Klitschko vs. Chisora Round by Round Updates
4:35 pm – The EPIX broadcast of Klitschko-Chisora is underway. There’s going to be a slight delay, apparently, as Chisora is trying to pull some gamesmanship. And so, Chris Mannix is interviewing David Haye, the least credible guy in the world to say anything about fighting or facing the Klitschko brothers. Hey, David Haye – STFU. You wasted your chance.
4:50 pm – Still waiting here. Apparently Chisora almost got into a brawl with Wladimir Klitschko while his hands were getting wrapped, and then threatened to back out of the fight. Klitschko says Chisora’s camp wasn’t wrapping their hands properly, and he had to call them out on yet.
Now being told the ring walks won’t even begin until 5:10 pm. What a joke, c’mon guys.
