[forcefraser]

I have to give that to Pulev, just.

Did more, hurt Chisora

[Dioufy]

I have 114-114

That’s fine tbh
7-5 del for me

[forcefraser]

Strange last card 116-114?

[Ruthless-RKO]

116-112 Pulev
116-112 Chisora
116-114 Chisora

Split decision

Derek Chisora

[KiwiRider]

Well, I'm happier it wasn't a draw. Either guy could have got it.

[milpool]

116-112 either way seems an odd score.

[maverick23]

Really pleased for Del Boy. I still hope he retires now though. Perfect fight to go out on.

Could have been. Not sure

[SamWise72]

Cracking fight though, and I had it to Chisora, but only by a round or 2

[Ruthless-RKO]

When it comes to Chisora.

There will always be bias.

Makes you want Chisora to get KO’d

[rd350lc]

Now bloody hang em up Del

Yeh. Just checked.

[milpool]

Sounds like he’s not retiring just yet…leave Wilder well alone though.

[KiwiRider]

We were concerned Del's punch resistance had gone after the Parker fight, seems Parker just bangs hard enough to drop Del, and Pulev doesn't.

[Ruthless-RKO]

He wants Wilder.

[KiwiRider]

I get the feeling that if he won, Eddie's gonna give him another crack at Whyte.

[ShadrachSimmo]

He wants Wilder.

That will be the end.

Weird score

It’s a rare score, but a good score. There were obviously rounds that were too close to call (hence the split), I like when a judge will admit they can’t seperate them and give a 10-10, rather than just guess a name to give the round to.

[handsofstone]

Excellent fight i had a good feeling it might be a war and it didn't disappoint I've got it 114-114, it started off messy and you feared the worst, Pulev's holding merited a point off it was ridiculous early doors, how many warnings did he get? Chisora's body work early was effective, some big shots to the body of Pulev who was more concerned with spoiling, when it settled Pulev began getting to work putting his shots together well, wasn't much meat on them but they were scoring

The action just swung back and forth as did the scoring, Pulev with the more consistent work, rocked Chisora with an uppercut but Chisora reacted well and fought back, Chisora seemed to do his best work against the ropes and he knew that so was more than happy to lay there and land they leaping left hooks or overhand rights and he had success, he ate a lot of shots as well, Pulev has some beard and was also able to ride the right hands enough to take the sting out, cracking fight, couldn't split them but happy for Chisora he fought his heart out

Apart from one or two clean shots they looked like arm punches from the off from Pulev , but I suppose that's his style .
Haye would say it was the body work tho .
