Dereck Chisora vs. Malik Scott RbR & Discusion Thread

[GoldenGloveLove]

Del's already in good shape. He'll get countered to crap though.

I expect Scott to win on points. Not by a wide margin but without any dispute.

He's gonna have to do a lot, in the eyes of the judges, to get the decision. Against Glazkov in his last fight, he looked decent early on but he got too defensive and pedestrian midway to late in the fight - that's why he ended up with a draw. He's got a great jab and is a good counter puncher but he seems unwilling to 'sit down' on his punches to really cause his opponent damage.

Against Chisora, he's got to commit more to his punches, throw 'em with bad intentions and try to hurt his opponent. If he fights the same fight he did against Glazkov he is not going to win the decision in Britain against the homefighter.

Don't know enough about Scott to make a good judgement on this.

But in Boxing News yesterday they said he was a decent, rangy boxer with a more than useful jab but that he seemed to lack real pop on his punches and had not mixed with the top boys enough.

Chisora seems in good shape, is smart enough to know that another defeat will seem him shunted into the role of well-paid gatekeepr and he'll struggle to get a slice of the Fury-Haye action.

I am going for Chisora based upon gut instinct....possibly bulling his way through fairly quickly and getting Scott out of there earlier than predicted.

Based on his last fight I don't see Chisora getting Scott out of there, he could have punched Availa all night and not KO'd him.

Based on what I've seen today, I am leaning towards Del Boy. Looks in fantastic shape. Last time we saw him in that kind of shape he thoroughly beat Helenius and got robbed. The same Chisora hands it to Scott IMO.

Helenius had a broken hand and stood right in front of him. Scott is far more technically sound, more mobile and defensively responsible, hes faster and a **** ton better inside than Helenius who is nothing but a big rather basic HW with good power.

Helenius upright style plays right into Chisora's hands where he can bob & weave, land his big ass winging shots whilst Helenius does nothing but shell up and let Chisora work away inside.

Chisora can be in whatever shape he simply does not have the tools here to pull off a convincing victory.

He is a 1 trick pony with very poor power. Hes put in some respectable performances which have people believing he is half decent and his conditioning is the main problem. This is false, the reality of it is hes just not very good.

Hes exciting and a nutjob who offers value for money but he is not a good boxer.

Sure hes fought at a higher level than Scott but hes lost everytime, the guys best win is who? Sam Sexton? I'll take Scotts unofficial win over Glazkov over that and I think Glazkov is at least on par with Helenius myself.

Its the styles and Chisora struggles hugely against movers; Sam Sexton x2, Vitali, Haye etc
Hes going to eat jab after jab and get frustrated and do nothing but plough and throw hugely telegraphed shots. He is going to be totally out of his depth tomorrow. I'm expecting Scott to take 8 rounds minimum.

As far as memory goes, he broke it during the fight. That's no excuse to me. Stuff like that happens throughout many fights.

With regards to Scott, I def don't rate his inside game the same you do, in fact I think he tends to get too defensive and try to work long range as often as he can. Chisora is good at taken away his opponents jab by weaving in on the inside and getting the short uppercuts in.

Lets see what happens. I think he could pull it off. But I def won't be surprised if Scott won.

Del Boy is a poor man's Joe Frasier. He's a gonna bob 'n weave whilst pressing forward all night to try to get inside Scott. He's in great shape and, as another poster stated, he's got his back against the wall in this fight and desperately needs a win to get back into the mix. If Malik Scott does not commit to sitting down on his punches Chisora is gonna bull his way in and walk through his weak a$$ punches.

If Scott is too defensive minded and economic with his punches, then Chisora is gonna outwork him and will grind out the decision...
