    What's Derek Chisora really like?

    After the "ear-bite" fight at York Hall the **** purposely bumped into me and gave a "come on then" look... I hope he gets ****ing battered and never steps foot in a ring again.

    Oh, and I forgot at a time when most people were concerned about job losses as a result of the economic crisis he said about a fine "I don't care it's only money."

    Not when someone I really care about had a breakdown because of losing their job...

    He's obviously gone to the same trash school as Haye. At least Haye has some reason to be a big mouth, Chisora is just going to look dumb on Saturday night. I hope Wlad is in Austin type form.

    You can come to the conclusion that he's a scum bag by the way he behaves inside the ring too.

    Haye looks far more pathetic because he's ducking Wlad. Chisora deserves respect for at least attempting to beat Wlad.

    Did Del Boy know them too ?? It's not his responsibilty to worry about everyone else is it ? He's getting paid good money because he sacrificed a lot to get where he is and he takes punches for a living.

    Of course I'm not saying that he knew them but my friend's story was replicated across the country. The only way that he couldn't have been aware of the worries of most of the nation as if he didn't watch the news or read a paper...

    Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it was a great thing to say, but personally it wouldn't annoy me

    From what is reported i agree that he looks somewhat unhinged.I have also read about his relatively affluent background and find it hard to piece the two together.:huh
    There is a history of unhinged boxers (especially heavyweight),who have gained this trait through a unsettled upbringing and a hard life, it's what shapes their persona.It can give an animal instinct that is needed in the square ring.This is normally attributed to some success in the with a good mentor behind them.Or sometimes blowing up in unfortunate circumstances!.
    What i can't workout is where Chisora has got his madness from?,and whether he actually has what it takes when it comes to it.To me it almost seems like a spoilt brat kind of thing.;ie
    biting when backed into a corner
    hitting women
    flippant comments about serious situations

    as a rule i try not to connect with a fighter emotionally and try to look at ring-craft and skills and merit on that alone...but it is hard not to get drawn in by humour and personality.

    I wish him luck as i do any fighter from (almost) these shores.
