That's Nikolai Firtha, who had Tyson Fury in all sorts of bother when they met. Banks, who was splattered by Adamek, who was splattered by Vitali, is making him look very very bad in there. Considering that Fury beat Chisora, it shows you how damaging a loss, or even a poor showing would be to Vitali's reputation versus this guy.
This is hilarious. Wlad is demanding that he should be present as Chisora's hands are being wrapped, but Warren is havin' none of it. Even if Chisora wraps his hands with stone, he's got no chance LOL.
Oh yeah. That was great seeing that pikey floored. This fight is utter garbage, btw. Firtha is knackered.
"I've been in this business 16 years professional, I know what I am talking about, certain rules, certain regulations need to be followed with the tape and the gauze"- Wlad. I have to be honest, its all a bit fucking much at this stage.

I really think Chisora is bricking it. He's got to fight like he's never fought. We just might be surprised at what we see from him.
To be honest the slap seemed to really not only surprise Vitaly but it rattled him up a bit. That's probablly the hardest he's been hit since the Lennox fight. As soon as he's slapped he kinda looks intimidated and doesn't fight back at all just kinda tries to push Chisora away, not in an agressive I'll kill you way but please don't slap me again kinda way. Remember a boxing match is a lot different than a street fight, if they fought in the streets I think Chisora would probablly fuck him up.
That's a nice picture and he didn't even slap him that hard. Vitaly's chin is overrated. If you watch the slap land Vitaly's knees buckle. Imagine if it was Riddick Bowe giving him the Larry Donald treatment.
First round as good a round as Chisora can have I think. Vitali is vulnerable at this age, but Chisora will not be able to exploit. In fact he will be unlikely to keep up even this pace for much longer.
It took about 2:20 for Vitali to get Chisora under his control. At that point Chisora stopped coming, let's see if he finds his second wind in the second
I'll give Chisora one thing, he's taking way more risks than haye and the vast majority of other Klitschko opponents have. At least he's coming forward and throwing a few punches.
Three rounds gone, 3-0 Vitali as expected. he is landing good shots but Chisora is brave if little else. He comes forwards but isn't landing much of anything. Looks pretty much like Vitali-Arreola
Fourth round was even with neither landing much, Vitali took the fifth but Chisora tries some body punches. At least he has a plan
Sixth again closer. Vitali's timing seemed off and he got clipped with two good shots. Perhaps the age (or Chisora's pressure) is starting to show?
I swear all you have to do is take a few risks against Vitali and it's a fight. Chisora is doing nothing special, he is simply trying to win, and I believe even stunned Vitali this round. He probably drops a decision or gets stopped late, but all it takes to create some suspense against Vitali is the will to win and the balls to let your hands go.
This guy will beat Wlad for sure. Vitali needs to retire. This guy is doing nothing more than blitzing VK and he having trouble.
Pretty bold statement considering that this 40 year old has so far lost at most two out of eight rounds
Agreed, Vitali should retire now. Chisora is basic and scrubby, and is having more success than he should. Vitali has looked slower and weaker than usual since round 1.
