Chisora really is an old school fighter.
Fought Haye, Fury (twice), Vitali Klitschko, Helenius, Wladimir Klitschko (pulled out twice) and now Pulev.
The guy has balls of steel and a chin to match it.

Pulev for me. A class boxer.
Del Boy will have to be really fired up for this if he is to stand a chance of winning.
It's actually a good quality European title fight.

Re: Dereck Chisora vs. Kubrat Pulev - May 7th 2016
Think this might be a bit of a snoozer if I'm honest,still it's a good fight from both guys POV,I haven't seen Pulev since the Klitschko fight,both men are of similar standing,Chisora not as technical as Pulev but better resume,his CV since the Fury rematch isn't stellar and that might go against him here although Kubrat's recent opposition hasn't been great either
I'm struggling to pick a winner here,Pulev maybe ??

Re: Dereck Chisora vs. Kubrat Pulev - May 7th 2016
Is his resume better though? He might have fought more high level opponents but he's lost to most of them. Pulev's win over Thompson at the time I think is better than anything Chisora has done IMO.handsofstone wrote:Think this might be a bit of a snoozer if I'm honest,still it's a good fight from both guys POV,I haven't seen Pulev since the Klitschko fight,both men are of similar standing,Chisora not as technical as Pulev but better resume,his CV since the Fury rematch isn't stellar and that might go against him here although Kubrat's recent opposition hasn't been great either

Yeah Pulev's win over Thompson is better than any of Chisora's wins but I was talking more of the names on the records than winslefty wrote:Is his resume better though?

Tough fight to call. I'm edging Pulev on points.

Re: Dereck Chisora vs. Kubrat Pulev - May 7th 2016
Have to say these 11pm main events are a pain in the scrotum! Too late IMO. I remember a few years ago if you went to a show and it ended in an early KO you would be back in the boozer for half ten!wesshaw1985 wrote:yes mate, this is on at approx. 10pm, Crolla at approx. 11pm.rd350lc wrote:Is this likely to be before Crolla ?ste1983 wrote:

He came in light. Just over 17 stone I think. Best I've seen him in a while.London Boy wrote:What was Chisoras weight like yesterday?
Re: Dereck Chisora vs. Kubrat Pulev - May 7th 2016
Yeah agree. He looked in pretty good shape. Hopefully he's half as fired up tonight as he was at the weigh in yesterday. If he is it should be a decent enough fight. Still can't see past Pulev though but I hope I'm wrong.PredatorHayds wrote:He came in light. Just over 17 stone I think.

Obviously he divides opinion but he's been good with me.
I think Del fired up is a good thing. He's one of the few fighters who fights better when the red mist is there.
I fancied Pulev before but Del is ticking all the boxes.
Re: Dereck Chisora vs. Kubrat Pulev - May 7th 2016
Has Pulev ever been hurt or down other than the Wlad fight? I can't remember any incidents but I've not seen all his fights. I'm looking forward to this fight more than the Crolla one.PredatorHayds wrote:I've met Del a few times and really like him.Stuarty30 wrote:Yeah agree. He looked in pretty good shape.

So am I. Really hope he pulls it off. Don't see either having the power to KO the other.

Re: Dereck Chisora vs. Kubrat Pulev - May 7th 2016
I'm in that boat too. Despite Chisora's chin not being what it once was I'm not sure Pulev is that much of a banger.
Hoping for a good fight and a Chisora win.
