Comments Thread For: Pulev Drops EBU Belt, Chisora vs. Boytsov Now in Play?

They're the same height, Chisora is heavier but i wouldn't be suprised if Boytsov was as strong if not stronger but most importany Boytsov has very good power. Chisora only knows how to fight moving forward and pressuring but doing it against Denis is extremely dangerous. Boytsov by KO is the most likely outcome.

Overrated power... Who exactly has he used his 213lbs power against? Guinn is the only guy i can think of... He has not been tested... Chisora is a fringe contender & we don't even know is boytsov can take a punch... He's 213 & untested...

I like boystov but his years of inactivity and weak opposition is gonna cause him to fold against chisora

Lulz You're one of these people who think bigger automatically means better saying 213lbs like it proves something. He has been in the 225lb range but he's slower and probably doesn't hit quite as hard when he's heavier. He was 226 in his last fight but i hope he comes in 10lbs lighter.

As for his power Gavern had never been down and Denis battered him all over the ring dropping him 7x and stopped him. He stopped Wilson with one punch and he knock out *****ko who had an excellent chin, only other guy to do that was Vyrchys in the last 30 seconds of the 12th after a war and Vitali says Vyrchys has monsterous power. He is untested but his power is real and Chisora's 240 + lbs with mediocre power isn't the issue in this fight.

Chisora is a huge test with a great chin and relentless pressure and thats what makes it such a exciting fight but it is a bad style matchup for Derek fairly similar to the Haye fight (also a sub 215lb but that didn't matter did it) with Boytsov being a very sharp counter puncher with serious power. Swarmer vs slugger the big hitter is generally the smart bet and its true in this case.

Chisora is a big step above gavern & *****ko. I don't think bigger is better... Just better then boytsov. Gavern doesn't have the best chin. I want to see boytsov get hit. I just have 't seen enough to get excited. 33 fights & his best wins is guinn, gavern & maddalone. He gets a mulligan because of his injuries & poor promotion. He is only 27 so there is time. Can he go 12 against a legit contender or gatekeeper? Can he take a punch? How does he respond with adversity? Can he get off the floor or adjust when cut? Too early to say that in my opinion... Chisora would be his first call up to the big leagues... How will he handle it? He isn't david haye nor does he punch like him...
