Guess we'll have to check the replay for that unscored knockdown. Might've been a trip and just seemed like a punch from the angle.

If Chisora won that he edged it.

awful fight, chisora won clearly because after the 3rd or 4th washington wouldnt engage other than trying to steal the end of the round

chisora's balance totally gone, washington no stamina

Been really missing big British nights of boxing lately.
If this is what it's coming to I ain't missing much.
I just hope for the poor buggers there that the undercard lower down was entertaining.

ya, dreadful show for both but no way washington gets that with such an abysmal workrate for so many of the rounds. dude looks like an adonis but has no gas

8 rounds to 3, in a 10 round fight?
That makes sense, probably best we do move swiftly on

I'm expecting AJ to win early

Hopefully he will too, he doesn't need rounds, he needs confidence

I think they drew the round where neither landed a punch.

Chisora certainly won on workrate, and no doubt Washington coasted the second half on fumes-based apathy, but I'm wondering if R2 wasn't a 10-8 for him, and I felt the vast majority of Chisora's punches landed on his arms and gloves.

ditto. Chis won this s**tfest because Washington didn't seem to give a flip. When he tried he was effective. who knows what was going on there.

Listening to this KSI knob there seems to be a fresh fandom of dickheads to lure him back.

I didn't mind that fight ! What exactly was expected from Chisora v Washington :maybe:

Washington hadn't boxed for over a year and a half and Chisora has long seen better days.

I found it a watchable 10 rounder :TU:
