Dereck Chisora now faces Kevin"Punchbag" Johnson

[ross]

Just watched an interview with Chisora and he's really not keen on Johnson as an opponent. Saying he's tricky and the crowd will boo.

I doubt this next bit very much BUT IF Johnson has kept in shape, been training since his last fight, this has the potential to be a banana skin for the the whole Fury v Chisora rematch. Chisora had had some shaky moments in his last couple of fights against much lesser skilled men.

Its 3 weeks away. If Johnson hasn't been in training, its going to be terrible because he will spoil and back peddle more than usual to last the distance. Don Charles has said that Chisora will force the issue to try and make it exciting.

Frank Warren is a god of a promoter if you are one of his fighters.

I agree. Look what he did for Ricky Hatton.. he marketed a tough journeyman level fighter into a superstar!

Hatton promptly left as did Khan and Naz and look what happened to them.

Chisoras people have short changed into a role reversal here. Betting the promoter could give a shate less who wins

Johnson takes this

If Johnson is fit I agree. He leap frogs in to the rankings on a relatively big stage.

I like Chisora. He's fun and has a good attitude for boxing.

He as kept himself busy and got some good results last year but he hasnt looked great doing it and against who?

Malik Scott is as good as anyone Fury has fought thus far. Being fair to Chisora, Avila & Scott & Pala were not the original opponent he was training for. He's done well for himself in the last year so I credit him for making himself relevent again. All this makes him a decent opponent for Fury at this stage.

I understand the idea is to showcase both of them before the rematch, but the choices of opponent are terrible. Fury will beat Basile with ease. He's a Hughie Fury level of opponent, but Tyson should be fighting someone better. Chisora is not going to look good fighting Johnson. It's a terrible main event and a terrible show.
