Hard to judge on 3mins of action, but bearing in mind Solis managed to land a few shots on vitali during the round, hypothetically how do you think Del-boy would have done in that fight instead of Solis?
I would personally give him more of a chance than most (provided he came in around 230-340lb). At least we know Chisora will come to fight and not just talk a good game like most Klit opponents.
Could anyone put up a more pathetic showing? Following the events that unfolded at Millwall, which shocked me some what, and the early rise required to make the flight to Glasgow yesterday, I only saw this last night knowing the result which may have influenced this opinion. I honestly believe that Solis was not hurt and, on occassions, had shown that the longer the fight progressed he could have caused trouble. Chisora would have, of course, put up a better, though not much better, perfromance that Solis did on Saturday but, that said, a more genuine perfromance from Solis could have taken Vitali to the distance and maybe, just maybe, a split decision. Chisora could never do that.
the injury was legit and caused by the punch. if his conditioning was better he would not have been affected. Chisora I wouldn't be shocked if he gets the shot at Vitali not sure if Warren would want to waste his time anymore though.
To be honest I was absolutely exhausted when watching it but have kept it on my Sky+... I'll give it another go tonight :good
What you have to keep in mind regarding VK, is that he's a lot better on the backfoot than he is on the front foot, he didn't look good against J C Gomez because he was made to come foward, he did't look particularly good against Sosnowski, Kevin Johnson when made to come foward, but he ultimately still won those fights relatively comfortably. With Vitali you just have to accept that he will look mechanical, ponderous, hittable on the front foot, but that his consistency will generally be too much for his opponents. Haye would probably make VK look foolish early, whilst Haye is fresh, able to move and offset him, but if he wasn't able to get him out of there, VK's robustness, power, consistency, durability, would be a major problem for Haye as he become more stationary from having to move so much.
it all depends on lateral movement for me. if chisora could move his head and get inside klitschko than i think he could cause him a few issues as i think his power and strength is a bit mroe than his kayo record suggests. personally i've never been a big klitschko fan, i can't get past how slow he looks, but he's great at controlling range, but they have been the best of a bad bunch recently and i personally think haye, who's quicker than any opponent they've faced of late and strong in both hands, will cause wlad some issues with his chin, but vitali would be a tougher fight.
Chisora would get dominated by VK imo, he does not cut the ring off well enough, use the jab to close distance, or have enough head movement to get inside. All Chisora is good at imo, is squaring himself up, throwing both hands, he also lacks world class power.
he got tagged on the top of the temple, albeit with a very weak shot but was enough to send him backwards. His legs then just gave way and now the guy is laying up in hospital after snapping cruciate ligaments. Anyone who says he took a dive is just a ****ing idiot.. Solis is a bit of a fat mess though. No excuse for being in that sort of shape.
