I was just thinking Chisora should fight Makhnudov. But Zhang is also fine. Zhang is more known and he is not too dangerous. If Chisora survives first 5 rounds, he wins.
Chisora is a veteran with a still pretty decent chin who knows how to survive an early onslaught from Zhang. Zhangs only chance is to get him out early which will most likely not happen and after that Chisora will stop him mid late rounds.
Let me get this straight....Derek Chisora in his 50th and final fight came up with a short list before he is gone forever. Next, Frank Warren sees Chisora's list and says I give two shyts what Chisora wants in his last fight, I'll force him into a fight with Zhang in China.....and that sounds great BUT!
In context:
Chisora's last fight on the road is a ridiculous request, it should be a nonstarter and I'm sure it is.
Brit vs American is a super fight in the UK. It's Chisora's last fight at home, and in today's political climate, people will tune in to see an American get his ass kicked. It's a money fight for both.
It's Chisora's last fight, you are either on the list or go f*&k yourself .
Can Zhang have a second wind at age 42? I mean it is not impossible but it is certainly difficult task especially when he is trying to bounce back from a beat down from Kabayel. Crazy that Zhang never got a title shot nor attained a world championship belt.
Probably be one of those what ifs like David Tua, if Zhang was younger.
This fight is bad news for Chisora. Zhang has unbelievable hand speed for such a big guy and is probably P4P the hardest puncher in the sport. Chisora got out boxed by Washington of all people but was gifted the win. Chisora either gets knocked out cold or loses via TKO after accumulative damage in the same way Joyce lost the first fight against Zhang.
