behind the ropes ?

did anyone see the haye chisora doc ? i thought it was rubbish , the whole idea is hype the fight by showing the training camps so we get an insight in to tactics ! it never showed haye training or adam booths thoughts on the fight which is normally really intresting ! all i saw was chisaora larking about and more intrested in horse racing and then him and and his trainer had a fight ! wow really got me hyped for the fight! , it was an awful programe and i really hope it inproves , i wish sky would sort it out and get the big fights back !

That's Boxnation for you......

Annoyingly the Twittterverse is full of butt-lickers going on about how great the show is/was and Frank is retweeting all of them

Frank is only retweeting the friendly tweets he's had plenty of abuse. I've not got round to watching it yet the fight really doesn't have me interested at all. 2 average heavyweights one of whom is a fat lump.

disagree that haye is average ? if as expected he detroys chisora he must be in the same bracket as vitali ? to much is made on his performence against wlad , he is still a class boxer

Not really, Buster Douglas did just as good a job (perhaps better) than Holyfield managed with Tyson (and against a better Tyson I should add) would think when most people draft up their heavyweight lists there is a good old bit of fresh air between Buster and Evander.

Or possibly closer to Chagaev given how they both fared against Valuev?

What has he done at heavyweight to be considered anything other than average?

Loved Chisora sitting with a Haye t shirt and a Pomeranian on his lap.

probably not an unfair assessment, or simile, really.

not really makeing sence ? how does chisora loseing on points to vitali compere to holyfield v tyson, i mean should a haye win happen it would put in the same bracket as the vitali of now surely , the buster result was a massive shock a real one off , so haye kos chisora with style he cant cant be compeared with the vitali of now ??

Was it really a one off tho? Tyson didn't bounce straight back to his 86-88 dominance and blast his way back through the division. And it wasn't like it was a 'lucky' punch either, Mike was quite comprehensively beaten (albeit completely unexpectedly).

Watching this now. Pretty dull

I actually think Chisoras a pretty decent boxer.

He is Alex and if he had more power he would be very dangerous

Yeah, he's seriously under rated in my opinion, his actions weren't great in Munich, however his actual boxing was, any man that can push even this version of Vitali hard for every round is a pretty sound boxer. Much is made of his conditioning yet his last 2 fights he's been in very good shape.

both these lads get stick, probably deserved but i cant think of a better matchup not involving a K bro in the division at them moment. id only give price, povetkin and possibly pulev a chance against either of them, and id still back the londoners.

Chisora is just Sam Peter without the power for me.

If he had another cell to compliment the cell in his head he would be even better.

thought it was very amateurish with good points.
but better than the sky sport froch doc before bute. that was terrible!

I'm surprised to learn that Michael Buffer will be there.
