Comments Thread For: Photos: Dereck Chisora With Controversial TKO of Pala

[have_not]

the ref should have given pala a standing count and warned chisora about hitting in the back of the head.

Chisora looked quite bad IMO, slow and flat footed.. Hopefully he picks it up next year. Good to see him back on a winning streak though, however not impressive.

Man I like Delboy and am happy with the win eventhough, yeah, the stoppage was awkward. I still feel that Delboy was getting the better of him in that round before the stoppage and was landing at will, I can understand why the ref stopped it. I also feel that Delboy performs way better in big fights and tends to be a bit more lazy in small caliber fights. Anyway, WAR DERECK.

That was the biggest rabbit punch ever. Even Sam Peter would be impressed.

That was a bit strange. I mean, the way he turned his back and just stood there, maybe the ref thought he was out on his feet. I think it should have gone on, but I'm not gonna get too worked up over this. Pala shouldn't have turned his back to him like that.

Only weird thing is that turning your back is grounds for losing the fight via DQ, not TKO

A minor technicality

The only person Pala can blame for what happened is HIMSELF. He was doing great in the first 2 rounds, but unfortunately on the 3rd he gave the ref the impression that the fight needed to be stopped.

I agree, he was also leaning over the post not moving, he could have been out on his feet for all the ref knew.

yea,,,,cant totally blame the ref on that one
