yes, was impressed with the way he worked thr body, but thought Sexton allowed him in to close quarters without making him pay, far too often.

Agreed. Having been totally uninspired by the big man previously, I thought he was really impressive (well, you know, given he's a British heavy).

Was particularly impressed by his fitness levels - props to Don Charles or whoever has been working with him on that.

agreed i'd not seen him go that far since the first sexton fight (ive only seen 4 or 5 i think) and was impressed with the pace he fought at but i loved his entrance get up and his sportsmanship pre-fight esspecially after his strange stories about biting and kissing opponants

A couple of British defences then he should go for Euro title build experince rather than be rushed.

He has some great combinations in the locker- like when he finished the fight – and when he got on his toes and outboxed sexton midway, was a joy to watch..made a fan of me.

I'd like to see him fight more frequently, he's the kind of fella who would soon gather a lot of support and following.

He's a character, has a twinkle in his eye and with some work, could be a pretty formidable handful.

I thought he was about to gas around the 5th but came back and poured it on.

I'd like to see him fight at least once before the year end. The Commonwealth belt opens up the market without chasing the shadow of cross-promotional fights with other Brit up and comers.

Shame Skelton is in Prizefighter, that would be a nother good scalp.

Can't see it either. I'd just like to see a little more engine in him, he outlasted Sexton and was busy but just wondered whether there was still some lingering stamina issues or perhaps just a lack of faith in his own endurance not to keep the pressure on a little more than he did, it would improve his appeal as a tv fighter if he was a touch busier and more compelling to watch...he's an interesting fighter though, does things other heavyweights don't.

his fitness wasn't good enough that he didn't have to take a 30 second - 1 minute break every now and lay back on the ropes which he could do knowing Sexton wasn't going to jump on him. just saying.....

Sexton was in appaling condition. Gassed again after about 5 rounds.

He really needs to leave Graham Everett and get in a decent gym which will get him in proper fighting shape.

He looked flabby as well, way more so than the second Rogan fight.

But credit to Del Boy, he looked real good in there... not enough power to make it to the very top though...

Sexton just fell apart as usual.

Fair play to Chisora, he's turned a lot of people around and Saturday was a very determined effort.

Showed a good chin and solid legs.

Listening to it on the radio it seemed like Chisora was getting beat up and that the stoppage happened quickly and against the run of play.

well, the radio commentary was nonsense, then

Chisora had Sexton a bit wobbly a couple of rounds before the finish.
