who wins?

Everything seems to point to a Scott points victory. Since his comeback he is a lot more slimline and serious. However he doesn't possess a heck of a lot of power. Chisora will be giving up height and reach and is never particularly hard to hit, and his power isn't really all that.

I think he will do the usual bullocking forward and will eat a lot of shots en route to a points defeat.

cant see past a points victory for scott. i think it will be a bore fest though.

Chisora fought and gave a great account of himself against giants like Fury, Vitali & Helenius ... I'm not sure why 'giving up' 2 inches to Scott will make the blindest bit of difference

I think Chisora points is the safe bet. He will simply outwork the featherfisted, undermatched Scott and has home advantage.

However, given how feeble Scott's opposition has been and how strong Del Boys is and the fact he is a career lightest 16 stone ... don't discount a mid-late rounds KO

Chisora is surprisingly difficult to hit. He has that Frazier type defensive that gives very little target and is difficult to nail.

Then watch him 'give a great account of himself' in the same kind of way by losing this one on points. Scott looked slick in his last fight against (for once) a well thought of opponent. Having that fight a draw was as bad as Chisora vs Helenius. Scott will be on his bike all fight long and Chisora won't have the power to overcome it. All in my opinion of course.

Are you saying Chisora will be 16 stone??? Not unless he's chopped off a leg! I'd be surprised if he's not over 17 stone.

I'm thinking Chisora on points. Scott won't be able to keep Del off him by about the 3rd round.

That confidence he must have had after fighting all his career and V Klit and not getting stopped has being taken away.Has Haye cracked Chisora's chin for good?

Scott will almost certainly win the first three rounds but after that it gets interesting for me, Chisora is in better shape with the addition of a dietician, the point about him not being
as easy to hit as it seems is valid, he has a great engine and if you watch the last three rounds of the Glazkov fight, Scott was slowing considerably and throwing a lot less for
me than he was early, Chisora will land a lot more than Glazkov and this is a genuine 50/50 for me and with Chisora having the home advantage that could prove crucial.

from todays public workout

Is that Don Charles on the pads... or have they teleported in the 1990s version of George Foreman to train with him?

He looks in decent shape from that picture definately, I think a win over Scott would propel him back into the mix because all of a sudden people realise that Malik is a good boxer and is better than most thought, that having been said I think Chisora holds a great chance here.

He is never going to be body beautiful but if del comes in at 16 stone dead I will be amazed and happy he is taking his career seriously at long last.

More likely I see him coming in at late 16s and still carrying timber and looking too fleshy.

Still looks a bit fleshy to me on the videos

its a real tough one. Malik Scott certainly isnt going to KO chisora. Chisora could overwhelm Scott and stop him late or win on points or lose on points.

I was going for Scott on points. Chisora's last performance was terrible. However, he looks to be in the best shape of his career. Which means he's actually up for it. Scott doesn't have enough power to stop Chisora but Chisora might be able to stop Scott late.

That's exactly how I see it!

Scott has never fought outside the US, and doesn't look like he's ever fought a decent pressure fighter. I think Chisora could break his heart by the midway stage, but I guess we still don't really know how good Scott is.

Chisora's performance against Fury was utterly despicable! He didn't even try and I simply recall him covering up in a corner and goading Fury because he wasn't getting hurt.

Weight-in results?

COME ON DEL BOY!!!


Get some yank spanking done

How tall is del? Still say he should be low 16s, he is in so so shape there but could definitely cut a bit more fat which would surely help things later in fight stamina wise.

If he loses here, I'm not sure where he goes. Surely back down to domestic level for next fight. Suppose it depends on how he were to lose, should it happen.

Despite all that slickness and handspeed, it is difficult to see how can Scott keep Chisora at bay for ten rounds. The lack of a punching power is a big problem for Scott in this fight. I have to go with Chisora late stoppage.
