kneerash my friend he wasnt holding on because he was hurt. He used it as a tactic to control the fight by also leaning on him
He was picking him off

Matters, not in the second when Chisora rocked him he was grabbing for dear life, also in the 10th I think when he bent him over the ropes to stop Chisora's attack.
I know it was part of the tactics, leaning on him to sap the energy, any time Chisora tried to fight on the inside etc but he was grabbing allot when he could have continued to throw the combinations.

Even though Fury did well and boxed smartly (still a bit slow for my liking) he was aided by the fact that chisora was so erratic and just threw a load of garbage at tyson. The amount of wild swinging over head hooks were so ridiculous, it was obvious that del boy thought he could get fury out early. I reckon if there was a rematch, chisora wouldnt make the same mistakes, he'd come in lighter, primed for a 12 rounder and not top heavy and go for an early knockout.

Was a good bout but not exactly vintage stuff. Fury looks to have a lot of promise but is far from the finished article. On last nights showing he'd be easily put away by either of the klitschko's, or David Haye for that matter. I hope he gets a good few more fights in before a title shot.

I reckon that David Price would take care of both Fury and Chisora.
Last nights fight was a good one, but I couldn't believe that the referee allowed Fury to get away with his constant holding on the inside. Chisora looked out of condition to me and he faded badly in the second half of the fight.

enjoyed the fight a lot !
tyson leaning into chisora was a bt unsporting but a brilliant tactic which wore the guy right down! The jab combos also looked fresh and compared to the david haye fight i was actually interested for the entire 12 rounds

still think song could be a top player for us, two seasons ago he was an absolute beast in that defensive midfield spot when he was disciplined and stuck to his job yet for some reason last season he decided to push forward more which left our midfield exposed.if he could get back to what he was doing two seasons ago he could be a great player for us. he showed last season how could he can be when he sticks to his job in the man utd came when he completely marked rooney out the game.

It's sort of difficult to know how to respond to that.

Isn't it a bit late for John Motson to start commentating on boxing this late into his career?
