Where are you getting this from? Chisora said at the presser that the reason why he's not going to do anything crazy in the build up is because he's not getting a share of the PPV buys so he has no incentive to promote the fight. Having said that it wouldn't shock me if someone pulled out.
Good fight this, interesting too... Whyte is the guy on the up where's Del Boy may now be on the slide. To be honest, I don't really rate Whyte in the sense of achieving anything at world level. But credit where it's due he's taking his training/nutrition more seriously now and wants to be involved in big fights. For me this all depends on which Chisora turns up. I think he'll be right up for this given that it's against Whyte on a PPV show, so hopefully we'll see him in good shape. He may have been in a few battles, but if he comes in shape I think he certainly has one more big performance in him i.e. Vitali, Helenius..... and that would see him through against Whyte.
Agreed. In fact, come to think of it Whyte is really Chisora 2.0 - in the sense he will reach fringe world level at best, and probably get a world title shot, putting in a decent showing but losing. On the basis he's fresher and probably more motivated, I think Whyte takes this, but I say that with little certainty.
Del lied his arse off to IFL pretending that it wasn't signed and he wanted an extra zero etc. Doesn't bode well for Del's state of mind when he is already lying. Eddie is many things but surely he isn't stupid enough to hold a press conference for the fight that is the only chance of redeeming his PPV and not have the necessary signatures.
Makes for a good fight this; early KO for either fighter or Whyte KO late on for me, Chisora will struggle to maintain a decent work rate as the fight progresses into the mid/late rounds!!
Both have solid chins with overrated power. No chance of an early KO IMO and I believe it will go the distance unless someone quits.
Absolutely. Not sure where people are getting the idea from that this will be explosive. I can't see how their styles will gel at all. Hope I'm wrong though.
Agreed also don't think either have the power to stop the other, one. If your looking for a show stealer it will be yafai v concepcion
Would Del B have stopped Lewison or Allen? Methinks he probably would have done at least one of them, so I have to give the edge to Del here. I think there could be fireworks though.
Lewison was stopped by Whyte. Not sure Chisora would have stopped Allen that night as Allen simply wasn't throwing and was looking to survive from the start and hoping Whyte gassed.
