I am glad he has pulled out, I hope its not through injury though. Larry is a nice guy but Chisora would have finished his career on the night.
I'm disappointed that we might not get Chisora in a meaningful fight now, but frankly for me that is where we were anyway - Larry was never going to give him much trouble, surely? I felt it could only go one of two ways: either Chisora flattens Larry quickly and we learn little about Chisora and get confirmation that Larry is a fundamentally limited boxer, or Larry beats Chisora and we figure neither of them will go anywhere beyond domestic level. So while I hope that Larry is okay, if anything this will make Chisora delay his return then come up with a better opponent. So it might be good news for reasons other than simply not wanting Larry to get hurt.
Be interesting to see Derek Chisora. "Apart from David Haye, who probably shares this same opinion of mine" Its frustrating to see so many lazy black fighters around these days. I don't know weather its a generational thing, but most black heavyweights are really lazy these days. Derek Chisora is a repeat offender when it comes to simple things in life..? like keeping good general fitness. "How hard is it..? when thats what you get paid to do..?" I think he is a better fighter than Tyson Fury, but his share laziness, and poor work ethic leading up to that fight, cost him the victory. There is absoulute no excuse for the shape and condition he was in during that fight, fair enough if he had thyroid issues or health complications....maybe so. But there is nothing wrong with Derek Chisora, but i think he lacks discipline and work ethic. What a pathetic fighter, was he comfort eating because Wladimir Kiltscko pulled out of their fight..? Pathetic, and a embarrasment for black athlete's.
wont be price hes got a date with mcdermott and thats a british title eliminator so theres no way that will happen.
Hopefully this means that Larry O has realised that you need more than an impressive set of muscles to become a heavyweight champion, you need to be a true fighter, and that's why John McDoughnut sparked him out in two...
