Oleksandr Usyk vs. Derek Chisora - October 31, 2020

[Enlightened-One]

Usyk moaned about a low blow that was a legit body blow.

Is that his Achilles heel?

10-9 Chisora. Sky believe otherwise.

[Enlightened-One]

Chisora looks like he’s already gassing in the second.

20-20.

Usyk won the second.

[TempleSlave]

1:1

[JCS]

20-20.

Usyk won the second.

Interesting scoring :)

[Paci]

Chisora looks like he’s already gassing in the second.

20-20.

Usyk won the second.

If he is gasing then he is screwed that is for sure. Still attacking here in the 3rd.

[TempleSlave]

Chisora looks like he’s already gassing in the second.

20-20.

Usyk won the second.

You mean 19-19?

[Enlightened-One]

The third was a difficult round to score.

Usyk showing a lot of skill and volume, but no power in his shots.

Chisora looking clumsy, but far more powerful and throwing decent shots to the body.

Usyk wins the third for me, but could go any way.

29-28 Usyk.

[TempleSlave]

Usyk makes Chisora looks like elephant but fight is entertaining.
2:1 Usyk

[Enlightened-One]

Chisora looks like he’s already gassing in the second.

20-20.

Usyk won the second.

You mean 19-19?

Yes. Equal either way.

[Enlightened-One]

Chisora breathing heavily and not working hard enough when he finally gets in range.

Usyk is elusive, but he’s stylistically too negative for me, even if he’s beating Chisora.

39-37 Usyk.

[TempleSlave]

Usyk’s footwork is top class but gets hit too often by plodding Chisora. A lot will depend on Usyk’s chin.
3:1 Usyk

[TempleSlave]

Chisora breathing heavily and not working hard enough when he finally gets in range.

Usyk is elusive, but he’s stylistically too negative for me, even if he’s beating Chisora.

39-37 Usyk.

He knows he needs to stay cautious. I like these combos though.

[Enlightened-One]

49-46 Usyk

Usyk’s work-rate, feather-fisted shots and lateral movement is winning these rounds.

Chisora trying new things and abandoning his original gameplan.

The Brit knows he’s losing.

In a weird kind of way, but I’m impressed and unimpressed by Usyk tonight.

[Thomastearns]

So far it's a typical Chisora fight.

A lot of empty bluster gradually leading to a surprise knockout.

Can Dereck make it to the end?

[TempleSlave]

Not sure about the 5th! Think Usyk nicked it
4:1 Usyk

[TempleSlave]

Fairly uneventful 6th. Usyk first on his bike a lot, then mostly in control.
5:1 Usyk

[Enlightened-One]

59-55 Usyk.

I feel Usyk could do more, but he seems reluctant to engage and try to close the show.

Usyk’s adopted a safety first strategy that requires discipline, but it isn’t good to watch.

Chisora is fading.

The Ukraine might force a late stoppage if the Brit runs out of gas, but in all honesty, a lop-sided decision win for Usyk seems far more likely.

It’s sad to say, but the outcome of this fight was far too predictable for my liking.

[margaret thatcher]

5-1 here too, Usyk may not beat the best of them but he has some nice moves and is a good addition at hw

[Enlightened-One]

One way traffic. Chisora has abandoned basic boxing fundamentals, throwing haymakers, is breathing heavily and has run out of ideas.

[TempleSlave]

Big one for Usyk due to these barrages at the end. Almost got Chisora in real trouble.
6:1 Usyk

[Enlightened-One]

Chisora on the back foot and breathing far too heavily.

If Usyk stops the Brit, it’ll be due to exhaustion rather than power.

The Brit emptied his tank chasing the rabbit running around the greyhound track.

7 rounds to 1 for Usyk. Far too predictable.

[TempleSlave]

The only question seems to be decision or will Usyk try to finish it inside
7:1

The only question seems to be decision or will Usyk try to finish it inside
7:1

That’s always been the question. This fight was never in doubt.

[Enlightened-One]

I feel that Usyk could do more, plant his feet and close the show, but he refuses to do so.

Chisora probably attempted his last hurrah in that round but barely landed anything.

I predicted a mismatch and that’s precisely what we’re seeing.

[TempleSlave]

Unexpected Chisora round
7:2 Usyk
