Scott was counted out because he was stupid enough to be on one knee at 9 and then tried to get up and was counted out in the act of rising.

When he steps up in class and continues his style of moving into range with zero head movement taking shots I can only see his resurrection going one way.

When one turns his back on his fellow protagonist and the ref in a corner with hands by his side, his mettle is surely challenged?

I don't think he intentionally turned his back.

He is too light. He needs to put more weight on. His resistance is going because of it.

He was hitting me with a couple of good hooks on the backfoot, but even then I wasn’t really wobbled. Then he sort of sidestepped and I fell over to the corner. I knew that if I had turned myself just slightly back towards him, he’d immediately nail me with his punches. So I said to myself: ‘lean towards the corner, and the ref will stop the action, wait till I can turn myself back, and then resume the fight.’ But just when this idea had crossed my mind, I immediately felt one of his punches on the back of my head, and it hurt like hell. I thought: ‘great, the ref will probably take some points off him for that’, but what did he do? He waved the whole thing off!

The initial announcement will name Deontay Wilder or Chris Arreola, on the day tickets go on sale.

A few weeks later, the promoter will confirm that its going to be Dimitrenko or Tony Thompson.

Two weeks before the show, an unknown but unbeaten novice Italian will be confirmed.

Four days before the show, Martin Rogan will be unveiled.

Derrick will start a bit slow, warm up, and stop Rogie in round 3 or 4. Afterwards, the promoter will say that at the next Copperbox show, Chisora will have a "big, meaningful" fight.
