    Great fight, anyone know if this is on UK TV?, Maybe SKY to show after Crolla is KO'd quickly.
    Anyways should be a nice war, definately give Dereck a chance.

    Sure I saw on Twitter that it's going to be on Sky but it isn't on their website

    No sense whatsoever in Chisora taking the Pulev fight (in Germany) instead of the AJ fight. Then again, it is Chisora we are talking about.

    If this fight had happened a couple of years ago, it would have been a close fight. However now I think Chisora is as good as done. Pulev by wide UD I'd say.

    What makes Pulev such a fav, he's done less than Chisora in the last few years. Wlad took his soul and he will never be the same again. (not that he was anything great in the first place)

    This is Chisora vs Helenius II, Pulev can't handle the pressure, he might even fold like Scott.

    Below is a sample of how Pulev is afraid of pressure

    Dereck last chance. If he loses like I expect, he'll end up as a gatekeeper which he probably would have been already if the Scott incident hadn't happened.

    Pulev wide UD.

    Pulev has a ram rod jab and if he sticks to a game plan he should best Chisora. Good fight- because of the Sauerland tie up it should be on Sky.

    Tyson Fury took Chisora's soul. Pulev isn't a world beater, but I think he's better than Chisora. Some great odds on Chisora just to win by any method:

    Worth a few quid if you genuinely have faith in him in this fight.

    pulev struggles with C level fighters. Fortunately El Chiz was nothing more than a fringe contender even when prime. He has a chance.

    Is this a final eliminator for the IBF?

    He might have. He wasn't badly hurt at all, and he was clearly outboxing Chisora up until that point.

    I'm no fan of Scott to say the least, but be fair here. There was no indication of Chisora even being in the fight until the knockdown.

    I thought Parker-Takam was the final eliminator to be mandatory for AJ and this was just a standard eliminator.

    Might be wrong.

    Stakes are pretty high in this fight. Probably the last chance for bot men to get a title shot. Should be a good fight to watch!
