    Does he have a legitimate chance to beat Wlad?

    He's a 10-1 underdog in the books..Wondering how esb feels about that.

    I've seen Chisora fight a couple times and haven't been too impressed. He's looked slow fighting slow opponents. And he doesn't seem to have the type of 1 punch knockout power that could threaten wlad.

    I was able to get Klitschko at 1/9 and put 500$ on him right away.

    only if Wlad trips and hurts his back stepping over Chisora's body on the canvas.

    I'm thinking of betting a lot on Klitschko as well, even at current odds. everything ive seen tells me chisora has no chance. i was wondering if anyone had another logical perspective on the fight they says chisora has a chance?

    I'm also kinda wondering how 'game' chisora will be. In other words, is he coming to win or is he coming to get paid.

    when you think of investments, a 10-15% return over an entire year is usually considered a very solid investment. And you won't get that for less risk than Wlad vs Chisora IMO. The only difference is that usually you can stop the bleeding before it's too late. While in sports betting you lose everything in one shot.

    That being said, considering you can make your return in a single night, it's pretty damn good.

    Chisora has no real chance.He is unproven at domestic level.

    haha, i wouldn't exactly put all my money on it.

    I'm just trying to figure out if Chisora has less % chance of winning than the odds say.

    Trips over Chisora and gets hurled trough the ropes, lands on a table from one of the broadcasters and gets moved out of the arena on a stretcher :D

    Nah... Something like that will never ever happen in boxing :bart

    Everyman who steps into the squared ring has a chance to win. People gave buster douglas no chance either.

    All it takes is one man so determined to win he wont accept defeat. That is the glory of boxing.

    Being in Britain, it's great to have hype around what is essentially a no hope fighter in Chisora because the odds on a Wlad win are better than they should be lol.
    Chisora literally has zero chance. What can he bring to the table? What does he do better than Wlad? The answer to both of these quetions is the same... Nothing.

    That's only partly true of course... You may be so determined and you may not accept defeat, but if your body gives or the referee steps in it's over... simple as that! Who would have mentioned James Douglas today if the ref stopped the contest in round 8?

    You're right about every boxer who steps into the ring, with the right mindset has a chance. Only in this case it's quite small.
