The Final Dance – Heavyweights Derek Chisora and Otto Wallin conflict this Saturday
Fan-favourite Derek Chisora and difficult Swede Otto Wallin will conflict on the Co-op Stay in Manchester on Saturday, February 8, dwell on TNT Sports activities within the UK and Eire.
Delboy is aiming to shut the curtain on his profession after combat 50, so this 10-round heavyweight contest towards Wallin would be the penultimate bout of his 18-year-long professional profession.
The 40-year-old two-time world title contender is aiming to bow out on a excessive, so he can be giving it his all towards a person who gave Tyson Fury a tricky time of their 2019 Les Vegas headliner.
BBN requested their panel of consultants who they suppose wins and why.
Erol Ceylan, German promoter: “I Assume Otto Wallin will win the combat by factors.
“This isn’t a type of opponent who can deal with Wallin. Chisora isn’t as quick like earlier than when he was younger.”
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “Wallin is a good, all-round boxer, most recognized for giving Tyson Fury a torrid time of their 2019 combat, slicing him with a punch that later required 47 stitches. In opposition to AJ, nonetheless, he was very detrimental and nervous, barely taking a step ahead, ready far too lengthy to throw and letting a number of assaults go unanswered till he retired after a few large photographs within the fifth spherical. He was fairly poor in that combat, if I’m being completely sincere. AJ bullied him, broke him down and beat him up. However he didn’t present any of the aggression and enthusiasm he displayed towards Fury the place he would leap throughout the ring to throw large hooks and overhands. I assumed it was a weird efficiency from him as a result of he didn’t look comfy or bold in any respect, nearly simply attempting to get by the rounds.
“He’s taller and rangier and will preserve any opponent at bay along with his busy, pawing jab, however that is ‘WAR’ Chisora we’re speaking about. If he needs to commerce toe-to-toe with you, you do what he says. I believe Chisora will be capable of get in shut simply sufficient to bully and beat up Wallin to earn a factors choice.”
Burim Sylejmani, Fides Sports activities Promotion: “Otto Wallin will win this combat.
“Chisora is just too sluggish and now not has the identical stage as earlier than.”
Harrison Baskind, BBN Author: “Each British combat fan is hoping Chisora can produce one other victory, marking an ideal finish to his profession within the UK.
“I believe Derek has a tricky job forward of him, Wallin is 7 years youthful than him to begin with. It would most probably be a slug fest, just like the Brits final combat towards Joe Joyce.
“Wallin would be the favorite however you’ll be able to’t rule out Chisora, not one actually gave him a lot of an opportunity towards Joyce.”
