I find Whyte so annoying, he tries so hard to get under his opponents skin it almost seems desperate, he just rants and comes off poorly. Chisora I think knew exactly what he was doing he knew he was going to chuck that glass of water at Whyte right from the start, he's done things similar too many times, it was a calculated move to build the fight and get under Whyte's skin. You could see here who the veteran was. Fight should be good. Chisora always shows up to fight and won't back down and while Whyte is the more talented he's very hittable as we saw against Lewison. Maybe Chisora can cause an upset if he doesn't take too much damage early and can keep pressing late in the fight, but I suspect Whyte will have a little too much and will win a decision.
Chisora's done and I don't even rate Whyte highly, I think the Lewison fight showed his still british/euro level but man Chisora's performance against Pulev was one of the worst I've seen after Malik Scotts recent showing. It should go similar to the Lewison fight with Chisora probably making it to the final bell. Whyte is annoying he gives off this sense of achievement when really his biggest achievement is rocking AJ in a british title fight and getting knocked later than everyone else against AJ. With that being said I think you need that over-confidence to get to the top even though you don't have to channel it how Whyte does.
Did anyone see this interview? There was an incident where Chisora threw a glass of water in the face of Whyte. What was your view of this and also how do you see this fight going?
Yeah that's the perfect way to describe Whtye and yes that over confidence might help him but it may also hinder him and prevent him from ironing out those flaws because he already think he has what it takes. His attitude kind of reminds me of Groves during the Froch fights. Chisora is clearly past his best days, he had a lot of tough fights. I'd pick prime Chisora to win a close fight but now I think he can't keep up the pressure necessary over the course of the fight. But I will be rooting for Chisora here.
You hit on the main reason why Chisora will lose. His stamina is complete dog **** and he cannot get the pressure needed. Him against Pulev was frustrating to all hell because he'd win exchanges when he had energy. He also doesn't have enough to fight for an entire round. Whyte looked improved in the stamina department. Whyte should win relatively easily. I don't fall for Chisora's self hating "I need to be caged because I'm a wild beast" routine. Not when against real comp.
I'll be amazed if this fight doesn't go the distance. Both are evenly matched, I don't think chisora is done yet. I can see whyte getting his hand raised but only just
Nelson looks like a clown in that bodysuit-style outfit. The fight will underwhelm I think. I'm seeing a boring UD12 win for Chisora.
I think it's mainly for show, he has shown some improvement since the Joshua fight in terms of boxing skills, so I do think he is improving the problem is he just isn't that naturally talented to me but hey I guess if Charles 'the god' Martin can win a belt why can't whyte. Lol you mean his had a lot of tough beatings, Chisora has never been top level his like the Martin Murray of the HW division always falls short against the best.
Whyte got his under skin in the end, you can see it in Chisora's face how wound up he was by the end of it and I don't blame him. Kept his cool throughout and was relaxed but couldn't get a word in edgeways and Whyte kept mouthing off, can hear it in Chisora's voice before he got up, just had enough. I think this is destined to go the distance, even with all the needle I reckon Whyte will come to box first. He should win on points, better stamina now and better boxing skills.
