Round-by-Round: Joseph Parker vs. Derek Chisora II - 18 December 2021

[peter barlow]

Parker was quality in a war with Del Boy. Derek seems faded though so may be better retiring or dropping down a level or 2 if he is going to continue.

Not a chance ,,, Chisora himself feels he's still good to go ,, and Eddie will just keep getting the opponents and raking in the momey , until the public stop buying ,, and if he's not fighting top 10 he won't pull the money , so its scrambled brains time coming up for Chisora ,, , pity he's worked very hard to amass a lot of money , Just a shame he on't be able to enjoy it has he is today

Zelfa was fairly decent.

Cullen did not use his height or reach at all, looked a brutal body shot but I'd question Cullen at that weight, his punch resistance? He did get hit with the head repeatedly though by Sadjo.

They could say Sadjo was much better than the original opponent and different style but realistically it was late notice for Sadjo and for a vacant European title so it wasn't going to be an easy touch. Good performance by the Frenchman.

I can't get over the fact that Cullen had the North Face logo tattooed on his back.

Watched the Cabbage fight, he really could even be given a count in the 2nd. Nearly got punished by another can.

He was 20 seconds away from being ko’d. I’d fancy he’ll go backwards now to lower grade journeyman before stepping up to whatever level he’s gonna get beat at.

And he was talking about going the Bridget route next year.

Huh, he was begging Eddeh for Joshua and other huge guys, when he had just signed with Matchroom.

Just catching up on the card was out Saturday.

Richards vs Gongora is a stinker. Not scoring it but probably have Richards up a few rounds. Richards looks slick, good movement but feather fisted which I think will cost him against the top guys. Still though it's a good win for Lerrone to get.

Arena looks 20% full at this point, Upper tier closed? Hearn did say the COVID pass is now hurting ticket sales.

I think they had about 10-11,000 in there. Probably gave away 1,500 or so I’d guess.

About 8,000 max.

I heard from someone who works there that they’d done that many (8,000) 3/4 weeks back and I think that was before they started with the freebies. They can get something like 11,000 in there from memory without opening the top tier.

It's less than that pal. Around 19,000 when it's jampacked for boxing. Almost half of that is upper tier so if you take out the production set up and the empties - partic the corners, then 8,000 is what my pal estimated. And that's a decent crowd, albeit there was some papering.

There was only that there for Khan-Kotelnik and Khan-Prescott. It was full for Froch-Groves but they must have gone over the limits for Kostya-Hatton. That was incredibly busy. The bars were mad. I felt guilty sending my mate! And you weren't allowed to drink in the arena then but security gave up. All Smoking as well. Crazy atmosphere. A one off.

Ah right. My understanding is that the lower tier is about 10,500 (at least it used to be) plus the floor seating with another 8,500 for the top tier.

Anyway, doesn’t matter. As you say it was a decent crowd with a bit of papering thrown in too.

Yeah. Hatton/Tszyu was my first live show. Crazy night and I left thinking all boxing shows were like that!

I took a mate and he thought the same. It's like going to the world cup final in your first game and then back to York City.

Perhaps stick him in with that Demsey McKean guy from Australia. Unbeaten but beatable, also Matchroom.

That's the sort of level they should be looking at. But I'm sure Queensbury would like Joyce and Dubois in with Del Boy.

[margaret thatcher]

i agree, chisora vs mckean or wardley, those are the types of fights id like to see him in. but i guess hes too big for that now

[rd350lc]

Chisora v Babic would sell if he doesn't do this bridger weight Mullarkey .

Would it sell? whos getting up for that. Chisora would beat him to a pulp and stop him in a round.

Maybe 3 and yes you're average casual would lap it up .

[cormack]

chisora just needs to feck off into the sunset .
he is just clogging things up .
he isnt after belts just dosh and has no chance against any elite boxer anyway.

its a matter of time before he gets severely splattered .

Move over and let some new blood come through .

Why does BN think this fight was so great? Read the first letter! You would’ve thought we’d seen Ali Frazier

[margaret thatcher]

it was too one sided to be all that good. chisora was plucky enough to make it decent though despite taking a bit of a beating

although wilder - fury was a 9-2 fight and ppl think it was an all time great

Ah. Some do tend to over hype
