Comments Thread For: Derek Chisora Ends Losing Streak, Edges Kubrat Pulev To Secure Split Decision Win

[Poeticman7]

watched it in the end - a scrappy fight which most all Chisora fights are. He is not easy to nail clean - his head movement is exceptional - probably his best attribute along with engine.

Bring on fights with Babic and Lucas Browne

Now this is fun and realistic. I don't want to see Old Man Chisora get laid to rest by Dubois.
That doesn't even make sense anymore.
I want to see Chisora war against old men like himself.
Lucas Browne would make a perfect adversary for an exciting night.

I will watch the fight as soon as possible but i said several times that evenly matched aging HWs can often give the fans a good scrap. I used Michael Grant & Francois Botha as an example. Sounds like this was another one of those fights…

Well done Del by 3 rounds! A rematch with Pulev would fill the 02 and bring the caviar, no silly stuff Del deserves good money and reasonable fights ..without the killers!
Well done Edward but pay him more!!!

I'd like to see the winner of Andy Ruiz vs Luis Ortiz against Chisora.

Great fight, to me this was a watershed fight... A pivetal moment in the division. We have Pulov, the amateur pedigree, who throws arm shots with the occasional big shot, a guy who refuses to fight inside at all, because he cannot. A guy who has no footwork to speak of... Then we have Del Boy who fights all ranges and has professional chops that run away from the limited aspects that Pulov represents. Del Boy had nice body movement, from the shoulders, and with pursuits. He used body shots all night to hurt the Bulgarian... Pulov will forever think twice about grabbass after this fight because he will be too sore to grabass.

I don't score fights so don't get me wrong about what the judges determine... what I saw? Del Boy was spectacular. Never stopped going to the body and seldom stopped moving his head. Hit with the bigger punches and made sure Pulov was bereft because Pulov was constantly attacked to the body. Del Boy looked spectacular and showed older school chops fighting in all ranges and landing 70% or so, of the telling shots. Del Boy will never be mistook for a great fighter but his chops get better and better... If only youth was not wasted on the young lol.

I think, given this weak division at the top, Del Boy is a threat to all... He knows how to pressure and has gotten more technically sound at body punching and shoulder movement. I hear him and would welcome a fight with Wilder. Wilder likes em going backwards... How will he handle a guy who presses forwards and ****s to the body? Ortiz is not a body puncher and that may have cost him dearly in his Wilder fights...

Derrick said he had a few more in him and I for one will not dispute him! Great effort glad the judges for the most part saw it right.

I didn’t see a close fight at all. Giving Pulev 4 rounds is generous. He did not let his hands go and he didn’t learn much clean over the entire fight. Chisora’s well is possibly the deepest in the entire sport. He looks like he’s about to have a heart attack one minute into the fight but somehow he keeps going, wading in and throwing hard punches up to the final bell.

Excellent analysis. Chisora never stopped going to the body and seldom stopped moving his walrus head and shoulders. If I were a judge I would consider strategy and the fact that Chisora ****** and took power away with those body shots and Pulov had no answer to them.

WACK JOB ANALYSIS
1. Chisora must suck to fight. He is relentless and you can never take a break.
2. Anyone that scored this fight in the first viewing and also watched it to enjoy it should watch again. You cannot do both!
3. They were in love in round 1. Was it the worst round of B level boxing ever? How could that awkward nature be present when neither was a southpaw.
4. Round 1-4 - if Pulev missed a jab, he opened his blanket to welcome his lover home.
5. Pulev forgot to use his whole body to throw shots. His flat feet made his shots lack effect round after round. This foreshadowed the future of the rounds.
6. Chisora is the commentator’s cousin. Nobody can commentate and score at the same time, so please stay unbiased.
7. Chisora’ ahead movement nullified so many shots.
8. Credit goes to Pulev for making adjustments in the middle rounds.
9. You have to wonder in the middle rounds if Chisora’s body work is wasted.
10. Rounds 6-9; Chisora would have potentially ended the night if it wasn’t for Pulev’s jab. There were 40 times when Chisora was about to unload and Pulev stuck him before he could get set.
11. Any strategy by Chisora that would involve waiting to land the big shot was wasted. His biggest shots were eaten with no impact.
12. All praise should be given to two old men not letting off the gas pedal.
13. All hail the body shot!!!!

Cause Usyk was also with matchroom, but this is Usyks last fight with matchroom now so the fix will be in, the scorecards are already filled in for AJ to win
