Vitali Klitschko Vs. Dereck Chisora: On Saturday Vitali Klitschko will look to walk through another top opponent in Dereck Chisora. Vitali, Despite getting up in age is a huge favorite in this bout, He will likely use his great height to stay away from Delboy Chisora and work his jab at range. But then again at Vitali's age you never know, His athletic ability will have to fade at some point! And Chisora is powerful so an upset isn't impossible but surely not expected. Chisora's last performance verses Robert Helenius really impressed me, Chisora did well pushing the action and working the body of the also tall Helenius only to loose a very bad Split-Decision in Helenius's hometown that most thought he clearly won. If he comes with the same tactics he did verses Helenius he could give Vitali a decent fight.

What I expect: Vitali looked great again his last fight, Brutalizing and absolutely dominating a top contender in Poland's Tomasz Adamek. So it seems he isn't fading yet. I just don't see Chisora being able to land on the tall Vitali. He'll probably be stuck behind Vitali's jab, Getting picked apart and stopped late.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Undercard info: Exciting HeavyweightJohnathan Banks will defend his NABF title against tough journeyman Nicolai Firtha. British level contender Stephem Smith will take a warm up before his upcoming challenge verses Ben Jones, and Welterweight contender Sergiy Fedchenko will face Hugary's Laszlo Fazekas in a tough fight.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: This will likely be a slaughter by Vitali Klitschko, A little harder then Adamek but he shouldn't count out a tough fighter like Chisora.

Note: Chisora has had some weight issues before, He was horribly out of shape verses Tyson Fury last summer, He got completely outclassed by a fighter that he would have KO'd if he was in shape. What a wasted opportunity. Hope he is devoted Saturday like he was with Helenius.

War Delboy!
