Comments Thread For: Dereck Chisora To Face Edmund Gerber For EBU Belt

[PittyPat]

I'm shocked that Gerber appears to be a real German, rather than all these Armenians and Bosnians masquerading as "Germans" just because they happen to have been granted citizenship.

I don't think this is the best fight for Chisora at this point in his career, but regardless of that I'm surprised they picked such a poor opponent for the main event fight on the opening night of a new venue.

Every fighter needs to build experience.

Chisora was talented enough to be British and Commonwealth champion after just 14 fights and competitive with the best in the world after 18 fights.

He wasn't even in great condition for half of them.

Absolutely

I see great things for derrick. he is young as a pup and has plenty of time to learn a few things. he has already been in and given a good account of himself agaist the best. Hes very good just needs to get slicker, smaarter and more experience....Meanwhile? I don't care how many fights he loses, as even his loses have been close competative fights usually.

yea,,I dont like the guy personally but he does deserve credit for the comp hes fought in just a handful of fights. I have more respect for him and his losses over guys like boytsov and wilder who just pad there undefeated records without taking risks. chisora is all man in the ring. Ill give him that

Shouldn't this be Chisora-Sprott?
