Dereck Chisora vs. Alexander Povetkin

[Hayehammer]

He'll fight in Moscow in May.

He just signed with a Russian promoter, he's no longer with Sauerland.

Thx didnt knew that. If that fight happens i can see the vacant wba title on the line. chisora isnt ranked high there but at least he wouldnt be an undeserving challenger.

[Hayehammer]

I've been tough on Del,but tonight he was superb.he made a fan of me tonight.his inside game and staying in his opponents pocket really keeps him out of trouble.I know Sascha hits like a cannon with his hooks on the inside,and his sharp counters could make this a real ugly inside fight.

It'll be competitive and I'd expect both on the canvass,depends on Sacha's conditioning really.in shape id expect him to win.then again out of shape I'd expect him to make the fight a turgid affair and irk out the win still !

I can't see either stopping the other.one thing I noticed about Chisora is the amount of rabbit punches he shouid have been penalised for,they wouldn't cut outside of the UK,which really has become a wretched place for officiating.

I reckon a points win for Chisora if it was in the UK.Johnson kinda gave up tonight,Povetkin would likely do the same if the referee let so much slip.

The work rate and conditioning of Chisora really caught my eye tonight though.i was impressed.on that form I think he'd stop Fury.

Well chisora took what was there. johnson always is turning his body and head and is hard to catch. And while he was complaining about this to the ref chisora outworked him

Ortiz and Jennings may be ordered for the WBA vacant belt.Wilder to face WBC titlist winner.i expect we may see Povetkin vs Boytsov after both have had rebuilding fights.in Russia that would be huge.

No way Frank Warren will let him go to Moscow to fight Povetkin before the money-spinner with Fury. It'd be a ****** business decision, unless they're paid the Crown ***els.

Yeh sure.his work rate was superb.but so many overhand rights were skewing the back of his head,he'd never get away without penalties in Russia.did you see Povetkin against Huck when Sascha was gassing,stooping below the waist.Chisora wouldn't be able to hit him clean all night.

Johnson is a tricky and wily opponent who you'll struggle to look good against,tonight Del looked superb IMO.he has that desire and belief.he never allowed himself to get frustrated.that said the refereeing bias is there for all to see,even in the Fury fight tonight.

I thought he said in the post-fight interview he's in negotiations with Povetkin and will know next week?

Heard this too

Chisora said in his post fight interview he wants to fight pervertkin.

His name is even spelt in the thread title, you lazy ****. **** your mother.

.that said the refereeing bias is there for all to see,even in the Fury fight tonight.

I'm a big critic of Terry O'Connor, but he warned Chisel at least as many times tonight.

I think people are getting influenced by Povetkin's last fight and Chisora's winning streak without paying attention to who they're fighting. Povetkin would run over the same guys Chisora's been going through at his absolute worst and Chisora would get hugmugged by Wlad and probably stopped. I don't believe they're in the same league. I like them both so if Del proves me wrong it's not hurting my feelings at all.

I think the best Chisora would have a real challenge with Huck too and that was the worst Povetkin. It's true Chisora's polishing his skills up and in better shape but I don't buy that he's jumped up a league where Povetkin is. Same versions of Haye and Vitali probably still give him the business if either could even show up as good again which I'm skeptical of.
