooze fest.

Adapt to what? Chisora showed little interest (or ability) in landing anything. It was like a sparring session. In terms of changing his own style during a fight. Chisora tried different Things to get on the inside, lateral movement, land the overhand right a few times. Fury answered everything and Chisora never really got through except managed to go to the body with some good shots, with no effect though. Fury even stood in front of him and traded shots on Chisoras terms. He adapted to everything in this sense. He didnt just have one game plan. This is where I give Fury credit, especially considering the size difference.

Fury using great technical and tactical ability to completely lock off Chisora Chisora tends to be awkward to hit clean more than once so it went easy for fury to unload However fury has caused a ton of damage to chisoras eyes to the extent that he now has to see a specialist and then make the decision whether to continue his career if that isn't made for him by the specialist Who else has done that to chisora exactly? Who else can switch effectively, control distance and be light on their feet at that weight AND still win big fights? Then you get people saying Anthony Joshua is super exciting by beating the hell out of some old dude who hasn't trained and has no intention of throwing a shot back and no concept of defence. That to me is distasteful never mind boring

Fury will demolish Dr Steelhammer, forcing Iron Fist to come out of retirement in an attempt to avenge his brother's loss. :firedevil:headbang: This is the stuff movies are made out of. Wlad would clinch and hug Fury all night long -- until catches him with that left hook.

It was crap because most expected a better showing from Chisora but it looks as if Chisora may be finished.
