Comments Thread For: Derek Chisora battles through blood to defeat Otto Wallin in his UK swansong

[SceneBoxer]

He had three pictures of fighters and wanted the crowd to choose ; AJ , Whyte and Usyk
Love him but seriously looking for some brain damage imo

Whyte was not in the big pictures... the 3rd one is Dubois....

Tells you everything about Chisora.

He's got enough credit in the bank to have a stage managed and well matched 50th fight where he can finish on a win and a big payday.

But what he wants is a war. Even if it means finishing in a loss. The guy is born again hard. Keep your gangster types. This guy is as tough as they come.

Del Boy is for real

Just hope that it doesn’t cost him his sanity

I'd still be up for Chisora - Big Baby, if only for the pre-fight tomfoolery

What ???
Your trolling I’m hoping
Slow Eddie selling you guys the greatest fight on the fughin planet and it will sell well : the great Eubank vs Benn
Wanna bet your neighbours are attending ???

That's my point. It isn't British boxing fans who lap everything up, it's the British general public. There is a huge difference.

Well done Derek. He keeps on keeping on.

Wallin, well, fame from having cut Fury and going the distance, but that was a one-sided fight actually.

I'm not sure why they said it's Chisora's swansong in England, as he could have future bouts with fellow Brits.

You probably need to rewatch it. Fury was almost knocked out in the last round too.

Chisora is a weird case because he's got his mental approach to boxing correct way after his physical prime.

In his 20s he was a notoriously lazy trainer and it showed several times in fights with poor stamina and lacklustre performances.

If he was putting in the effort in his 20s that he does now he'd have achieved more, but nonetheless it's still a super entertaining run by old man Chisora right now.

Yes, I used to think having chisora on your resume is no big deal. But he's proved very capable, the wins are looking good for fury over chisora,

I said for years Wallin needed a better promoter in his prime years. Wins over Kauffman & Breazeale following the Fury fight should have got him in the mix but instead Salita couldn't get him big fights. His best earning years wasted...

Agreed, I ****** that same drum. I remember Wallin from the amateurs and throughout his professional career. I definitely rated Wallin's ceiling fairly high (top 10 potential); I thought he had good skills, was sturdy and a bit awkward. He fought Fury fairly well (8-4 in rounds) and had good wins against Breazeale and Gassiev. It was frustrating to see him languish under Salita with big fights talked about but never materializing.

Maybe I just don't know anything about boxing because he's looked dreadful recently. Poor fitness, lethargic and while he never had much power there is absolutely no sting on his punches anymore. Perhaps he was never good but I think he's just completely fallen off a cliff in terms of desire and skills.

Del Boy has been my favorite fighter going back to the Klitschko fight. The big Ukrianian never really seemed to have much buzz around his fights but when Derek slapped him and caused all that chaos leading up to the fight I gained interest. Typically I don't like those kind of antics but I always enjoyed what Chisora would do. That iconic union jack worn over his face like a wild west bandit....classic.

One of the few fighters who would rather go out on his shield than lose in a decision. Will always be a fan. A fighter from a different era ...
