Klitschko beats Chisora, retains WBC heavyweight title

PanARMENIAN.Net - Vitali Klitschko (44-2, 40KOs) retained the WBC heavyweight title with a twelve round unanimous decision over a very tough Dereck "Del Boy" Chisora (15-3, 9KOs), BoxingScene.com reported.

Prior to this match, Chisora vowed to redeem the UK public by putting forth a game performance after the lackluster effort from David Haye in last July's loss to younger brother Wladimir Klitschko. The scores were 118-110, 118-110 and 119-111.

The fight started at a quicker pace than some of Vitali's past fights. Chisora pushed the tempo by coming forward and threw a lot of punches. Many of the shots were off the mark with Vitali landing hard counters in return. Chisora certainly came to fight and landed good punches to the head and body of Klitschko in several of the rounds. Because of Chisora's aggressive nature, Vitali abandoned the jab and used hard right hands to keep Chisora back. In the championship rounds, Chisora was coming forward but not active enough to change the tide.
