Dunno tbh mate. Not saying Fury isn't top notch because he is but Chisora is a bit of an enigma and frustrating at times. He'll have a few fights where he's laboured and unmotivated then he can turn in an epic performance like last night!Rexob wrote:For me, it just confirms how good Fury really is!

Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
Come on, Don't tell me Chisora didn't come to win against Fury? Fury didn't give Chisora any chance, he was way to good for Chisora. Great fight last night but levels below the king.
Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
Yeah that was the win that really sold me on him. Fury just totally broke him.Rexob wrote:For me, it just confirms how good Fury really is!
Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
Absolutely. Fury made Chwisora eat the jab, particulalrly in the second fight, and it just completely neutralised Del Boy and disheartened him.BitPlayer wrote:Yeah that was the win that really sold me on him. Fury just totally broke him.Rexob wrote:For me, it just confirms how good Fury really is!
Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
Yeah they're both levels below Fury no doubt and if Fury fought Chisora ten times he'd beat him ten times but maybe not so easily if Chisora was as motivated as he was last night. Same with Pulev. Chisora was just going through the motions against Kubrat.Rexob wrote:Come on, Don't tell me Chisora didn't come to win against Fury?

No wonder, he got a pounding, he was out-dogged in a dog fight, then he got gifted a decision.lillywhite14 wrote:Whyte seemingly not interested in the rematch
Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
Definitely chisora struggles with with fighters that are taller and fight behind the jab we saw that with both fury and pulev, when vitali wasn't throwing the jab against him chisora was jumping all over him.Counter-puncher wrote:I think chisora just matches up badly with fury due to furys skillsetStuarty30 wrote:Dunno tbh mate.

Fury has a very awkward effective style, good movement, and a quality jab which makes him a difficult opponent for any heavyweight.

Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
Chisora was in woeful condition for the first Fury fight - no doubt, and at times in that fight when he could muster the energy to throw a punch he looked better.
Even though Fury was a clear, decisive, winner in fight 1 - it was Chisora's lack of condition that made a fair few experts pick him in the rematch.
The rematch showed how much Fury has improved.... but again there were rumours of major problems in the Chisora camp.

Come on give Fury his due he gave Chisora a beating and would no matter what condition Chisora was in, he just got beat by the better man twice and easy.stujones wrote:Chisora was in woeful condition for the first Fury fight - no doubt, and at times in that fight when he could muster the energy to throw a punch he looked better.

Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
I said Fury was a clear decisive winner in fight 1 and we all know what happened in fight 2 - but there can be surely also be no disputing that Chisora was in woeful condition for fight 1.
I think it is a great compliment to Fury to note how much he had improved from fight 1 to fight 2..... if Fury did not show any improvement over his career then he wouldn't have made English title level.... Remember McDermott 1.

Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
It was common knowledge that Chisora was unwell before the second fight and could have legitimately pulled out if he'd been so inclined. Not saying Chisora would have won anyway, but he was a shadow of his usual self that night.Rexob wrote:Come on give Fury his due he gave Chisora a beating and would no matter what condition Chisora was in, he just got beat by the better man twice and easy.stujones wrote:Chisora was in woeful condition for the first Fury fight - no doubt, and at times in that fight when he could muster the energy to throw a punch he looked better.

Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
Tbh, I think that it was the second best fight of the card and no better than third best of the day. That is in no way meant to be critical of the fight. Rather, it is a positive statement about the quality of the day.

Yes he was very shaky against McDermott , looking ready to turn his back several times in ahorrible performance and an unpopular decision.stujones wrote:I said Fury was a clear decisive winner in fight 1 and we all know what happened in fight 2 - but there can be surely also be no disputing that Chisora was in woeful condition for fight 1.

Chisora gave him a really good fight first time . Felt Chisora could've done better if he was better conditioned but that's Del Boy for you.

Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
Tremendous fight.
I thought it would be an ugly & fate fuelled fight, but it was well fought battle between two evenly matched guys.
2016 has been the worst year for HW boxing for a long time, but this fight goes some way to redeeming that.

Re: Whyte v Chisora FOTY
FOTY I had Whyte by 2/3 rounds and more if Whytes KD of Chisora in the 12th wasn't ruled a slip and contrary to the deluded Chisora fans Whyte seems up for a rematch
