WARMACHINE VS CHISORA!

[SAPFO]

You can say that again

[keithmoonhangover]

Boxing can be a cruel sport at times and this matchup is a good example of how it can suck from time to time.

Totally agree jon and unless larry is gettin great money for this i wouldnt take the fight, i see no way he can win it, chisora can bang and he can bang harder than mcdermott, hes tough and has a good chin and good skill level and will more than likely be in better shape that his last one ( he managed 12 then anyway) terrible fight but its a sink or swim one i guess. Warren is doing same to appelby this weekend but i think paul will upset the apple cart.

Larry wants the fight and he's got the guts to take it. Two big blokes get in the ring and anything can happen. Tommy Morrison - Michael Bentt anyone?

[Karl Jade]

Morrison had no chin. Chisora has never been down as a pro or am.

Mate, you might as well pack in now. If Morrison had 'no chin', then he'd go down every time he got hit.

[nobby_nobbins]

Surely we should be saying Dereck Chisra since he lost his O in his last fight?

[milpool]

This has the makings of an excellent domestic scrap.
We need to see what Chisora's got now. He's had the disappointment of the two cancellations against Klit, which I think was a blessing in disguise, as well as the loss to Fury. This is probably the best time to fight him and for that reason I give Larry a chance.
However I think it's only a small chance, but this match up is intriguing as it will answer a lot of questions about Del Boy's attitude. I look forward to it.

Have to say, it's brutal matchmaking by FW. A cynic would say that after that loss to John McD, Frank has decided that Larry hasn't got the right stuff, and is throwing him to his main man Chisora, to boost Del Boy's confidence with what's likely to be a sensational comeback KO.

Because if he fixes the nonchalant attitude, Del Boy has shown the chin, talent and punch that could take him to Euro level at least, and maybe a crack at the big time. Talent is thin on the ground and HW these days, and Frank sees Del Boy as his best bet.

[bripez]

I wish other fighters in the sport had Larry's gameness and will to succeed! It would be a better sport,

I think this is a good fight and credit to Larry for stepping up too..

To be fair, most / all pro boxers have the same "gameness and will to succeed" - as long as they are are given a fair crack of the whip and will be on a level playing field with their opponent.

I am not sure if Larry was given much choice in this bout ? - if he had declined, I am sure he would have found future opportunities for fights somewhat limited ....

Also, this is quite an interesting fight - in fact, just the kind of fight most people on this site usually argue for. It seems that people have now changed their opinions, could this be because Larry posts on this forum ?

[SAPFO]

Chisora v Price, Larry v Sexton would of been better on paper. Saying that, I do like this match-up.

[Finn]

Theres nothing wrong with wanting to mix it with the top domestic fighters. why aim low when you can aim high?

[Superheavy]

It will be clear to FW that (i) Chisora will go further than Larry and, therefore, (ii) he can make more money out of Chisora than Larry. This match up simply confirms this.

the same was said about the mitchell v murray match up.

What a ludicrous comment.

Yes and they thought that with Murray v Mitchell that Murray would win. Larry will win this fight. he's a better fighter now who boxed McD. Gona surprise a few you see....

This may be the worst example yet of the 'boxrec bounce'. He doesn't have a chance imo. Not even a punchers one. He seems like a very decent guy, very level headed and friendly if his posts are anything to go by but as Mighty Warrior said this is brutal matchmaking

Why does he not stand a chance? Larry's motivated and Del Boy probably won't be. Juan Carlos Gomez lost his last fight for that exact reason.

[Jon Saxon]

Morrison had no chin. Chisora has never been down as a pro or am.

Eh? he took bombs from Foreman.

[JDC]

Was not me it was my bro. It was in pontyfract he lost to a guy from the navy . he boxed in the abas the year after and lost to Tyson fury in the Semis .

Where abouts in Pontefract did they hold this?

Its my home town. I can only think the town hall or squash club. We not be renouned for boxing round here, but we've had a few decent pros lately.

My mate texted me last night, to say this fight was taking place in Pontefract, I got excited for a few moments as he seemed very, very certain of his facts. The fxxking knob. I've been wondering all day why it would possibly be staged in Ponty - my hometown - and can now see he was pissed as a fart when he skimmed through the thread.

We were meant to get Joe Frazier down the road in Castleford earlier this year, but the promoter staged a Ricky Hatton event a few weeks earlier, and the fans drank the civic centre dry of beer, it ended in a big fall out between the promoter and the council and I'm told he won't bring any such events back to council properties. So he staged it elsewhere and trebled the ticket prices, £20 for a slap up meal whilst listening to Joe Frazier is a bargain but the locals got robbed

Anyway, hello to fellow boxrecers from this part of the world, see you at Olubamwino vs Chisora at the squash club... I wish

A few of my mates went to the Hatton dinner. They said it was a good laugh. Didn't know about Frazier. These thing all fall though. Remember when Cafu was coming to play for Garforth?

What a ludicrous comment.

really karl - like harrison never trains for a fight?

Its well known mitchell wasnt happy with the fight terms, FW arranged the fight to give him one last shot expecting murray to beat him and also gave murray the lions share of the purse. If he had been bothered about keeping mitchell about he would have arranged him a different fight rather than only offering him a fight against the number 1 domestic fighter. The difference was that in the meantime murray took another fight and looked pants so the betting odds shrank.

Warrens doing the same here he's giving larry a shot but matching him up with someone he fully expects to win. Its a no loose situation for FW.

[Karl Jade]

I didn't said Harrison 'never trains for a fight'. I said he doesn't train to the standard of a professional boxer. He hasn't sparred for a year now but wants to make a 'comeback' in 2012, which is absolutely typical of the man, sadly.

You can't compare Chisora - Larry with Murray - Mitchell. One is an evenly matched fight, for starters, much as I respect Larry and would kinda like to see him win.

So there's never been a fight where the betting underdog wins?

Murray v mitchell when it was first proposed was supposed to be a one sided affair - it wasnt until Murray looked crap in his next fight people though he had been over rated and that mitchell may out think him. It was also after that fight that mitchell then decided to accept the fight.

[Karl Jade]

Larry isn't so much an 'underdog' as a virtual novice up against arguably Britain's most capable HW.
