Today from Wembley Arena in London, Dereck Chisora defends his British and Commonwealth titles against Tyson Fury in a heavyweight fight between prospects bordering on contender status, where we're likely to learn something new about both fighters.
Chisora (14-0, 9 KO) and Fury (14-0, 10 KO) weighed in yesterday with different results. Chisora was nearly 20 pounds over his recent weights, while Fury dropped down to just over 255 pounds, six less than Chisora, who is eight inches shorter than him. Fury may still be developing as a fighter, having shown improvement consistently, but Chisora is definitely the toughest test of his young career. Fury may be the same for Chisora, whose best win is probably over Sam Sexton last September, his last bout.
One has to wonder if Chisora being "out of shape" is due to that layoff, which has come thanks to a pair of blown dates against Wladimir Klitschko, who pulled out of fights in December (with an injury) and April (with an alleged injury that saw him then sign a more lucrative fight with David Haye). Whatever the case, he could have his hands full today with big, young Fury.
The co-feature on the card has Ashley Theophane (29-4-1, 7 KO) defending the British junior welterweight title against Welsh veteran Jason Cook (28-3-1, 14 KO) in what could be a fine fight.
The Integrated Sports PPV ($29.99) broadcast goes live at 3 p.m. EDT in the United States, while Channel 5's coverage in the UK starts at 5 p.m. EDT (10 p.m. local). Bad Left Hook will be here.

Me!...Hello BoxAnne :)
I’m not sure if you have mentioned this before, Scott, but Al Bernstein has been flown over to do the commentary for Channel 5 tonight.
Nice to know we’ve got some quality analysis to look forward to on terrestrial UK tv.
I knew he was calling it for Integrated, but didn’t know he was doing it for Channel 5 too.

Also shows weigh in pics of Chisora at his career heaviest (i think). He looks in pretty good nick still though, imo. Looks like he’s going for the KO.
Is this supposed to be a good fight?
I’ll be watching regardless but I’m curious what my expectations should be going in.

Eh. They’re a couple of the more interesting heavyweight prospects, but it’s heavyweight boxing. If you like heavyweight boxing, it might be alright. If you don’t, probably won’t be anything special.

I think they’ll both fight hard. Two of the best heavies in the UK and both undefeated at 14-0.
There could be a KO but Fury has shown a good chin so far and heart and Chisora can likely outbox him at times.
I’ve gone for Chisora on points in the Pick em game but considering how badly i’m doing this season the winner will probably be Fury by KO!
Yes, i think it will be a good, entertaining fight with a lot of pride on the line, but at a lower level than world class in terms of skill. They are both still learning, especially the 23 year old Fury, and any talk of the winner fighting Wlad is just ridiculous, imo.
Even in this poor heavyweight era, there are more proven challengers out there than these two at the present time.
Sounds good to me.

260 for Chisora
may be good for a guy like Fury,but would be UNACCEPTABLE for a Klitschko,we all know this.
Is there an acceptable weight for Chisora?
Against a Klitschko, the only factor that gives Chistora a chance in my book is time.
I’m hearing Theophane has started to outclass him.

first Cook was ahead, but Theophane has taken over, may pull off a KO, working on it hard. Theo lost a point earlier for low blows. Theo ahead now.

He’ll probably not get any fights with any of the good fighters at 140 because he’s nobody and he’s a pain in the ass to fight, so I expect more domestic/Euro level for him.

When in the UK, I’ve seen more than a few Brits choosing bottled Bud over superior alternatives, which is to say, anything else. Oh, the power of marketing.
I love Bud in a bottle. It’s my favourite bottled beer. Nothing to do with marketting though, i just like the taste. Not so much when from the pump however.
It’s just like American’s drinking Heineken or Carlsberg.

Chisora vs Fury Round 1
Chisora trying to work his way in, but Fury lands a left hook. He’s definitely looking for that punch, with Chisora crouched very low and trying to work inside. Chisora is open for the shot, too. Fury jabbing. Chisora jabbing to the body a little. Fury misses a right. Fury has a nice, rather controlling opening right, landing some solid shots and keeping Chisora from getting going. Fury looks very confident after the round.

Fury vs Chisora Round 2
Chisora coming out throwing punches, but Fury pops him with a right. Chisora with a chopping right when they tangle. Fury with another good right, but Chisora takes it and keeps coming forward. If Chisora isn’t going to have his own stamina issues, Fury could be in trouble later. Big shot by Chisora and Fury is rocking all over the ring! Fury firing back, but Chisora just flinging big shots! Finally Fury ties him up and gets a moment. Big moment for Chisora, turned it around. But Fury fires back now with good shots!
So far we’ve seen Chisora take Fury’s punches better than Fury takes Chisora’s punches. This is turning into quite a good brawl. BIG RIGHT BY CHISORA AND FURY IS HURT AGAIN! Left hook, and a right hand! Fury can’t fight going backwards and Chisora is making him do just that. Another right by Chisora. That one didn’t have as much on it.
Chisora 10-9

Chisora vs Fury Round 3
Both land shots. Fury is just not taking the punches as well as Chisora is. Chisora just WILDLY throwing huge bombs in there. Fury chopping away at him but seems a bit desperate at moments. Trying to establish his jab, looking for that long uppercut. Chisora looking a little gassy. Fury boxing his way through this round, Chisora pressuring without the big punches landing. Fury might just be trying to make him wear himself out as much as anything else.
HEY! I LIKE THIS HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT! JUST THOUGHT I’D MENTION THAT!
Chisora bleeding from the mouth, and wildly missing that right hand. He’s getting into reserve tanks already. Fury kind of dominant this round, but Chisora lands a right hand twoard the end.

Chisora vs Fury Round 4
Both a bit slowed down this round. Chisora lands a long right, but there’s not as much on that shot anymore. Fury working his way around the ring, and now Chisora hammering away at him again. I don’t know that Fury is being hurt anymore, or was hurt as bad as it seemed earlier. He has an awkwardness in his movement that makes him look more wobbled than he might be, I think. Fury switches southpaw. Fury with a good right when he switches back, then a body shot. Toughest round to score.

Chisora seems to get inside for the very purpose of holding to get himself a break. This is definitely a 261 pound fighter at work.
Chisora vs Fury Round 5
Fury starts the round southpaw and peppers with his right hand jab. Chisora not landing in the first minute, and Fury just looking like the smarter fighter at the moment. Body shot by Fury. Fury very happy to tie up when Chisora gets too close, but then fights his way out with right hands down the pipe. Right hands by Fury, and he’s putting shots together in combination now. Chisora with a desperate right, then sort of stumbles into Fury’s chest and hugs up. I think Fury’s uppercut could wind up being the big weapon from here on out. Great combo by Fury rocks Chisora a little bit. Good right by Fury, and he really took it to Chisora this round.

I think it was the third Ali/Frazier fight
where Ali stuck his left in Frazier’s face and Frazier brushed it away. Ali did it again and Frazier brushed it away again and smiled. Ali did it a third time and when Frazier brushed it away he got smashed in the face with a cross. Stuck in my mind.

Chisora is really starting to gas out bad here. He doesn’t look like he has enough to beat Fury at this point. Fury just controlling him and letting Chisora stand on the ropes. Chisora tries to come off the ropes with big offense, but Fury has Chisora’s two offensive moves (left hook! or wild right hand!) scouted at this point. Fury totally dictating the round. Not doing anything flashy, but working nicely.

Chisora vs Fury Round 10
Fury fully in control of this fight. Chisora has a comeback and Fury was caught napping a bit there. Chisora just WINGING AWAY! “Brilliant stuff” is probably taking it too far considering not a lot is landing, and they wind up hugging, bent over the ropes. In a precarious position. Chisora just throwing everything he’s got. Now Fury controls him in the corner again with a series of potshots that are probably doing every bit as much damage as Chisora did in that two-armed whirlwind attack.

Chisora vs Fury Round 11
Once again Chisora does his “hey man that doesn’t hurt” bit in the corner. Fury in control again now. Chisora looks absolutely out of energy. Fury with an uppercut. More leaning.
Fury 10-9
Fury 107-102
These two sure are slapping hands a lot after every round.

It’s like Pac-Man/Mosley in there.

Chisora vs Fury Round 12
Chisora needs a bit of a miracle at this point. Fury with a right to the body. Fury closing this fight very well. Chisora throwing with 20 seconds left, but I think Fury is taking this round and the fight.

Welp, that was basically a more exciting version of the standard Klitschko fight.

I don’t know. I’m not sure Adamek is going to last long.

Adamek was fearful of Michael Grant’s power. That fight is not going to be exciting.

Pretty fun fight. Not a beauty, but rare that it went into a serious lull.

A pretty darn good little HW fight tonight. See you all soon for Khan vs. Judah.

Hopefully
we get the Fury v David Price rematch from the amateurs next, if Price comes through against McDermott.
I stilll think Price has more ability, certtainly technically. Fury still looks clumsy and has poor technique, imo, but he is tough and has a good range of punches.
I also think Price has better one punch power too, however his chin is the big ?
i’d like to see Price vs Chisora first, actually. Test Price first.

And if he gets by that?
I’d match him with some of the better Euro-level fighters. Your Albert Sosnowskis, Alexander Ustinovs, Denis Boytsovs.

better Euro-level fighters
Albert Sosnowski is no longer one of those and Alexander Ustinov sucks. Boytsov has bigger things he’s waiting for, I think.

Fair enough
I was mostly going by “Hmm, who’s ranked in the top 30 on boxrec’s rankings?”
Who would you suggest, then?

Honestly I might look to match him straight with Dimitrenko if he were to beat David Price, then take him toward a world title if he gets by that. He’s ambitious and has moved pretty quickly so far.

I wouldn’t mind seeing him fight Tony Thompson if he wants a ‘top 10 fighter who isn’t a Klitschko’ fight, but nobody’s exactly lining up to fight a 6’5 lefty with a bit of pop.

BTW this fight did great traffic. This and DeGale vs Groves were both big Saturday afternoon hits and have proven how dedicated and large the UK fanbase is. These fights have beaten the pants off of things like Devon Alexander or the Super Six, for instance.

Fury would have trouble in there with a power puncher…..like Arreola….as he himself does not have the power to keep a power puncher off him.

I’m no trainer, but he doesn’t do them right. he needs remedial work, and somehow get stronger. But he doesn’t get enough back into them.

Yeah, i think he’s got power, mainly through his long arms and leverage but it is his poor technique that diminishes his power a bit.
Being trained by his Uncle Hughie can only take him so far, imo.
He should try and get with Manny Steward permanently, imo.
