Could you imagine going drinking with Chisora? You would end up in more bar saloon fights than John Wayne.

Possibly why he doesn't drink anymore

Is anybody scoring this ?

Maybe 5-3(77-74) Chisora.

I was wondering about that as I posted it. Probably for the best!

Gave up when he joined Haye and found Jesus or something

Like to see Parker go for this more. Lee telling him to jab and move. Feels like Chisora is there for the taking if Parker was to put his combinations together more.

Joeseph Balls

Parker needs to step it up a notch.
Close rounds

squinn2912

Listening to the commentary on BBC. Conor Benn and Steve Bunce. Torment.

Seems to be all Parker the last few rounds.

normanoffside

For a big lump Chisora has a great engine.

All square or Parker by 1

Parker is obviously a very impressive athlete, and he's never been knocked out - he's always there at the end. But he doesn't have the highlight reel that you would expect for someone in his position. Always a long grind with a close result.

Been thinking the same all night..

Sticking snd jabbing Chisora is not great advice..

Pretty game too. He got a very heavy knock down against Whyte early on and I thought he was out cold. Got back up and all but stopped him.

So who's Katie's next target? Is there anyone decent left at lightweight she hasn't beaten?

If WWE allow Becky Lynch :P

Great win again for Katie

Chisora is a hardy bastard.

No doubting that. But as a casual boxing viewer can someone explain what’s he in it for. He’s never gone to be a world beater. He’s 37 (I think) and he takes a lot of hits. Is there that much money for him at this stage or is it just because he’s a mad hard bast…d and is probably enjoying it.

The Inbetween is mine

Split decision I think...

earthwormjack

Probably all level now going into the 12th.

Wasn't that an elbow?

chopperbyrne

That 10-8 in the first will be huge on the score cards, and could make this a draw.

God I don’t think so. I thought he clipped him with a hook

squinn2912

To be fair to Chisora he’s better now that he was 10 years ago.

Scoundrel

Chisora by 1 for me

Chisora's heart must be going like a jackhammer.


Chisora for me.

sxt

Hope Chisora wins this. If Parker can't decivisly beat a 38 year old with strep throat..

He's headlined a lot of PPVs an mugs like me keep buying them.

Fair play to Chisora he gave left it all in there tonight!

generalgerry

Chisora is some warrior. He's incredible.

~Rebel~

Scoring all over the place on that one! Fairly mad.

Chisora much better in his moments, but over the length of the fight, Parker had more consistency.

chopperbyrne

Did I hear 116 to 111 to Parker?

How?

Eoinbmw

**** boxing man its so corrupt!

squinn2912

All seems fair enough with that scoring. I dont think Chisora will retire just yet but I’d say that’s the end of him headlining an event. Parker will need to start better and press an advantage home. Next day out will be interesting. That was a good contest for him.

Scoundrel

Was that polish judge smoking crack? Should never be allowed judge a fight again. Chisora won that for me.

earthwormjack

116-111 for Parker a little wide for me. I might have given it to Chisora by one, think he just shaded the last round.

9 rounds to 3, with one of the 3 being a 10-8.

Butson

116 - 111 to Parker?
With a 10-8 knockdown.

Joke.

Abysmal judging crazy stuff

Andy Lee will earn his wage getting Parker to the top.

Andy Lee was saying he only worked with Parker for around the last 5 weeks of proper training, just enough time to hone his existing strengths and do a little work on his weaknesses, so it'll be interesting to see if he can do a bit more as time goes on.

generalgerry

Bit embarrassing for Andy there

Scoundrel

Andy Lee basically admitting Chisora won

What did Lee say?

normanoffside

Fight scorecard is always a pretty good judge for me. I Didn't really watch the first 6 rounds of the Chicora vs parker match to score it myself

this was the Taylor fight.

Brock Turnpike

I had Chisora winning first 4 rounds.

I had Parker winning the next 7.

The last round I think Chisora might have edged.

7-5 to Parker with one of the 5 being a 10-8

Very close fight particularly with the knockdown to be taken into account.

Right after the fight he said to Chisora that he wasn't sure they should've gotten the nod. I took it to be more of a; "That was a bloody close one", than, "You were robbed".

Chisora then put him on the spot by saying; "his coach said I should've won", in his interview, and Lee gave a little clarification about the closeness of the fight, and quickly added they'd be happy to go for the rematch.

I'm sure Lee will be on Second Captains again this week, so will be interesting to hear what he says then. The fight pretty much played out as he expected beforehand - lose the first few rounds, win the bulk of the rest.

Chisora said Andy said he won.
Andy came in and said 'it was a close fight, we're in his country, I thought they would have gave him fair play'.

EagererBeaver

Yeah, Lee made sure Chisora didn't get away with that claim unchallenged.

Parker a clear winner for me in a tough close fight.

walshb

I didn’t score it, but Parker’s work was far cleaner and neater..

Chisora was his usual plodding swinging self. No skill whatsoever..

He does the exact same thing all the time. Wades in all sloppy winging wild swings...

Not possible. Parker is a grade C fighter...
