Wladamir Klitscko vs Derek Chisora done deal for December 11th

It is disgusting that your love of Wlad runs so deep that you are willing to build up Chisora as a great challenger instead of just admitting this is a ****ing terrible fight.

Without question 3 of the clearest signs that the HW division is completely ****ed:

Vitali v Briggs
Haye v Harrison
Wlad v Chisora

 

My initial reaction was to roll my eyes, but...

Chisora is undefeated (if untested), and if he's in shape and motivated he might be able to put up a pretty spirited effort which might help his cause, even in defeat.

Wlad obviously wants a stay busy fight, and that means that he was going to have to either face an older, but more recognizable name, or a younger lesser known prospect/contender. Boytsov might have been the best choice (and a better record and ranking in other magazines) but Chisora does have a national and Commenwealth title, and the knowledge that he really has nothing to lose by giving it his best shot.

Could be worse, all things considered.

 

i never heard of this Chisora dude....and he is fighting Wlad for the title?
damn!,no wonder why HBO dropped their deal with wlad.

 

Ranked by who and how high? Last time I checked, Chisora wasn't ranked in the top 15 by either the IBF or WBO.

 

Props to Del Boy. I am now a fan.

 

I understand Wlad trying to stay active but this is ridiculous. Wlad has close to 60 fights and now they are considering fighting rookies with about 15 fights.atsch There's gotta be a better suited opponent than that. Toney, Thompson rematch, Dimitrenko, anybody with some experience.

 

Uk heavyweight rankings.

 

Good choice! And Chisora is willing to fight!

Alexander Povetkin should be ashamed of himself!

 

It's a ballsy step up from Chisora.

As far as criticizing Wladimir - really, what's he supposed to be doing at this point? :conf

If Haye, Povetkin, Valuev, or Adamek aren't options what exactly is he supposed to do? No any one guy out of the Gomez/Solis/Dimitrenko/Toney/Ibragimov field is really better than the next, or than Chisora really.

 

So who should he fight ?

Realistically ?

 

Agreed....what is he supposed to do? He can only fight the best fighters that are available and willing to fight. And that's what he is doing.

 

Props to him for wanting the fight but that could harm his career. I mean he will get hurt badly and KTFO I believe while he is not ready for the world-class level yet. Even a guy like Byrd was shocked after his loss to Wladimir. It can have a huge negative impact on his confidence.

 

hmmmm... who should i bet on in this fight?

 

:rofl

"Always bet on the black guy". :deal
