Comments Thread For: Chisora Fights Through Fire, Sensational Knockout of Takam

[Tyistall]

I think Wilder’s a **** boxer, but in fairness, it’s very difficult to be a huge sporting draw in the U.S. It’s a country of 350 million people and it’s sporting market is highly, highly competitive where boxing is almost considered a niche activity these days when pitted against the might of the NFL, the NBA, MLB, even the NHL. And that’s not even including the college variants of the sports I’ve mentioned, UFC, NASCAR, etc, etc.

My point being that it’s probably easier to be a bigger draw in the UK.
But yeah, at least Chisora and Takam have tried to fight decent opponents.

Tyson, Lewis, Ali and many other boxers never had a problem filling the arena. But then again, Ali fought the best guys over the course of 2 decades. Lewis cleaned out everyone in the 90's. Tyson fought a lot of guys too. Hell, go back and look at the fight films when Jack Dempsey fought. They MADE arenas to hold enough people for his fights. But Wilder, he fights bums that no one has heard of and thats why he will never fill the arenas. And when he gets a chance to fight someone good, like Whyte, Klitschko, AJ,...he always has a reason or ten as to why he cannot fight them. But he will gladly go and fight another bum for 1 million hahah. THA'S the real reason no one wants to come see him fight.

Chisora was beat by all those names. It doesn't count unless he wins. He got in the ring with the Kiitch and they carried him out. How are you going to brag about that?

At least he has fought them. Wilder has one name on his record of 41+ fights. One. And yet you idiots claim he's an all time great hahahahaha

While Chisora is certainly a gatekeeper at this stage in his career, he's bloody good entertainment value. The dude is making a habit of fighting wars - how many brain cells will he end up with?

Takam is a tough nut, he threw the kitchen sink at Chisora.

You must be fun at parties.

just me, my bong and my bass guitar, yes sir. lots of fun!

[Plick647]

What was wrong with the ref? Don't tell me, he stopped it too soon even though Takam was down for about 3 minutes?

Hahahahaha.

Take a walk, man.

no sir, it was the low blows, the roughhousung, the hitting behind the head, all the stuff the ref DIDNT call

Good win for Chisora, and he needed that.

That was an incredible fight! Takam did well, great win for Chisora!

It really was an incredible fight. Two very tough guys, all takam is missing is power, if he had that he could be the champ. At 37 he looks in remarkable shape and remains as tough as old boots. Still a force in the division in my view and he must be worth his weight in gold as a sparring partner from what Haye said in commentary.

Chisora is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. On his day he's got a heart he size of London, other times he doesn't want to be there and may as well not show up. On Saturday we got the good Chisora, but he had to go through the depths of hell before he finally put Takam away.

I know there are better technical fights but that one had everything I love about hw boxing. Contender for Foty when that time comes around. Much respect to both men.
