So is anyone buying the Usyk v Chisora fight?

Being that it’s on Halloween night and I won’t be doing anything else I probably will but am not excited about it at all.

watched a decent enough fight on sat Clayton v Lipinets, majority draw. I just feel if Clayton had of been that bit more aggressive he would have got a clear points victory on the other 2 judges cards.I still think he should have got the nod. One judge 115-13 for him, other 2 had 114 each.

Usyk's the only one on the bill I'd pay to watch and I think he'll dismantle Del Boy in the second half of the fight so I'll pass on that one.
More interested in the Tank/Santa Cruz fight and Inoue's return to the ring.

Seen the highlights of the Estrada and Chocolatito fights they both looked great fights. Pity we don’t get to watch them live.
Correct but European viewers wouldbe few given the time slot.

UK, hun?
Anyone bothering with Usyk-Chisora?
Would do if I could find a fecking stream. Any chance anyone could sort me out? Just a feeble old man trying to watch other less feeble men punch seven shades of shit out of each other.

Chisora trying to look mean just looks like he’s still got his Covid mask on

Usyk doesn’t look great to me though. Fury would pick him apart with the weight advantage on top.

I don’t think he weathers a first 3 rounder from the top boys in the way he has done here tonight. They’d punish him much more than what Chisora did.

Yeah, Usyk looks like a cruiser vs a HW still. Massive physical difference

He'll still beat Chisora because he's just that much better and Chisora just isn't a top fighter

Will be Hearn bigging him up for the PPV dough. Chisora is done after this.

Only tuned in by round 5, have Usyk winning 5,6,7,8,10,11

I hear he was in trouble in the early rounds? What do you guys think?

R12....mmmm...usyk

Should never have been a PPV fight this. Maybe a fiver but having this as the same price as perhaps Fury/Wilder is absurd.

Chisora won the first 2, probably 3, but I don’t think there was any real ‘trouble’. Usyk slipped in R3 or R4 but it was a clash of feet and not a knockdown.
