    I'd say he stands a decent chance, so long as a motivated, focussed Chisora turns up. When at his best he's a very solid, good fighter - however his mental side often lets him down, be it biting opponents, seeming to be mentally elsewhere...

    If he turns up at his best, ready to fight, then I think he has a really solid chance at this. I think this has the potential to be a really good fight.

    I say 40%. I'd have Chisora as the underdog but wouldn't be shocked speechless if he won. He has a decent enough chance if he gives it his all.

    It was a decent punch against Fury early on.

    I cant see him doing anything. Heleius has a good chin and while slow he places hit shots pretty well and has solid power. RH somewhere between 3-6

    You're giving Chisora enormous odds of winning there. You can actually get 4/1 at the bookies for a Chisora win. I personally have him around 8/1, he's tailor made for Helenius. I suspect Helenius stops him pretty badly in the middle rounds.

    I give him a half decent chance but that's about it. If he won I wouldn't be surprised, but I certainly wouldn't pick him for the upset.

    It's not Del Boy, but rather Helenius. I rate his late round punching power.

    I think Chisora has a great chance. I just do not rate Helenius as highly as other people.

    obviously del boy has a punchers chance, he can dig but i don't expect him lasting 12 rounds

    He has a shot at the upset for sure. Honestly Helenius isn't a world beater in my eyes and will eventually be found out. He has awesome power which makes him exciting to watch.

    An in shape Chisora could do damage. Helenius isn't that great defensively (neither is Chisora) so he can be caught. I could see this being a tear up Saturday.

    Chisora is like a modern day Danny Williams in that I really don't know what to expect from the guy (and I don't think I ever will). He's very hard to judge. The Tyson fight may turn out to be a very misleading metric upon which to estimate his ability. However, in turning up in such bad shape, and presumably taking Fury FAR too lightly, I think he has revealed a certain mental weakness that may be a deciding factor in how his career pans out.

    I haven't seen enough Helinius to call the fight with reasonable confidence, but I expect it to go similarly to the Fury fight, except Helenius will display better defence, control and balance, and may well get a lake TKO (and a UD if he doesn't).

    Yeah he has a chance he looks in good shape... There not miles apart in ability thats for sure, but i think helinius has the raw power.. I think its going to be a good ruck, do we have to suscribe to boxnation for this one..?
