Overall, I was impressed with Vitali. His superior technique, punch accuracy, and defense won him the fight. Dereck had sooooo many problems to hit Vitali and Vitali's right hand couldn't miss. I haven't seen the CompuBox stats, but my impression from watching is that Vitali landed 60-70% of...

Guys, I am an absolute *diehard* boxing fan and I have been for all of my life. I'm 23, and Ive been following the sport religously since I was about 10. So, for 13 years I have been following this sport very closely. First of all, I didn't watch the fight live, I was working so I caught a...

Day of the fight and just wanted to say: Lets Go Vitali! :)

Fully agree on that and that is precisely why this mental tactic of Chisora will be a failure. The full story will be told tomorrow and I don`t reckon today`s slap will help Chisora at all. On the contrary, I would suspect it actually harms Chisora`s chances somewhat for tomorrow. You...

Some great points you make. However, I don`t really like WWE. I love boxing and sometimes when this stuff happens it just gets me more excited for a fight. Anyways, great points you make, thank you.

We can politely disagree. :) My point was simply that these kinds of things happen in boxing and its part of the sport. But some examples would be: Tyson Fury assaulting Dereck Chisora at arena before their fight Bernard Hopkins slapping Winky Wright in the face before their fight Erik...

Lets Go Vitali!!! Its so unfortunate I wont be able to watch this fight live :( Id really love to see this one.

Fair enough we can agree to disagree. My point is simply that, race aside, I take no issue with prefight slaps or prefight `mind games`. Its part of the sport and it helps to separate the champions (Vitali) from the non-champions (Helenius... Chisora`s mind games actually helped him a bit in...

Understand this is boxing. Fighting sport. Its not golf. If you want two guys to be friendly and hold hands before a fight, maybe watching golf would be a better choice. This is boxing. Prefight slaps are part of the game and everyone knows that.

Yes I agree, its nice to see when two fighters conduct themselves like gentlemen before a fight. However boxing is a combat sport and very often the guys involved will have high tempers, be a bit violent etc. This is to be expected. I think a prefight punch would be taking things too far...

I certainly won't defend a Negro, but in my own opinion, fighters should be given leeway to conduct their pre fight strategy however they like. Chisora is doing prefight what he thinks will give him the best chance to win the fight. There is nothing wrong with that and some white fighters do...

ALSO, these kind of prefight brawls and antics always get me so much more excited for a fight, lol. Hey this is the fight business. I actually don't take so much issue with Chisora's behaviour. This is boxing. You should expect this before the fight and its kind of what makes the sport what...

On the one hand, I understand Chisora's behaviour. For his part he is trying to do what he needs to do to win the fight. He obviously feels like he can gain some sort of mental advantage by slapping Vitali, and perhaps throw Vitali off his gameplan. He actually did this same routine with...

Unfortunately I am working at the day and time of the fight :cry:, so I will not be able to watch it live. That really sucks because I was massively looking forward to this one. What I do is when I come home, don't go on to boxing sites and I go to youtube and try to watch the fight without...

I'm really looking forward to this fight, Vitali/Chisora. Massive credit should be given to Vitali for fighting the best available opposition. He took the fight with historic alltime great Lennox Lewis on short notice. Then he came out of retirement to face an in-his-prime, Sam Peter (who at...

What a tremendous professional debut. Certainly, the highest level of opposition Ive seen in a Pro Debut in quite a long time. I'm struggling to think of the last time a fighter fought a world title challenger in their pro debut. Excellent result for Rozhnov :)

Sometimes when a guy takes some punches, and comes back to win by KO the next round. That is a good thing, because it shows he can deal with adversity and deal with a "live" opponent. I thought it was a decent performance from Magomed. Yes, there's room for improvement (there always is...

My thoughts on Magomed Abdusalamov and his last fight (KO 2 Rodriguez): Well, obviously, Abdusalamov can hit very hard. There's no denying that. Abdusalamov seemed a bit off in round 1, and this Cuban was able to catch him with some shots here and there. Abdusalamov regrouped and absolutely...

Yes, he is an American Olympian from 2008 who won a Bronze Medal, *not 100% sure* but I believe he lost to Italian silver medalist Clemente Russo. That category was won by the much better Rakhim Chakhkiev, Russian Gold Medalist now Cruiserweight Pro. Wilder has numerous amateur losses to high...

Boytsov looked sensational VS Wilson! As noted, nobody has ever knocked Wilson out before. He has been stopped twice but never knocked out. This fight he was knocked out and very early on, thats a great achievement and a testament to the punching power of Boytsov. Boytsov is definitely the...

Thanks for providing that stream and its great that the fight is easy to watch. Personally however I am working at that time and will be unable to watch the fight live. Shame, I would have liked to watch Boytsov/Wilson. Oh well, Ill have to catch it on youtube the next day! Id love to see a...

Well, as they say, no human being can be perfect right. Joe was a truly exceptional boxer. One of the best of alltime. Unquestionably the best super middleweight of alltime. Joe should occupy a similar alltime standing as Mayweather or Pacquiao. In fact, you could make the argument that his...

I can't wait for Vitali-Chisora as well as Huck-Povetkin, those are 2 of the biggest fights I want to see in boxing :). Im a huge Vitali fan. Huck/Povetkin is an amazing "pick em" fight and is so interesting (id favour Povetkin 65-35 in that fight). Wlad-Mormeck will be nice to watch as well...
