Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs Chisora: Derek Ready For Big Career Chance

[FloydTBE]

It's easy, I'm not even a Klitschko fan really but it's either:

Wladamir v Chisora on Dec 11th.

Or Wladamir doesn't fight on Dec 11th and just waits until next year to fight again.

Wlad just fought several weeks ago, he'd be well within his rights to just relax until next year. But he's taking a stay busy fight in December against an undefeated prospect and in the process elimination an option (Chisora) for David Haye to duck him again next year.

A lot of boxing fans don't understand the difference between a stay active fight and not fighting at all. They think just because a fighter is fighting again so soon after a previous fight that they can immediately jump in with the best, at this short notice their isn't really any one available for Wlad.

Anyone who has a problem with Wlad v Chisora answer this question;

Would you rather Wlad fought Chisora on Dec 11th? Or Wlad not fight until next year?

I hear you.
It does make sense, but the choice of opposition has to be questioned. A guy with 14 fights to his name. Not fought above british level.

How are the Klitachko fans gunna defend this fight

Klitschko fans don't need to defend this fight. If you have been paying attention no one in the division wanted to face him this December. Klitschko went after everyone but no one wanted a part of him. Further to that, he's been fighting the top guys in the division so a defense against a lesser established opponent is acceptable...

Dont think the fight has been finalized yet?

Per Dan Rafael's friday chat the fight hasn't been signed yet but it's likely that it will be signed shortly. Frank Warren and Derick Chisora both seem to be on board and want the shot..

Also, Leon Spinks was 7-0-1 when Muhammad Ali choose him as an opponent so there is a precedent for a fight like this against an unexperienced and unproven opponent...

Yeah.
How yuo see the fight going?

[edgarg]

You know a division's bereft of serious competition when its champion is going to beat up an antique collector on eBay.

HAHAHAHA........Boy is THAT funny.......Is THAT funny............>>.......Is that FUNNY?

[BostonGuy]

Yeah.
How yuo see the fight going?

I see the fight going, 'business as usual' for Wlad. He's gonna be cautious, methodical at first but if he senses any flaws in Chisora's defense early on, he'll **** him out and get the mid round KO. I see this fight going 7 rounds max...

I think Chisora deserves more than 200K for fighting Wlad.

were you there when they Klits went after "everyone", the face is he is facing a guy with 14 fights and british level opp. he might have talent but no one with that level experience should get a title shot

Yeah 200k is a bit of a crap deal but i suppose as he only has 14 fights he has got no leverage to get more. I hope del boy proves to the people that have called him a bum wrong.
