Klitschko Vs. Chisora Live Results And Play-By-Play

Photo

It's a weekend without any MMA of note and I like watching men punch each other in the face. With that in mind, I'm going to bring you live results and play-by-play for the WBC heavyweight championship bout between champion Vitali Klitschko and challenger Dereck Chisora.

The action will get under way around 4:30 p.m. ET and, as pointed out earlier today, the fight can be seen free online in America if you sign up for a 14 day free trial of Epix. It's a Saturday afternoon, there aren't many better options for how to spend a lazy weekend afternoon than watching a giant angry German man punch a disrespectful Brit in the head.


Bad Left Hook's Coverage of Klitschko vs. Chisora


Speaking personally, I think this has a good chance to be an entertaining bout. Chisora is going to come forward hard trying to get his hands on Klitschko's chin, I don't expect him to be hesitant about taking a few shots to force his way inside. That will make Vitali have to do more than circle and pump the jab. Vitali also has a bit more of a mean streak than Wladimir so I expect that he will want to shut Chisora's mouth and punish him for the weigh-in slap.

Check back if you want to talk about the fight as it goes down this afternoon.

The fight will be getting underway soon.

There has been some nonsense where Chisora took off his wraps backstage and was saying he wouldn't fight. But that has supposedly been "sorted out" now. David Haye said that Chisora was in a rage backstage.

They just announced there will be a 10-15 minute delay before the main event.

4:53 pm: The crowd is about 13,000 strong. We're still killing time before the main event.

5:00 pm: Christina Perri gives a brief musical performance that was...kind of embarrassing. Ring walks should be coming soon.

5:08 pm: They're saying 5-10 more minutes until the fighters come out. This is just getting stupid.

5:18 pm: Both men in the ring. All updates from here on will be after the jump.

Okay, I'm having issues with our backend and updating the post. so i'll do this in the comments for now.

Round 1 – Vitali misses a left early and Chisora is trying to push forward. Chisora moving his head a bit and lands a wide left to the shoulder of Klitschko. Vitali with the jab and a right hand. Chisora tries to wing a wild riht in return and misses. Half lands another right. Klitschko with another jab and now digs to the body. Right hand by Chisora but they’re too wide to hold power here. He keeps going to that wild overhand right. Klitschko doing the better work but Chisora is trying like hell to get inside and make something happen. Klitschko tags him and that causes Chisora to back off a bit. 10-9 Vitali.

Round 2 – Chisora coming our and still trying to come forward. The right hand of Vitali is the most important punch in this fight so far. Now goes to the body a couple of times. Chisora gets tagged twice more now. Vitali starting to land right after right now late in the round and he really is taking this over. 10-9 Vitali (20-18 Vitali)

Round 3

Chisora is really taking some heavy shots as this fight continues. It’s all uppercuts and right hands but Chisora is game enough. He continues trying to come forward and try to make something happen, but this is entirely a case where Chisora is looking for a single home run shot. 10-9 Klitschko (30-27 Klitschko)

Round 4

Round 4 – Now Chisora looks to come out behind his jab (as his corner asked). Klitschko’s understanding of spacing is great. When Chisora gets inside Vitali still steps inside of the hooks and then either clinches or circles away to get back to distance. Uppercut again by Vitali. Klitschko steps back from a lunching shot by Chisora and tags him with a counter. Now a big right. 10-9 Vitali again (40-36)

Round 5

Chisora deserves credit because he never stops coming forward. He’s landed to the body a bit but Vitali is just lightyears better technically. Vitali is just circling around the right, jabbing, landing right hands and not getting hit. It’s more exciting than a lot of Klitschko fights but there is a distinct lack of a sense of danger for the champion here. 10-9 Vitali (50-45 Vitali)

Round 6

Chisora gets in and actually lands a little bit now. He keeps going back to the body also. Vitali with a right hand, now Chisora lands in return. This is a much better round for Chisora. Chisora lands a nice right hand. Klitschko looks a little bit fatigued. Klitschko lands a right now but there’s a bit of a sense that things are changing a little here. Chisora is getting more aggressive and finding a bit more success. 10-9 Chisora (59-55 Vitali)

Vitali with a body shot right away. Chisora just keeps pressuring. It’s non-stop. Now he lands to the body and to the head. He keeps landing. Klitscho is starting to look a bit bothered. Now Klitschko lands a riht. Chisora is really coming at him. It’s not that Vitali isn’t still landing the right a little bit, it’s that Chisora is having actual success on the inside now. Chopping right by Vitali. Chisora comes forward with a left that is blocked. Right hand by Vitali is his best punch in the last few rounds. Now Vitali with a hard right, Chisora won’t back off. Close round, I’ll go 10-9 Chisora. (68-65 Vitali)

This is the round where Chisora predicted he’d get a KO. He comes forward right into Vitali’s chest. Jab by vitali and again. Chisora to the body. Vitali is sticking his jab out a bit more now. Right hand by Chisora. Chisora with a few glancing punches and he keeps coming forward. I feel like I’m typing that a lot, but it’s important to note when a Klitschko can’t break the will and stop the charge of an opponent. Good body shot by Vitali. Right hand by Chisora. Klitschko spent a lot of time clinching that round. 10-9 Chisora. (77-75 Vitali)

Open scoring shows that Chisora needs the KO (or at least a few knockdowns) so he needs to turn it up even more. Klitschko circling. Chisora trying to catch him, working the body but Klitschko does get to him a little bit. Chisora is fading a bit since his little run in the middle of the fight and he can’t quite pressure as much. They trade big right hands. Big left by Chisora to end the round. 10-9 Klitschko (97-93 Vitali)

Chisora needs a knockout here. He goes to the body. Vitali with a few nice shots. Chisora responds going to the body and the head. Wild right actually clips Vitali a bit. A little over a minute left and Klitschko needs to just not get blasted. Chisora gives it an effort as the round heads to the final bell, letting go with a right hand. Another big right and the final bell. Good effort from Chisora but Vitali will win on the cards. 10-9 Chisora (116-112 Vitali)

117-113 Vitali. Good fight. Chisora has no reason to be ashamed.

Wladimir gets in the face of Chisora’s corner, he’s none too happy about Chisora’s slap and water spitting..etc.

So does that mean he’s forgiven for the pre-fight water spit because he put out a valiant effort?

Entertaining fight at least

Chisora gave it all he could, throwing shots, just controlled for most of the fight.
Everyone in there seemed a bit of a dick though

He gets hit a lot. He wouldn’t do that well. Same with Badr Hari.

put mma gloves on a pro boxer at that level and JDS would probably go to sleep fast.

if it was 3 rounds fight 5 minutes each, I'd guess JDS would do quite well)))

at least that’s what a fan in me says, but realistically, prolly you’re right

Did anyone hear what Vitali said about his left hand?

The Epix stream was awful for me, so I couldn’t hear the interview properly.

by paythefighters on Feb 18, 2012 6:33 PM EST reply actions  

He basically said he fought with one hand but didn’t want to make excuses and say why. I’d bet on him being injured though. Would be pretty strange otherwise to just abandon what has always been his main weapon the left jab.

by Asmo on Feb 18, 2012 6:40 PM EST up reply actions  

David Haye just said the price, date, venue all agreed, the klitschkos just need to send the contract for him to sign

Just tired of all this though, not sure at all the fight will happen. Is there anyone else who would be a big fight though

by UK MMA MAN on Feb 18, 2012 6:39 PM EST reply actions  

Alexander Povetkin but like the announcers i was listening to said the klitschkos are scared and don’t want to make that fight. 23-0 Russian. Ranked 2nd in the heavyweight division according to Ring magazine. There is also Alexander Dimitrenko 32-1 ukrainian ranked 5th.

by milliondollardreams on Feb 18, 2012 6:47 PM EST up reply actions  

He had previously ducked wladamir, so it's a little understandable if they're demanding with their negotiations, and he still has to get past marco 'captn' huck 1st

And how ‘big’ would that or the dimitrenko really be, would it sell big anywhere apart from germany?

by UK MMA MAN on Feb 18, 2012 7:02 PM EST up reply actions  

Not many other options

This fight wasn’t particularly big. I think Chisora made a name for himself here and did more than what was expected. David Haye is probably the only “big” fight if you can call it that, but outside of that my guess would be to see whats up with Povetkin.

Why does everyone in Boxing seem like an asshole at the upper level?

now im not a boxing fan so i dont know a whole lot about boxing, but the only guy i can think of who isnt seen as a dbag is Pacman. the UFC has bad guys too sure like the Diaz brothers or Koscheck, but compared to Boxing thats almost nothing.

More boxing, less WWE and TMZ gossip, BE.
