A heavyweight boxer on the rampage is an amazing thing. What can anybody do? Security are powerless and it doesn't matter how many people want to try and get in the way. All of them are ten hand men when it comes down to it. That video is quite something.

Re: Drama at Chisora v Pulev weigh in
Is a ten hand man like the opposite of a feather duster man?
Re: Drama at Chisora v Pulev weigh in
Maybe, maybe not. Practically anyone is a ten hand man if they go loopy enough and need to be restrained without doing them any significant harm.Counter-puncher wrote:Is a ten hand man like the opposite of a feather duster man?

Re: Drama at Chisora v Pulev weigh in
I'm not sure, I reckon even that unprofessional mob could handle me without too many problems, as I'm a skinny weak smoker and not a very large heavyweight boxer. Though id probably be a four or five hand man if someone pinched my weed.Sklar wrote:Practically anyone is a ten hand man if they go loopy enough and need to be restrained without doing them any significant harm.Counter-puncher wrote:Is a ten hand man like the opposite of a feather duster man?

Chisora gets a taste of his own medicine. Well done liitle guy. I can imagine Chisora raging the whole day and coming wrecked for a fight. Which makes him even easier work for Pulev then he already was.
Re: Drama at Chisora v Pulev weigh in
In the true sense of the term, a ten hand man was a guy you'd have to send ten men out to take down. It's a dated phrase, which used to apply to villains and street fighters. But even a borderline world class heavyweight like Chisora is a ten hand man and it's certainly something to see.Counter-puncher wrote:Is a ten hand man like the opposite of a feather duster man?
In my previous career incarnation I have met a few, and it is no fun to get in their way. But it is sure exhilerating to see one in action.

Come on, be fair. If we're going to call Chisora a knob for doing that to others we need to call the guy who did it to him a knob too.Tarkus wrote:Chisora gets a taste of his own medicine.

It's just shit behaviour. We can't say he hasn't brought it on himself but it's still not right.
Unfortunately for Derek, it seems he may have burnt too many bridges to be afforded the benefit of the doubt from now on.

Re: Drama at Chisora v Pulev weigh in
I don't blame Derek to a certain extent. Some pudendum throwing a bottle in my face...I would be looking to crack him myself.
Lol at the Sauerlands..I bet they didn't appreciate thier fighter Derek chucking them around when trying to calm him - Unless he wins and gets a AJ payday I doubt they will bother with Del again

Re: Drama at Chisora v Pulev weigh in
The Sauerlands, while slightly uneasy, will secretly quite like Delboy going on the rampage like that, because it gets the headlines for an otherwise humdrum heavyweight fight.
And the shameful little scrub who sucker punched him with the bottle, does seem to be part of Pulev team because he's standing right next to the big lump.

Re: Drama at Chisora v Pulev weigh in
Delboy has been promoted by the Sauerland's since F Warwen sacked him but from looking on Google they used to also promote Pulev - am I correct that they still do - so this is a fight between 2 fighters in same stable?
Re: Drama at Chisora v Pulev weigh in
Not when its a retribution. Chisora grabbed Pulev and got a bottle in the face. Thats order restored in my book. I have no sympathy for Chisora and I'll cheer when he gets slayed later today.BobD'Mello wrote:Come on, be fair.

Re: Drama at Chisora v Pulev weigh in
Frank got rid of Chisora because he knows the guys finished. I think the Sauerland's picked him up just to feed him to Pulev. I would actually be surprised if Chisora beats Pulev. I think Pulev will stop Chisora around round 7.
Good luck to Chisora though!

Ten men, two hands per man, wouldn't that make him a twenty hand man?
