Derek Chisora v Deontay Wilder

[Master]

Derek Chisora is rumoured to face Deontay Wilder.

This would be a surprise as the Usyk v Wilder fight is being worked on.

The contest would be a close fight since Wilder has looked awful and Chisora has been successful recently.

I think this would be entertaining.

Rather see this than him face Usyk

[Master]

The rumour is that Usyk may face Andy Ruiz now.

Loser gets an annual supply of liquid meals and winner gets overpaid to lose another big fight next out.

Ruiz v Usyk possibility if just so out of left field. Makes me thing back to when we were so close to Ruiz-Wilder but Wilder basically talked himself out of it. Feels like they're just interested in a US friendly name for Usyk to piggy back off of.

call me crazy but i think derek wins

I agree, it’s a very winnable fight for Chisora.

Derek is rough and tough, and he has always been a bit technically limited, so that isn’t anything new. There are a few ways he can win this bout.

I don’t think there is much left of Deontay Wilder. If he doesn’t land a Hail Mary bazooka I can’t see a way he wins ….. so the odds are not on his side really.

[Master]

It is a sky ppv event which is absurd. Chisora is certainly raking in the money in his last few fights and will continue to milk his “last fight” theme until he loses.

Is that confirmed ?? can’t see how this sells on PPV at all

Yeah I can't imagine pay-per-view on that one either. But as for Deontay Wilder, his strategy worked really well in the third fight with Tyson for about four rounds. He was able to jab really hard to the body with the left and with the power that he has he should not have abandoned that strategy he should have kept smacking that left jab straight to Tyson's body and I believe if he keeps that strategy using his reach and his speed that he could just win fights Now using his left jab the way Larry Holmes used to win fights in his second career just basically using the left Jab and an occasional hard unexpected overhand right which would knock out the opponent easily given his power

Deonte Wilder had the potential to be better than he was and I feel he just got the wrong advice from his trainers. The guy like that can sit back and conserve his energy for 8 or 10 rounds and still get the spectacular knockout with one punch if he just conserves his energy and tries to win rounds just using the Jab like Tommy Hearns used to do and then when the opponent gets lulled into that rhythm, suddenly like a snake Wilder could simply smoke the opponent with a torpedo right hand. Why he always burned himself out by the fifth or the sixth round I have no idea but it seems like bad advice from his managers. I think he can have a decent run of four or five more fights given his athleticism even though he's up in age now if he just sticks to the plan to conserve his energy and punish the opponent with 20 good jabs per round to the body and head and then Spark him out in the 8th or 9th round
