That was GREAT... Chisora & Wilder

[Spud MK2]

Deserves better than a RbyR thread...

Both fighters gave their best

But lets face it ... both of them are finished at the top ...

What are your favourite Chisora/Wilder fights.

I really hope they both retire

I think Wilder's guts are underrated. He's taken some proper hidings and more often than not, kept battling to the bitter end, win or lose

He really rallied against Luis Ortiz when things were looking bleak (2nd fight).

The one round demolition of Dominic Breazeale was Wilder in his pomp

In retrospect, Chisora's title challenge to Vitali Klitschko was probably among his best efforts.

Hell this is one of my favorites for both of 'em honestly. It was a fun, wild slugfest. Sloppy as hell, but a legitimate, hard effort from both men, and I liked it, and the right man won.

The 3rd Wilder vs Fury bout is one of the more memorable Heavyweight title bouts ever.

Wilder didn't so much have a lot of great fights, but he has a lot of highlight reel KO's.

Chisora had slugfest after slugfest, and has been "should've retired" for a long time now.

A lot of things about Wilder are underrated. His chin and boxing ability also. Neither of them (chin or boxing skill) are great, but neither are as hopeless as people make them out to be either.

As for Chisora. I've never really liked his personality, but credit where it's due, what a tough son of a bitch. Stood in there with the best of the best of his era, and gave as good as he got in many fights, and in many more like this one tonight even in a losing effort he gave his opponent plenty to worry about on the way to victory.

He never was all that refined, he was just a brawler with a brutish come forward style, big sweeping hooks and overhand rights, but he was tough enough to make it work for him better than it would've for most fighters, and he went far.

As rugged, but limited brawlers go. Chisora is one that won't be forgotten anytime soon.

Great posts!!
I remember resenting Del Boy although it wasnt his fault being banned by the then sportsnetwork frombthebdavid haye fight.

I will give piece of boxing memorablia who can guess the specific reason why,n

Spitting water in Vladimir Klitschko's face

My favourite fights of the both are the second Fury fights for each of them.

[THEBUTCH]

Chisora was terrible in the 2nd Fury fight.

His best effort against Fury was the 1st contest.

Another question...

Name the shit fights they were in

[Taansend]

We need to see Chisora v Stiverne

The one today was both a great fight and a sh*t fight at the same time. I feel like that's happened a lot with those guys

Obviously both are past their peak and neither ever had elite skills.

However I certainly enjoyed the fight, neither was there for the payday, they both gave it their all, and they can't be criticised.

He absolutely will continue. He's set himself up for the biggest money of his career in his next bout. No way he's walking away now.

Chisora will continue too. We'll be seeing Chisora vs Bakole this time next year.

A few comments have been made about lack of quality in the bout, both are well past their best, but I think it is unfair to focus on this

[Goz]

Whatever their relative level on the world stage, for 2 40+ years olds, it was entertaining and brutal.

It was kinda still evenly matched though.

Not as it just one of the was shot and other was in their prime.

Chisora’s boss lady said ‘no’ in the ring. Haha

Let’s see if he listens to her.

[gilgamesh]

I hope he does. Enough is enough. You can't do this forever, and the longer you try the more of a toll it's taking on you.

[DrDuke]

Well, the fight had an extremely low technical output and not a big amount of clean work, but it was a fun brawl of the two lumberjacks in the pub.

The fight of the year? No. The fight of the decade. No.

This was the Fight of the Century.

Rarely, if ever, in fact, has boxing roared to a prizefight of such relentless action, so many punches of so much devastating power, such exhibitions of courage under bombardment that it will take months for these monumental gladiators to recover. If ever they really do.

[goose 5]

Way too sloppy of a fight for my liking. Chisora could be fed to Leo Atang in a year or maybe even a bit sooner.
