The ref should just have blasted a chair over Wilders head, the bias was next level. Honestly these UK refs should be banned they are the worst. Chisora was hurt and just called a time out and the ref allowed it to happen this was worse than the Davis vs Roach situation. Then during the knockout his trainer helps him back up to get in the ring and to make it complete the ref takes a point from Wilder for a push. Not going to mention that technically it could have been a DQ when Chisoras Coached rushed into the ring.
All that being said Chisora is a warrior but needs to retire too much punishment absorbed. Wilder needs to retire as well he is a shell of himself he once was incredibly explosive and his power came from his speed and that is completely gone.
This is probably the best Wilder`s win ever since first Stieverne fight. Finally he beat somebody on the cards.
Both Ortiz wins have been his best by far. Ortiz was underrated himself. It's sad to see how shot Wilder is and how him being so delusional does not allow him to see it and call it a day.
This is exactly what Wilder needed. He still needs more activity to perfect his timing, right hand, jabs to the body and check hooks, but the full twelve rounds helped him to fight off the cobwebs. As he himself said, he wanted three fights last year, but only got one.
Chisora was nothing short of a warrior with neverending aggression, sneaky overhand rights, solid body shots and a great chin.
Luckily, the right man got the decision in enemy territory, with the fake point deduction in round 8 and fake knockdown call in round 11...
