    The bookies have him at 10-1, do they know something we dont, as they are not temping odds.

    Every fighter has a chance.

    The question is, how much of a chance?

    At 10 to 1, bet everything you have on Vitali.

    Everything you have, everything you can sell, everything you can borrow.

    I like Chisoras swarming fighting style, and in the right frame of mind he is better than people give him credit for......however he has never faced anyone on Vitalis level.

    I just dont see how he can beat an amazing specimen of a fighter who has more experience, is stonger, taller, and more importantly is of a higher skill level.

    He does have certain traits like the fact that he fights at a fast pace and likes to pressure with decent head movement. i feel these are needed to take on Vitali, but hes never faced anyone this good before.

    Even after the slap i want him to win but IMO he has a 15% chance

    How do you mean?

    10-1 in a 2 horse race is pretty big.

    In most other fights the underdog is usually 3-1.

    So If you think Chisora can score a lucky punch then 10-1 seems pretty generous.

    That said though I think it unlikely that Chisora can hurt Vitali......after all he didn't really hurt Helenius and he couldn't knock down Fury.

    If them odds are smaller than what was expected its probably down to patriotic Brits who saw the slap. Odds still ain't good enough to even bother touching Vitali though

    Chisora has modelled himself on Smokin Joe.......only he doesn't hit as hard and hasn't got that great left hook of Joe's.
    Chisora himself said he'd beat Vitali Joe Frazier style.
    Joe Frazier may have stood a chance against Vitali.......I'm no so sure Chisora does though.

    The odds on Vitali when Chisora is 10 to 1 is about 22/1 odds on for Vitali.
    Why would anyone really want to stake 22 pounds/dollars to win 1 pound/dollar?:?

    Well Tyson Fury won virtually every round against Chisora so you can't give him much of a chance.

    But!! If a powerful man like Chisora lands flush.....who knows?

    very unlikely. I see this going to the same way the danny williams fight went.

    He's a big guy and Vitali is old, so yes.

    Yeah he has a chance, odds are only 10-1. I have seen much bigger upsets. I fully expect klitschko to win though.
