Otto Wallin's Performance Was Shameful

It's worth noting that Chisora has a quite unique style. He cannot be shoehorned with a limited slugger label, because he changes levels a lot, bobs and weaves, blocks horizontally and elbow flips. A lot of the crossguard movement sets-up the dipping overhand right (which is a linear guard fir for pressure fighter to begin with, with little serpentine movement; as you close most traditional angles for straight punches and uppercuts, while 'shortening' your height or outright weaving if you are commited, protecting the opening that is the top of the head, further discouraging targeting it, as slipping such punch is simply much easier.)

That being said, Wallin lacks power to be a serious threat, and he ain't cute enough to box to decision against the top monsters the division is brimming with in the Saudi money era.

 

I would describe Chisora as crafty.

He is a veteran of the sport. He knows every trick in the book. That; and he comes to fight. No matter how fancy you are, going up to Chisora you better be ready to fight because he definitely will be.

He is more then a brawny tough guy. He is actually pretty clever.

 

This was the exact same Wallin as always. Don't discredit Chisora like that.

Wallin has no power and is extremely tentative. Watch his fights against AJ, Sokolowski, Booker etc.

Same old Wallin. Chisora is just better.

 

Compared to his fight with AJ, Wallin looked like Ali last night.

He puts zero hip movements into his punches. All arm, no hip.

 

Thank you! Chisora would throw some pitiful hooks then squared up right in front of Wallin with his head wide open over his toes and Wallin did nothing! It was a horrible fight between what looked like 2 D+ or C-- fighters at best. . Only thing worse were the announcers telling me how thrilling this was.

 

Those Brit announcers were performing audio fellatio on Chisora starting at his ring walk. Disgusting. I appreciate rooting for the home team, but his was ridiculous.

 

Wallin just isn't that good, and Chisora's pressure and street fighting style is the worst type of style for Wallin.

 

Hrgovic would have smashed Wallin into pieces.

 

Wallin has always been that type of fighter. He’ll throw 90% soft probing jabs and maybe once in a blue moon will throw the left. There is a reason Joshua chose him for a confidence rebuilder. Also Chisora is the only bobbing and weaving short pressure fighter in the division the last 15 years. Most of these HWs are completely unaccustomed to fighting against that style.

 

Paid handsomely to spar for 12 rounds and not ruin the party

 

Looked like a cab driver in there, and that was AJ's best win in the last 5 years..

 

Wallin is a decent boxer but he seems to have zero power, especially when faced with a hard head like Chisora.

 

If Wallin didn't cut Fury, we would never have heard of Wallin again.

 

That's a wild statement to make about somebody that ate like 40% of Chisora's windmills flush.
