Not sure we will see much of the sweet science in this fight. My memory of Ustinov was receiving a beating from Pulev and looking pretty clueless on how to deal with the quicker, smaller man who was able to outjab him. Fury pulled out against Ustinov last minute and you would have thought hed want this fight as prep for Klitschko because Fury doesn’t seem to want to get in the ring with guys close to his size. You have to go back to Nicloai Firtha since Fury fought someone big but that’s another story. . . I think Ustinov wouldnve made it interesting against Fury just because of his size. He will tower over Chisora but he did against Pulev too & that didn’t help.


Question is what does Derek have left because even in his prime he always lost the fights that mattered, beating Ustinov if he can manage it would be considered one of his best wins but he has to turn back the clock as the evidence of his last fight suggests he’s reached journeyman mode and used a s a punch bag for the bigger names. Instead lets hope we see a revitalised Derek Chisora who’s moving that head whilst weaving in Joe Frazier style launching the left hook. Work the body and keep the pace too hot for old Ustinov. Instead if it’s a lumbering hugging affair which I fear it could then Derek runs the risk of getting worn down and losing a decision himself. They are at pretty similar levels now unfortunately for Derek so if Ustinov arrives with some ambition, uses his weight in the clinches, leans on and throws his shots as Derek comes in, then I see it being a long night.
