Chisora v Pulev II - 9th July, O2 Babby!

[mickey1975]

So is wardly going to fight this show vs a bum? or will they bait and switch and move im to another show to help with ticket sales there...

He won't improve ticket sales anywhere, especially not in Sheffield.

Wardley’s fighting Kingsley Ibeh. Nothing special but better than I was expecting at this late stage. He was well beat by Anderson (who’s a top prospect) and drew with Guido Vianello. Hopefully he knew the fight was coming and was properly training.

[DrDuke]

Nice open workout from Chisora.

[Dioufy]

Eddie Hearn just said the 1st fight was v close.
Mug off ya bell.

[Ricky]

No idea what the point in this fight is, and really couldn't care who wins. I suspect Pulev will do enough in the rematch between 2 nearly-men that are well on that slide.

Wow that’s actually a really nice fight for wardly. If he is in shape. I thought king beat guido, and guide was probably a more touted prospect than wardly is now. No shame losing to jar either.

Hope he is in shape, will be a shame if he comes in 300lb to get beat up on 3 days notice.

Eddie’s saying he’s known about the fight for 5 weeks. Who knows though.

I heard him say that on IFL and in the face off..

but he mentioned the judge who scored it for Chisora.

I don't think Hearn watched the fight.

All the scorecards on here are wide..

What did you score it, Ruth? I think I give Chis 1 or 2 rounds tbh.
Swiss judge needs shooting. No joke.

[a force]

I think I scored the first fight 117-111 to Pulev. Chisora was in good shape but really struggled with Pulev’s jab.

I can’t see Chisora doing any better in a rematch. I feel like he’s regressed more than Pulev.

About 117-111..

Beat’s scorecard made people think this was actually a close/split fight.

9th a prettty solid day for hardcore fans....some decent fights between the usa pbc card, the russian card, and this

figueroa-castro
kurbanov-texiera
cardenas-banquez (banq the guy who schooled patel)
magsayo-vargas
madrimov-soro
chis-pulev 2 (mixed views on this but it is at least somewhat interesting to me)

as mentioned wardley-ibeh could be good too but you never know with journeyman/tester types like ibeh, they can blow hot and cold, usually have full time jobs to work and get short notice confirmation as opponent. if wardley wins that one pretty handily gotta see him step it up.....gorman would be a good fight

[maverick23]

Ibeh refused entry in to the U.K. I guess that’s what happens when it’s left so late in the day to sort.

[garethhop]

I hope the main event delivers something and also starts at a reasonable time cos the rest of this card has zero Saturday night interest for me.

[TheGoods]

Boxing News preview of this alludes heavily that Chisora is older than 38! What’s the craic?

Did his family claim asylum when they moved here? Lots of asylum seekers claim to be minors when they are not. Can't blame them for that as they'll not get turfed out. I'd do the same. No idea if Del claimed asylum.

[Ruthless-RKO]

What was with the Boris mask.

[Dioufy]

Chisora looked a little bit chubbier than I’ve seen him against Usyk and Parker.
Reckon he’s genuinely coming to knock out or be knocked out.
Surely he can’t beat Pulev on points unless Pulev shows decline he’s yet to demonstrate.

[handsofstone]

Hope Pulev ices Chisora after seeing the tit cut about in a Boris mask, Pulev should've got a Mugabe one

[joshj909]

If Pulev looks good then I would like to see him face a fringe top 5 guy in an all of nothing final fight against the likes of Joyce/Wilder/Whyte/Parker/Ruiz. He'd have nothing to lose at that point and if he wins then he could hang around for another title shot as a payday. If he loses against Chisora then retire but if he wins but looks a bit old then he could face a prospect in the division.

[tony1234]

I wonder who Wardley fights now ? Good old TBA gets a last minute shout

[Dioufy]

Chris Healy

[handsofstone]

The first fight was terrible, Pulev pissed it but in some strange perverse way im looking forward to this fight now, won't take much to improve on first fight but reckon we might be in for a decent scrap here

Madrimov/Soro rematch is the fight of the night though

[KiwiRider]

No idea what the point in this fight is, and really couldn't care who wins. I suspect Pulev will do enough in the rematch between 2 nearly-men that are well on that slide.

I think the point is to give Chiz a win vs a name, then they can feed him to someone else. His stocks are a bit low after consecutive losses to Parker. Beating the ghost of Pulev helps push him into a more meaningful loss later on.
