In one of the most personal boxing matches of the year, it was David Haye defeating Dereck Chisora on Saturday night via fifth-round knockout to win the WBA Intercontinental and WBO Heavyweight International championships.
Looking at this fight, it is amazing how much bad blood can come out of
just one incident that took place five months ago. In case you forgot,
Chisora and Haye got involved in a brawl at a press conference following
Chisora's loss to Vitali Klitschko.
That one incident led to Haye coming out of his short-lived retirement.
Despite not having the kind of long, drawn-out build that some of the
best matches in boxing history have had, this was one of the most
anticipated fights of the year between this two British rivals.
Rd 5: Chisora comes in and misses a sloppy shot. Then Haye backs up and lands a huge right, spins around, and lands another big right. He's leading with the straight right now. Haye picking him apart, then Haye pummels him with a right hook that sends Chisora to the canvas. Chisora gets up and holds on while Haye looks to pour it on. He lands a four or five shot combination including a few big hooks, and Chisora gets planted again. He makes it up by the count, but the referee waves it off!
