Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Derek Chisora In Line For Oct. 31, Says Hearn

Povetkin isn't a puncher? Ummm yes he has been known a puncher for quite some time.

He's saying, Usyk isn't the puncher, like Povetkin. I think.

Usyk had too much energy for Witherspoon, Chaz parachute popped out round 5. Chisora is a step up, but he gets tired too. I don't think this stratagy is going to work with the upper class. The only guy I ever saw Usyk KO, lights out, was that guy in London, a cruiser. AJ would catch him, he can dance just as good, and Fury would Kronk him. Fury is just too big, he has nothing to keep Fury off of him.

This is why I don't count Whyte out just yet if there is still big fights for Dereck Chisora when he has almost double digit losses there will still be fights for Dillian Whyte neither will ever be world champion after they are done losing to all the best at HW they can always fight each other in a trilogy it should be 1-1 I mean Chisora got knocked out like Whyte just did and Whyte is getting an immediate rematch so anything is possible.

It's a combination and reflection of the depth of talent in the division and the fact that Chisora likes to fight and get paid that ensures he still gets action against top level opponents. A highly motivated Chisora is still a handful for most heavies.

Whyte is similar inasmuch as he'll take risky fights so long as he gets paid. Inactivity just doesn't work for him. Both take their losses as an occupational hazard and move on quickly. To be fair he has vastly improved by taking these fights, but it's a risky strategy and it stretched his neck last Saturday.

The amount of money he's made considering his amateur record and initial skillset is a testament to his willingness to mix it. Like Chisora his style will also be welcomed by the likes of well-schooled, technically superior fighters and promoters love that because it sells.

Chisora is top 20 guy, so we will find out if Usyk belongs to division or not.

Its a good fight but ****ing hell Usyks HW career is moving infuriatingly slowly.

Would love to see Povetkin vs Chisora, proper hook fest of nothing else.

I love Del Boy but Usyk is going to give him a boxing lesson.

He should. Chisora is a gatekeeper who is not even in his prime. If Usyk belongs in top 10, he should outbox Chisora or stop him.

Chisora has never looked better imo, however styles make fights and he's always looked average against southpaws & boxers who can use their foot.

I don't see him landing a clean punch on Usyk all night.

I don't know about that he looked good against the Polish walking corpse Spzilka but he was getting his ass kicked by Carlos Takam before landing that punch I'm not talking getting out boxed and then landing a hail mary I'm talking getting pasted for rounds before finding that punch if the ref would've stopped that fight I don't think anyone would have complained because Takam couldn't miss. He knocked out Price but at this point I think 3/4ths of the top 20 have already as well.
