It's not Chisora's friggin fault that the ref is stopping the contest. Guy's just doing his job in there.

The stoppage was just weird. It looked as though Pala just went for a little rest on the turnbuckle.

Writing was on the wall for pala IMO
I think del would give any heavy weight problems if he turns up in shape and fired up
Wilder vs del would be a Classic or even a rematch with fury

Originally posted by Weebler I View PostIt was the punch landing above the ear which put Scott down. It was only a matter of time anyway, Chisora was walking him down. Same for Gerber who was getting beat up.
This one is more legitimately controversial, though. Technically, again, the rules favor Chisora. You turn your back on an opponent, and ref can call tko. It was a weird stoppage though, Pala seemed to propel himself out of position as much as turn his back, and he'd won the prior two rounds (again a change from the Scott fight, where people claimed Scott was winning but Chisora was dramatically outlanding him and landing the harder punches). Wlad got himself out of position in the Povetkin fight and technically turned his back on Povetkin in maybe the 12th round. It obviously would have been absurd to stop that fight, so clearly you shouldn't call it any time it happens, and I think it was a bad stoppage in this fight. A rematch demand here is actually much more fair than with Scott.

Originally posted by andrewa1 View PostAgreed on that, and in general, I was a defender of the Scott result. Scott wasn't ready to go in a position to defend himself, despite the ref screaming at him to get him moving. I couldn't understand the uproar about that stoppage, Scott should have effin gotten up.

I had it 1-1, felt Chisora took the first, Pala the second.
