Dereck Chisora now faces Kevin"Punchbag" Johnson

[bzkfn]

Chisora isnt that good. Who has said he was. Hes decent but nothing special at all, just like Fury. Both are good European title level fighters and fringe world contenders, neither are close to world class.

The problem is that apart from Wladimir, not one Heavyweight fighter out there is considered to be "World Class". At some point, these "decent" fighters are going to be considered world class because they're in a shitty era.

Chisora is good. He's entertaining and he always comes to fight. I have alot of respect for guys like that who just want to make a fight. Right now he's on the fringes and I have no problem with him and Fury fighting each other and at some point these "decent" fighters have got to start elimanating each other so we can work out who has the potential to graduate to "World Class". It is time for Fury, Chisora, Wilder, Pulev, Jennings and co to stop with the tomato cans and fight each other.

My hope is another world class heavyweight comes along (Joshua potentially) and clears up just as Wlad retires so I will never have to resort to considering the likes of Chisora or Fury World class

I think if Deontay Wilder does a demolition job on Malik Scott people will be forced to take him seriously. His record of knockouts is impressive but he needed a step up. Malik is another of these "decent" fighters in the division and an impressive win will propel Wilder as a serious contender. Bryant Jennings is another one with serious potential. I think we need an American to prove to be World Class so that the Heavyweight division returns to HBO/Showtime in the Main Event. We also need more than one guy on the scene to make it interesting.

Chisora could be in big trouble.

If Johnson is fit he will be able to use the skill he has without chasing Chisora and Don Charles has already said they are concerened about the crowd booing because of Johnsons style and that Chisora will make the fight. Johnson will love this. If European level journeymen can hurt Chisora Johnson will too.

Is Johnson fit?

He could well be. He fought a 10 rounder on the 20th of December and went straight in to another training camp to spar with Artur szpilka so he has stayed training and sharp. He has had 3 weeks notice so a couple of weeks to turn it back up.

Warren will regret this.

Hes 4/1 with a few bookies. Might be worth a dabble?

Kevin Johnson is a slick boxer, good jab, rarely anything behind it, solid defense, good chin, good reach. Dereck Chisora is a pressure fighter, not the greatest power, he's getting on in years for a pressure fighter, he's squat/short/stocky and in being such his reach isn't that great, his chin is decent enough, but my MAIN question is "Will he be busy enough?" usually that's a question saved for Kevin Johnson, but in this case it's Chisora who needs to come to this fight with something to prove.


This could turn on Chisora and his handlers in a very quick and very ugly way...if Johnson starts the fight off winning rounds regardless of if he gets the nod from the judges it'll put Dereck in a tough spot.

I think Johnson wins the fight, but Chisora may get a SD from the judges

What odds would you give on a Johnson stoppage win?
