Comments Thread For: Whyte is Backing Derek Chisora To Shock Oleksandr Usyk

[Mammoth]

Chisora is a tough cookie but he has had problems in the past with guys who can box & move. Agit Kabayel is a perfect example. Chisora is a bull & he doesn't ever get pushed around in his fights. He is aggressive & always on the hunt. He will want to keep Usyk on the ropes so he can overpower him & throw those big overhand rights. I don't really judge Usyk on his performance against Witherspoon as it was his first fight at HW & he was preparing for Carlos Takam. I don't think Usyk will be knocking out too many HWs but he can certainly go 12 rounds & outbox them. If he is on his game he could cruise to a very easy UD over Chisora. Chris Byrd beat some good HWs who had substantial weight advantages by outboxing them & not get hit cleanly. Usyk is more skilled than Byrd. This guy cleaned out the CW division so he has no reason not to move up & test his skills with the big boys. There is serious money to make in the HW division. I hope this fight happens & if Usyk can't beat Chisora than he might be in for a tough go at HW.

I just want Usyk to get some rounds in at the weight to get adjusted and Chisora is game. Usyk's last fight didn't exactly get me excited about a Joshua fight tbh....

As bad as I hate to say it with the way Usyk handled Witherspoon Chirosa may can pull off the upset. Whyte may be on to something as bad as I hate agreeing with him.

To be fair, Usyk had been out of the ring a year and coming off a big shoulder injury.

I think he’ll be much better than that fight.

Chisora is tough but if you have a good jab and can box a bit, he’s very beatable.

Chisora doesn’t bring anything except pressure. Usyk is too smart and skilled to just get pressured so easily. You need more than that to beat very good fighters, which is why Del Boy has 9 losses.

if usyk gets hit clean he will be in trouble

Fair enough but as someone pointed out he had a shoulder injury & had been inactive. He had 2 camps for Takam only to have to find a replacement a few days before his big fight at HW. Witherspoon might have been a big letdown & his performance may have suffered a bit. Chisora would be a very suitable opponent for his first real test considering he KO'd Takam. I hope the fight gets made.

This. Should be a fun fight though.

I guess? I rarely see Chisora fight, and when I do see highlights, he's losing.

Tyson Fury beat Chisora and was not even in shape twice

[Fangedgrowl]

i think this fight will be simliar to The Haye fight for Chisora, but i think it will go more rounds. Usyk doesnt have Hayes power but i think Chisora is slowing a bit and will get hit cleanly.

[The Big Dunn]

I expect Usyk to dominate chisora should they fight.

Chisora is a gatekeeper/ garbageman while Usyk is a top p4p fighter in the world.

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

Usyk will try to pull a Pulev and run like a rat from the gatekeeper.
