I have never seen that mythical version of Chizzo either. The man's claim to fame was a 12 round loss against a one armed man, an undeserved 12 round loss to a onearmed man and a 9 count come from behind "KO" win against Scuba Scott.
How come they were clearly boxing with two arms if you say they only had one arm? Excuses are for losers.
Chisora literally does nothing well. --Small --Average power --Not a classic boxer in any sense--no defense, footwork, jab etc. --Sometimes called a "pressure fighter," often shows up out of shape and slogs through terrible fights --used to have a good chin, but Haye broke it
Good post,sean! I quite agree with you. Chisora is tailor made for the Bulgarian IMO. The only chance Chisora has is to overpower Pulev and go after him with flying colours from the very first second of the very first round. Pulev's stamina is a little question mark IMO.Chisora looked very mediocre against Pala but turned the tables when the Czech ran out of gas after 2 dominating rounds.I guess Pulev's stamina is far better than Pala's one,but he has switched coaches,lives in Bulgaria and just stays a few weeks in Germany to train there for his fights. The longer the fight goes on the more destructive Pulev's jab will be.He will systimatically dismantle Chisora and finally stop him unless Chisora puts all his eggs into one basket and goes after Pulev as he did with Pala.
From WBN: Pulev v Chisora was confirmed just three weeks on from an IBF approved final eliminator between Joseph Parker and Carlos Takam, which has led to some confusion as to why another clash has been sanctioned so soon. International Boxing Federation Chairman Lindsey Tucker had this to say exclusively to World Boxing News on the matter: With the IBF, in order for a boxer to be ranked number one or number two, he must fight in an IBF-sanctioned twelve round eliminator, he explained. Kubrat Pulev and Derek Chisora are two of the top five available boxers in the ratings and have been approved to fight for the number two position. Once the winner of Joseph Parker v Carlos Takam (number one eliminator) fights for the title, the winner of Pulev vs. Chisora (number two ranked) must then fight again to become the new number one and also the mandatory challenger. Current champion Charles Martin defends his belt against Anthony Joshua on April 9 in London before a voluntary period of seven months begins. Martin or Joshua would have to face the winner of Parker v Takam by November of 2016, whilst the eventual victor of the Pulev v Chisora could have the opportunity to secure mandatory status during this period. Pulev or Chisroa would eventually get their shot at the IBF belt at some point in the first half 2017, dependent on the interim activity of the champion and obviously his future opponents.
I ve seen those fights.HOwever,Chisora's style is quite different from Ustinov's ,Thompson's and Dimitrenko's one. He makes an opponent sweat with his come forward style and relentless attacks.I cant really see him winning against Pulev, but his only chance is probably to go for Pulev from the very first second of the very first round.Pulev's outstanding jab will neutralize any weapon Chisora has at his disposal the longer the fight goes on.Pala did quite well against Chisora but then ran totally out of puff.Sure,Pulev is no Pala and plays in a different dimension,but Chisora wont be able to ko Pulev or outbox him and win a point decision.His only realistic chance is to go for him and made him sweat and tired.He did look a bit tired against Arias who didnt put that much pressure on the Bulgarian.Chisora is able to attack an opponent for the entire 3 minutes of a round,espcially within the first 3-4 rounds. Anyway! I guess Pulev will take him out of action between round 6-12.Pulev is totally wrong for Chisora IMO.
Haha! You are right but on the other hand you are too harsh on him.Sounds contradicting and paradox.Nah! He has serious flaws.NO doubt about it. However,he is a decent pressure fighter when up to the game as he showed in his fight against Pala.The Czech was winning the first two rounds but totally out of puff in the third due to his Chisora's relentless pressure.Reminded me a bit of Arslan vs Drozd.Drozd was head and shoulders above Arslan in terms of talent,firepower,and so on but he couldnt just handle Arslan's merciless pressure and ran out of gas. Chisora is truly mentally tough,a born warrior.He can take a good punch and if his stamina is fine he is a quite dangerous fighter despite his seize and lack of firepower. Anyway! Pulev is just the wrong opponent for him.He is tailor made for the Bulgarian.
No he's not. Now if you'd have said Pulev is going to win dam near every round off Chisora you'd be believed.
