Comments Thread For: Kubrat Pulev Turns Back Dereck Chisora, Wins EBU Crown

[BigZ44]

Is there a source for that mate?

I thought PArker vs Takam winner was going to be in final eliminater to fight for IBF title

My understanding was Pulev will now fight the winner of the Parker/Takam fight for the right to fight Joshua

Serve him to Joshua. He deserves what he gets in that fight after all that clinching.

Chisora did just as much holding as Pulev did.

He got his @ss kicked and that should have been a wide UD -- the Swiss judge must have got an envelope from somebody.

Del Boy's right eye was swollen shut from that lethal left jab of Pulev's by the end of the fight.

Surprised Chisora was not docked points all those rabbit punches and forearms were what they were I guess, desperation in a fight he was thoroughly out classed. 118-110 was the most accurate card.

Chisora I actually felt sorry for when Pulev had him on the ropes he genuinely looked terrified and his demeanour was that of a terrified child, credit to him for digging in but he looked a mess after the fight and a relieved man when the bell rang.

That fight made me respect Chisora, he came in shape for a change and gave it a go for the first time in a good few years. He's probably the same level as Ustinov, Pianeta and Wach he's finally proved he can hang with these Euro level gauging opponents who are a few levels below the top guys like Povetkin, Klitschko and Pulev. He blocked far too many punches with his ugly head again, shame he came up a top five guy tonight as he looked like he was up for it for the first round or two.

Pulev asserted his dominance early like he usually does, I'm sure all the ******ed fan boys will believe Chisora was robbed tonight for some reason unbeknown to only themselves, they'll no doubt be able to take solace in Warren and Hearn cards over the next few weeks where they can take comfort the cards will be officiated by British in house judges and referees.

You're wasting your breath, Chisora did no rabbit punching, no leading with the forearm or head, he boxed out of his skin tonight and was robbed.

Meanwhile, outside of the UK where rational debate is held, it was an exceptionally clear 118-110 for The Cobra. I actually thought Chisora was trying the excessive fouls to find a way out of the fight, I was worried for him during large parts of that fight but fortunately Pulev took his foot of the gas for 2 rounds around 7-8 before turning the screw again in the championship rounds.

Did you hear Chisora say anything to the referee in the sixth like ' I can't do this' ? I thought I heard him say something and he was hoping for the referee to spare him anymore punishment.

Only saw the last round, holy sheeeiiitt how did Chisora stay on his feet.

Yeah kubrat was ibf finalist after this victory, so he is joshua mando next I believe.

No he is not the mando. Winner of Takam/Parker is the mando. This sets up Pulev for a final eliminator. I thought the winner of this fought the winner of Parker/takam but I guess that's not the case. From my understanding this was a semi final eliminator so that tells me there must be another fight. Joshua has a year to give his mando a shot so I would say there is another fight coming & the winner of that will fight Pulev for the next mando spot. I'm just speculating because Pulev would have to wait a long time for his shot.

Chisora won the 6th round in my opinion...

[joe strong]

I had it Pulev 118-110. I gave Chisora rounds 6 & 9 but I thought rounds 1,4 & 10 were close so 116-112 & maybe 115-113 at worst. Pulev won the fight but I was a little ticked at the poor officiating. Pulev was clearly holding too much & the ref did nothing. Both guys were hitting in the back of the head but only Chisora was warned. Pulev showed a great jab & some good skill so he deserved the win. Chisora fought pretty hard & I liked the way he kept the body attack going the entire fight. He lacks the big punch & skillset to beat the top contenders. He is a solid gatekeeper but a fringe guy at best. Both were is good shape & both came to win. I would of liked to see a better ref but the right man won. That being said Pulev holds the left hand dangerously low & could be on his back if he comes up against another big puncher. Klitschko crushed him & I don't see Fury having any troubles with him. He is a solid fighter but I'm not sure he can get past Povetkin, Fury, Wilder or Klitschko. Joshua is not there yet but he could be another road block for Pulev's dreams of a title...

Some of the hardcore Fury supporters credit the 2nd win over Chisora as being some sort of impressive victory and certainly have an interest in Chisora looking like legit comp. Maybe that's it. Hard to tell with some of these weird fkers around here and their strange ways of explaining why certain boxers are great without having proved it yet.

Yeh I get what you're saying, the blow hards will do what they do ie blow hard.

Chisora has been on the decline since one armed Vitali took him to hell. The Fury loss in the rematch versus Chisora was a terrible fight Chisora was clearly there to make sure the bodies never put a hold on his purse he had no interest in trying that night, he just did what he did tonight blocked a record amount of punches with his face.
