Derek Chisora set to face Otto Wallin in February

I'll pick Wallin. I like his feet and I like his defence and I like his crisp punching. I think he'll make Chisora chase him and piece him up with his technical boxing. Chisora has the power to wipe him out but I don't think he has the footwork to catch up with Wallin.

 

Wallin isn't a contender right now

Not after the AJ loss

 

How much ambition does Wallin have? Del Boy will bring it for four or five rounds and then try to gut it out.
Wallin is neat and tidy but after the Fury loss, he never kicked on never looked for a big fight then got destroyed by AJ.

Different fight this. A win brings some name recognition and a chance at some big fights a loss and it's back to low paying fights.
Wallin will have to take some punches to come through with a win but if he's up right into round 8 and has some ambition to put his punches together he should have enough to beat Del boy.

 

If it was 2018 I'd agree with you, but right now Chisora is so shot and slow that even Wilder on a slide should be able to catch and KO him. Wilder is still pretty fast, despite his incredible lack of skill

 

I define it as people who fought for the HW title.

Anyhow wherever they are in the rankings Wallin should be ahead of Chisora.

 

Entertaining matches is what thew guy likes. No need to take soft touches at this part of his great career

 

That matchup makes no sense for whatsoever. Maybe for Wallin it does but that’s about it. It doesn’t even seem like a good fight on paper.

I would rather see Chisora vs Wardley.

 

That would be a former contender then no?

 

Wallin has literally looked good only once in his career (that I've seen) against Fury, and still he lost.

Thoroughly unimpressed and bored by him in every other fight I've seen. It's like he raised his game and boxed out of his skin for one night only, just like Kambosos did against Lopez.

 

Like some others here, think. I do now question Wallins real ambition. He had zero self belief when he fought AJ. When AJ landed a thudding right to wallins chest early doors I can clearly remember the look on Wallins face which screaming to me, was, ' feck this for a game of soldiers'

Del will most definitely put the pressure on Wallin early doors and crowd and maraude him. It's gonna be a very hard nights work for Wallin, win or lose.




I'm rooting for Derek.



WAR!

 

Chisora got a bit of a lucky one with an unfit and fat Joyce. Wallin wil beat him but it’ll be so dull…

 

Idk, a win over Joyce is better than anything Wallin has achieved.

 

He handed Gassiev his 1st non Usyk loss and Breazeale his 1st non Wilder or AJ loss.

Joyce lost to Chisora something Wallin is unlikely to do.

 

Wallin beat a cruiserweight who hasn't achieved much at heavyweight.

Joyce has wins over Dubios and Parker.

Not hard to figure out which win is better.

 

Wallin has never fought for a heavyweight world title.
