....just seems to have pretty solid chin to be, wondered if he had ever been KO'd in the amateurs? Not stopped on his feet, but genuinely knocked down and hurt.

Just trying to think about how the fight plays out tomorrow....I really think he is going to do a lot better than people think.

Not as far as I know; but he did admit to getting hurt badly in the 1st round by Helenius, which is odd, and I have heard he got flattened by Leon Williams by a body shot 2 years ago. Still sparring is largely meaningless

It seems to be at 1:10 of the vid:

He comes back well though

yeah reggaereggae i saw an interview where he mentioned being hurt by helenius but i don't think he was particuarly wobbled and had the sense to back away. I personally dont think he is gonna get stopped tomorrow.....looking forward to it....

difficult to say. His chin looks good but Vitali is a different level. I wouldn't be surprised to see him last the distance Shannon Briggs style

No but he has been knocked down in sparring several times, all by body shots. Dillian White, Price, Tom Dallas and Scott Belshaw all knocked him down with body shots. His trainer also does not have any control of Chisoras training regime, Chisora works at his own pace. Ideally Chisora should be weighing in around 225lbs but he is too lazy.

Scott Belshaw? That can't be good!

Leon Williams also put him over heavily with body shots

I remember Sexton and Fury hurting him with body shots, on the upside he sucked it up and kept going.

Vitali hits a lot harder than these two!

Does Vitali throw bodyshots?

Not many. It's hard because of his height.
