I ORIGINALLY POSTED THIS LAST NIGHT AND FOR SOME REASON IT DIDN'T PUT UP THIS TEXT AND SAID THAT A PERSON CALLED "GIBBO" HAD DONE THE THREAD !!!!! SO I AM DOING THE THREAD AGAIN...........WTF
People seem to be seeing Dereck in two seperate lights this evening. One is negative because of he actions towards Vitali and Wladimir and the other is positive because he tried to fight Vitali which was the opposite of what Haye did with Wladimir, as if that somehow makes him heroic or justifies his behaviour. Chisora fought a predictable fight in coming forward and trying to land his right hand, whilst having very little success with anything else, as the judges scorecards showed. He adopted the same tactics as he did in the Helenius fight which were never going to be succesful against Vitali, who, i might add, would have knocked Chisora out had he not been a slightly shop soiled 40 year old fighter who has been fed easy defences for the last few years.
I don't think Chisora deserved his title shot when it was first announced way back and subsequently cancelled by the Klitschko's. Since that time Chisora has lost to Tyson Fury and was denied a points win over Helenius, but he simply wasn't ready for a world title shot, as he himself stated at the end of the fight. You can't blame Chisora for taking his chance to earn a few quid, but actually moving in Vitali's general direction and throwing a few punchesin comparison to Haye's challenge of Wladimir doesn't make you the pride of British boxing. The only suprise tonight was that Vitali wasn't more physically imposing and dominant in the fight and Chisora managed to go the distance, but whether you argue if he won four rounds or three or possibly five rounds, in my eyes he was ccomfortably beaten.
His behaviour was not only disgusting and unacceptable, in was verging on the sinister. You do not slap an opponent at the customary stare down, not least a champion of Vitali's calibre, someone who always conducts himself well and deserves more respect. Secondly, you do not spit out water into anyones face, least of all another credible champion in Wladimir. Whether Wladimir came in the dressing room as Chisora was wrapping his hands or whether Chisora felt aggrieved over the cancelation of the initial bout, it is something you do not do and again, Wladimir deserves more respect than was given to him by Chisora. You can try and justify Chisora's actions by saying it was all done for Hype to get a re-match or a shot at Wladimir, but some things are beyond the pale.
The next thing i hear is that Chisora is mouthing about wanting to kill haye and apperently the two of them end up in a semi brawl involving Adam Booth. Now Haye was clearly there to be seen and heard, to watch how much Vitali has declined and then throw his hat into the ring, as he duly did when interviewed after the fight. I thought you were retired David ? Obviously the plan is to beat Vitali and then gain a re-match with Wladimir if the public would stomach that fight again. This last 24 hours has been horrendous for British heavyweight boxing and Chisor's behaviour and antics are at the very centre of it all. Dereck will never be world title material, despite Warren's stupid opinion and certainly not against the Klitschko's. His behaviour should see him never get a title shot again and he didn't even deserve this one. The whole this has been an embaressing pantomine and Chisora should be ashamed of himself.
You put up a brave performance Dereck, but you were outclassed by a fading 40 year old man..........and your a cock !!
