Why? If they think there was no controversy why a rematch then? I dont care who it is but bad decision in this sport is ruining boxing and a rematch/Win for Helenius is not going to make things better.

I've been LOL'ing for months @ so many people actually buying in to Helenius being legit.

Nice vid

Finland should be banned from staging that level of boxing, disgusting decision, Helenius got ruined.

Dan, in that case we'd also have to ban Britain, Germany & the USA from staging fights. Those three, among others, have all had their fair share of shocking decisions.

Heck of a fight, I thought Chisora won15-13, but not much of a stretch to say Helenius by same margin. High action fight, was too pleasantly surprised in the level it was contested to slam a split decision. Chisoras chin held up to shots nobody thought he'd take, hopefully it's like vitalis loss to lennox, as good as a win.

Chisora really deserved that fight. A rematch can't make up for that, it's hard to believe he'd be able to do it again.

Sauerland, why dont you get it to a no contest to get that loss off of Chisora's record that shouldnt exist? Better yet re-imburse me the £50 I put on Chisora knowing he was going to outbox your fighter.. even better than that at 4-1 send me my winnings too - £200 profit plus my £50 I bet. If you can do all those things theres at least one former boxing fan that would come back to the sport. Others get screwed.

When you bet on a fight going the distance, you're not betting on the winner of the fight - you're betting on the decision.

**** Arreola vs Klitschko. That's another boring mismatch. Bring on Arreola vs Chisora. I would guarantee it would be one of the best heavyweight fights in years.

I simply bet on Chisora to win. Which he did. But I see no return on my investment/bet as Sauerland decided to screw Chisora and put a loss on his record he never deserved. You could struggle to give helenius 4 rounds from 12 and two judges gave him more rounds than Chisora?! Freddie Roach gave it 118-110 in favour of Chisora!! Come on now. This 'promotional company' are making boxing out to be a farce at a time where it has serious competition from things like MMA - get Sauerland OUT of the sport and stop the injustices. The man didnt put his health on the line to get screwed and have a loss on his record he should never have had. Blatent disrespect.

OMG I just looked at the punch stats, he even outjabbed Helenius. Chisora was two connected punches off of doubling Helenius' total landed punches. How has anybody scored this fight even close? The shorter boxer by about 5 inches landing more jabs through the entire fight! Bye boxing, Promo companies like Sauerland are killing you and leaving 'fans' disgusted and uninterested.

He's stepped up to fight non-journeymen, unlike...well.....you know
