You know what I feel he is getting quite a raw deal by boxing fans, and just being viewed as someone who got in the way of a big super fight. He is a fighter in his own right, and yes this is not the fight anyone wanted, but it has been made so lets accept it and move on. I've given up on wlad haye and feel it only gets made now as a revenge fight if haye beats vitali. So onwards and upwards lets look towards this fight. The fights we've seen chisora win have all been by brute strength and pressure. Now whilst sexton is no worldbeater, he was a top 5 domestic level opponent an derek systematically wore him down. Granted he didn't have wlad's jab smashing away at him all night, but he did show good conditioning and hand speed, plus a good killer instinct. Am I happy this fight has been made? On one hand no, I would rather see wlad against a meaningful opponent. But on the other, he is flying the flag, and if he wins it's another english champion. So I say it's about time people showed him some support now, afterall he didn't force wlad and haye into ducking each other, he just stepped up to the plate when requested. So i'm backing the big man. If wlad looks past him, and he turns up in top shape, he has a chance. Much bigger upsets have happened, and they have happened to wlad. So come on people, war chisora! Let's hope he capitalises on this great chance!
I am looking forward to Haye vs Chag, if that happens, yes. Pick em fight, if Chagaev comes in somewhat close to his old self. Wlad vs Chisora will be too predictable, as will Solis vs VItali.
I think solis will beat vitali, imo he is the best heavyweight today. I expect haye to punish chagaev like he did ruiz. I expect wlad to smash derek into oblivion, but hopefully my man can pull it off. Chisora will have to fight like brewster did, take a hell of a beating and hope he can wear wlad down. He has the build to do it, but does he have the skills? Hard to say due to how untested he is.
Wlad gets a lot of **** for fighting Chisora but back in December there didn't seem to be anyone better to fight. Chisora committed to the fight and trained for it...Wlad basically owes him this fight and credit to Wlad for honoring his agreements. I honestly don't see why Chisora-Wlad April 30th would be bad for David Haye if Haye wanted to face Klitschko July 2nd. If Chisora beats Wlad, then Haye can fight Chisora and make almost as much money at less risk. That said Chisora is woefully overhyped...BoxRec has him at 9th and he's never gone 12 rounds.
He's never been the best option, he's never fought above domestic level. And if he wins he fights vitali next doesn't he. Yes he is overhyped a lot on here, but i'm routing for him. Wlad hasn't fought a guy with this style for quite some time, a combination pressure fighter. Derek should realistically be ranked round about 50 in the world, but he is only one solid combination from being ranked first :deal All I want is am english undisputed champion, and it now looks like derek is my best bet.
chisora is an *******. He dosen't represent England or Britain and is a nasty mouth. If Wlad wants to turn up on him so what.
He kissed Carl Baker at a weigh in, and bit Paul Butlin on the ear. The guy is bonkers, and needs to be kept in a straight jacket. lol...
