Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-05-07, too much holding and too many interruptions: Kubrat Pulev vs Dereck Chisora gets two stars.Kubrat Pulev entered this fight with a professional record of 22-1-0 (12 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.5 heavyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Tyson Fury). He suffered his only loss when he faced Wladimir Klitschko in 2014 (=Klitschko vs Pulev), after this bout he has beat George Arias (=Pulev vs Arias) and Maurice Harris (=Pulev vs Harris).
His opponent, Dereck Chisora, has a boxing record of 25-5-0 (17 knockouts) and he entered as the No.15 in the same weight class. He also lost in 2014, but against Tyson Fury (=Chisora vs Fury 2) and since then he has won five consecutive fights beating Andras Csomor in his last one. Pulev vs Chisora is valid for the vacant EBU (European) heavyweight title; they also faced each other a second time on July 9, 2022 (Dereck Chisora vs Kubrat Pulev 2).

Silly scoring, but a fun one to watch.
I had it a tie, giving rounds 1-5 and 8 to Pulev. He seemed to wilt in the second half. Chisora was busy enough with the body attack to win all but one round after the sixth.
The score of 118-110 for Pulev is absurd. He can comfort himself with that gift, but I think most of the top ten heavyweights would beat his predictable one-dimensional game. Worth noting here is that Wladimir made easy work of Pulev, while Fury has beat Wlad and Chisora (twice).
The only possible score (even being kind to Chisora) is 9 rounds Pulev 3 rounds Chisora. Chisora should really have lost a point for continually striking the back of the head as he had more than enough warning to stop. Never mind the Eastern Europeans holding, one of the greatest exponents of holding was the one and only Muhammad Ali.
Whats the name of the song when Pulev joined ???
it should be this one “Beyond The Black – Lost In Forever”

At least they are European. The f*ckin’ so called British are actually Africans and they are coming for you from behind:-)
