During training camp for their fight tonight...
David Haye's key sparring partner was - Bryant Jennings
Tony Bellew's key sparring partner was - Dereck Chisora
Put them in a ring together and who wins - Chisora vs Jennings?
Neither guy because the British Boxing authorities would find out, see the potential for a riveting match and terminate it post haste!
Seriously though... I like Chisora always have...the guy has put himself in a great position, he has fought at the top of the pyrmid and done respectably, even when losing. Jennings is a good fighter with some skills as well, but not a philly heavyweight!
If I had to guess I would give it to Jennings because of some serious flaws with Derrick: a) Derrick fights to the level of his comp. b) Derrick has his own ideas about winning and losing and does not "judge" well for fights. Derrick isn't knocking Jennings out, too slow of foot, not enough power or speed in the hands, and thats the bottom line here.
I believe that if Derrick changes certain things he will get another opportunity one day. his experience and willingness to fight all commers will help him at that point. If he starts training a little smarter, he could be a lot better.
I take Jennings over chisora. It would be a great fight but jennings has too many advantages
He has the advantages but doesn't use them too well whereas Chisora has somewhat respectable power and a very sturdy body. It'll be a battle to see which one gasses out first.
