    After having watched Usyk vs Witherspoon, I think the Usyk hype has to calm down a bit. Usyk needs some more time to get the feel of it what's it like fighting heavyweights.

    Chisora is a dangerous fight for Usyk. Chisora has nothing to lose, win or loss he will remain the gatekeeper to the top tier fighters. Usyk can lose quite some reputation here.

    I have Usyk winning by late KO or decision, but he's going to struggle quite a bit in the fight.

    Could play out similar to Holy jumping up to HW & getting a standing 8 by Cooper. Is Derek, Usyk's Bert Cooper? I can't say his stock drops for me if it is an in-shape Chisora that tests Usyk.

    As you stated -Del Boy having nothing to lose may put it all on the line in under a few rounds hoping Usyk gets overwhelmed or forced into an inside fight to play to the advantage of the bigger, stronger, but slower and shop warned HW.


    I got Usyk, but if he struggles..it may pan out to be that styles-makes-fights-scenario. I won't hold it against him so as long as he finishes the fight strong.

    Finally! The first 4 rounds or so will be competitive but Usyk will surely take over from that point on. I wanna see him make a statement and get Del Boy out of there late in the fight. Expecting a stoppage might sound like a stretch but Michael Hunter showed that he can hang in there with HWs and Usyk is the only one who came close to stopping him.

    Usyk has no chance. Chisora is too big, too tough. I think he will knock Usyk out within 4 or 5 rounds.

    I think it has points all over it, unless Del can land a hail Mary

    I think it will be tough early, but I predict Usyk will pull away in the second half of the fight and win about 8-4 on the cards

    If Chisora still has something left? It will be a tough night for Usyk

    Chisoras is no joke, but you have to believe that Usyk will box him to a wide decision.

    This should be a fun fight either way, really looking forward to this one. Chisora may be no world beater, but on his day he'll give nearly anyone a hard nights work.

    This puny Usyk can't match strength to strength with these gargantuan sized behemoths! Please return to cruiserweight before your seriously hurt cupcake!

    If he is able to take the punches he receives, I think Usyk will win by wide UD. This will be a good test though for Usyk and we'll know much better after whether he really is able to mix it with the giant top dogs at heavyweight.

    But PPV on sky? Nah, think I'll pass.

    I think Chisora needs to make the fight and not let Usyk control the pace , make him fight him. Your right , this fight could cost him a big money title fight, but only if Chisora has a good effort .

    I think this'll be a comprehensive clowning. Chisora won't be able to live with Usyk's movement and speed.
