[Other Sport] Usyk vs Chisora

[Butch Willykins]

Saturday night is Fight Night. Anyone tuning in?

I can't see anything other than a Usyk win. Be nice to see Del Boy land a few bombs tho.

Usyk on points for me.

 

[Hendrax]

Cant wait. Going to be a good fight. Usyk the superior boxer but del boy is looking great and the lightest he has been.

Wasn't impressed with Usyk's first heavyweight fight against witherspoon. 3 stone weight difference at the weigh in today.

I honestly think if Chisora can get past his slick movement and run him down he will get the knockout.

I'd love to see that. But I think Del Boy needs a crowd behind him. I wonder how he'll cope in the sterile 'behind closed door' environment.

 

[DJ NOBO]

I predict a similar fight to Fury v Chisora 2.
Usyk will be too slick for Del Boy.
But of course this is heavyweight boxing.....always the chance of a spark out.

 

[GT49er]

Back in the day, I'd have watched this with eager anticipation, along with a large proportion of people who would discuss the fight at work on Monday morning.
Now it's on Sky (or whatever other box office channel) - nah. Compared to what it was, boxing as a mass sport has lost it. I'm sure there's lots of money in it. Fine........on you go ..........

 

[Weststander]

Definitely.

Love boxing.

 

[StonehamPark]

Will be a slow start for calculated Usyk, Del will gas after 5 rounds after chasing, then he'll quickly get picked apart with a TKO between 8-10.

Looking forward to it.

David Haye was supremely confident of Chisoras chances yesterday and he reckons that the bookies have got it massively wrong in pricing up the fight.

Usyk expecting to come in and box Chisora into submission, but Del Boy will be working inside and tying Usyk up all night. With a 3 stone weight advantage he’s saying that Usyk will never have had to deal with such a challenge before and he’s not a massive puncher. Chisora can soak up the punches.

Before that interview I gave Chisora little chance and I saw him being boxed into submission, but now I’m not so sure!
Wasn’t planning to buy it but I will be now, Haye as promoter has done a good job on me

It definitely can’t be any worse than the £15 I shelled out for the WBA match can it?

It surprises me a little that anyone is even entertaining anything other than a Usyk win in this one. David Haye, himself having come up from the Cruiserweight division, comfortably dispatched a prime Chisora eight years ago.

I’ve seen David Haye fight a number of times in the flesh, and he was a very good fighter, no doubt about that. But was he technically as good as Oleksandr Usyk? I’m not sure he’s even close, personally.

I think this will be comfortable for Usyk. I just don’t see any other outcome, height and weight disadvantage or not.

Not paying £15 to Barry Hearn for a non title bout. Bob Arum thought it was obscene for Sky to be charging extra for this card during a pandemic. The stream I had for White v Putin was pretty good, so that's what I will try again.

I agree that it will likely be a Usyk win but I actually think Chisora is a better fighter now than he was when he fought David Haye. He certainly seems to be much disciplined in terms of training and has produced some decent performances in recent years.

The fight wouldn't be taking place if it wasn't on PPV as there wouldn't be enough money on the table and this is even more the case during the pandemic because they are not making any money from ticket sales.

Gotta be Usyk for me. Chisora can gas, 5th round stoppage

 

[Albion Dan]

I’d absolutely love it if Del wins but Usyk is a monstrous favourite. That being said I have had a cheeky bet on a Del Boy ko as the odds seem over indexed for someone carrying a 3 stone weight advantage.

Watched two minutes of Sky's documentary with Chisora the other night.

Not content with sticking two fingers up at anyone with his kind of multi-cultural background by giving Farage a platform in a deeply misguided effort to present himself as some kind of (inherently violent) intellectual, he now appears to believe putting on a pair of glasses and taking a film crew to the countryside will reinvent him as a deep thinker.

Even without the cynical duplicity, he's such a stupefyingly shoddy fighter to watch.

Usyk is a brilliant fighter so I expect him to batter him. He's a great character, too - I hope he continues to be great at heavyweight. Even though he's 1/8, I might lump on him, depending on my variable recklessness.

 

[big nuts]

Interesting fight. Chisora has been in a lot of tough fights but if he is somewhere near his best he can give Usyk problems but I expect Usyk to win on points.

 

[Hendrax]

I find it astonishing that I pay £20.95 for a HD night of boxing and they put adverts after every round instead of analysis or hearing the corner team.

Pretty dire so far from the women. This cruiserweight fight now is hotting up though.

 

[Napper]

more interested in the davis v santa cruz fight tbh



Usyk will show del boy the levels in that one

 

[Lenny Rider]

Giving it a swerve, in no way sexist but I’m not a big fan of women’s boxing, I just don’t enjoy it, and of the 7 fight card 4 of the bouts are female.
Due to the pandemic they clearly have to go PPV just to cover costs, but not for me this time.
