Make you right Tom, but i still reckon he is the most level headed pundit about. Gruelling fight. Kind of bout that ages a fighter. Two very tough men.

David Price now to face Chisora this month after Parker pulled out. This one really excites me. I enjoy watching both of these two. Price’s frailties means you never know what is going happen. This is very much Price’s last, last chance at getting near the big time and would be deemed an upset if he could beat Del Boy. Off to get myself a ticket for this one now.

This could go either way depending which David Price turns up.

Think that price is afraid of getting clipped , but has a great punch. Expect Chisora to win, but a heavy punch either way will probably finish the fight.

Chisora is a gatekeeper to the top tier. Only top twenty fighters generally get past him. Del Boy already trying to turn this into a North v South fight. Got to love him, he basically promotes his own shows.

Price has been on the end of some heavy knockouts.. Povetkin in particular was a heavy knockout.. That affects a fighter and I believe changed Price.. As you say if you can’t get past Chisora then you will never get to that elite group... Unless Price catches him with a bomb which is always possible with heavyweights then I can’t see Chisora losing.
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Tonight sees the return of Oleksandr Usyk who is making his heavyweight debut against gentlemen’ Chazz Witherspoon. Fight shown live on SKY Sports in the early hours. Will be interesting to see how Usyk fairs at heavyweight, at 6.3 he is the same size as Ali and 4 or 5 inches taller than Mike Tyson however we now live in the era of the super heavyweight. Only Holyfield and Haye have gone from Cruiserweight champ to become heavyweight champ (although Roy Jones went from middle to heavyweight but bypassed cruiser in doing so). Think Usyk is very good. Had to YouTube Chazz who looks competent enough. Looks like an Usyk win.

Incredible technical display last night from Usyk against a game but limited opponent. Elusive fighter who fights like a welterweight. Incredible ring craft Manoeuvring his opponent where he wanted him, plenty of faints, jabs to the body and straight lefts. No other heavyweight around today can touch him for talent. Look forward to seeing him go in with the giants. May well be the next global boxing superstar.

I saw an interview with him where he said that his hardest fight in the heavyweight division would be Fury due to him being the only fighter that technically is anywhere near him... Still unsure about the size factor with him but he’s a welcome and interesting addition to the heavyweight division now!

My money is on Dillian being the first to front up to him as , well thats just the way Dillian rolls.

Think he would beat Ruiz quite easily. See how he does against the big boys, 15 stone 5 last night, that’s not big.
