The takam win revived his career. He took a real beating in that fight and he impressed me how much he absorbed against the ropes. Was a proper old man performance with the finish coming out of no where. Not many fighters have entertained like del boy.
Chisora did incredibly well against Usyk aswell, as far as I can remember. Alot of people thought it was going to be an easy fight for Usyk, on paper, but wasn't.
Usyk said he held back against Chisora to convince AJ that he wasn't that good as a HW so he'd consider the matchup. Most people I would say are talking rubbish in those situations, but if Usyk says it, I believe him haha.
Usyk is good with the mind games aswell, he also rated his performance agaibst Chisora 3 or 4 out of10 straight after the fight if I remember. Basically saying I fought rubbish and still won. Does that contradict his holding back comment or was it to try convince AJ that he wasn't that good and is delusional about it.
I don't rate Wallin at the highest level so it wouldn't surprise me if Del gets the win even though he is reaching the end
I'm not impressed with Wallin. Think his performance against Fury flatters him. Wouldn't be surprised if old Derrick knocks him out
Am I the only who doesn't buy the rubbish that the media and Chisora keep pushing that he's a fans favorite, the UK fans love him and everyone in the UK will be rooting for him on Saturday? Where has all this rubbish come from? Chisora was never a fackin fans favorite. He's just a woman beating thug who is an average boxer. He stinks up every big fight he's ever in and he shows zero class at all to any of his opponents. Spitting, assaulting, mouthing off when no one asked his opinion etc. What part of all of this makes him a fans favorite? The guy is a cuunt. It's like saying Conor Bent is a fans favorite. Fack off. There's very little fighters out there who have a real following because they're good boxers and are stand up guys. Chisora is definitely not in that list.
Exactly this. It's been a very forced narrative that he's as popular as they're making out. I have rooted for him before but think the last time was when he fought Whyte. The commentary when he makes his ring walk will be vomit inducing
Dev Sahni is talking about it getting emotional when he does his ring walk. What's wrong with these idiots?
I think Parker would've been his best win as I felt Chisora legitimately won their 1st fight and was hard done by on the scorecards. But his best official win has to be Joe Joyce.
Yeah I call BS on that no offence to you but Chisora should be given all the credit no excuses. Unlike Joshua he just went straight at Usyk no messing around and used his aggression, size, physicality, to make it a rough fight for Usyk and that's the way you have to fight him. It's no surprise someone like Briedis also gave Usyk a tough fight by consistently pressuring him. The issue with the bigger Heavyweights now is they haven't got the cardio levels to live with Usyk in the later rounds. And that's where some of the older smaller Heavyweights like Frazier for example who's an elite ATG swarmer with unlimited stamina would maybe have more success vs Usyk.
