Good luck to him, I hope he makes it at least interesting and learns how to throw a straight shot by the time the fight comes round! (My biggest frustration with him)

haha I love how the guy filming is just like "stfu Warren" as he starts plugging BoxNation and fades the video out..
Del boy brings it all and will not be found lacking in heart or pressure but like you so rightly point out he does not throw a great straight shot and seems to struggle in translating his power into a meaningful power shot. It's as if he is willing to eschew accuracy and proper leverage for volume and pressure. He used his technique well to bully and overwhelm Helenius but his lack of a KO punch cost him dear in seizing a chance to erase any need for what were at best extremely myopic judges.

Vitali's chin is good and his KO percentage is frightening, if a little inflated by mediocre opponents, so points or cuts may be the only way for Chisora to cause an upset. I can't wait and hope he can surprise us all and tie up King Kong before gunning him down with a barrage of genuine chopping blows, but I fear the Dr may just have a simple vaccine for the black plague in utilising the one punch that Del boy does not possess. A decent overhand right and it's good night Del boy.

I want to believe otherwise though so here's to the underdogs whose victories were unforseen and to an unpredictable nutter surprising everyone with a barrage of chopping left hands and a tamed iron fisted giant stopped by cuts.
