I think what we will see is that some of the better prospects will be rushed into Klitschko fights due to lack of real contenders, the likes of Mitchell, Fury, Price will be given a shot before they are ready. Retirement is the only way we have new HW champions for me.
''Better than before'' would be the phrase I'd use. He's quite thick set, so at 6'1'' I'd want him in the 220's.
He should be in absolute tip top condition - not only is this the biggest opportunity of his life, he is against by far the best fighter of his career.
Just watching the video of him on the punch bag. Has he always shaken his fists before throwing? I've never noticed before, but then I've never really been looking for it. He's going to give someone like Vitali a very easy nights work if its become an ingrained habit.
:deal This. The guy was all like, "Del, why don't you like me? You don't like talking to me do you?" Way to go out on a limb there, buddy. That's such a brave pick, you'll really bet that Vitali will win outright? That's insane. Atleast you haven't gone completly mental and picked a method of victory for your bold choice.
The heavyweight scene is certainly ****ed up these days. Not taking anything away from Del Boy but I'm confused as to how you can lose a British title fight then straight after lose in a European title fight and after that be put in a World title fight. :nut
It's because he clearly beat Helenius, everyone knows, so Vitali picked Chisora over Robert. Good on Vitali for ignoring the blatantly wrong decision.
fair play to dereck for taking this fight, you know he's gonna give it his all aswell instead of the last few who already had one foot in the queue at the bank to cash there cheque. i think this fight goes the same way as the sosnowski fight, del boy coming of worse from most of there exchanges for most of the fight and getting walloped late probably by an uppercut or right cross.
Well one loss really! and he's looking pretty quick on the pads and if he does connect any heavy can knock another out so he'll always have a punchers chance!
