This is a great match-up, and I pick Chirora by later round TKO or KO.

Sanders, a tall, quick-fisted southpaw who packed crackling KO power, was really a four or five round fighter. Either he bombed out his foe early or succumbed to fatigue and lost by stoppage in later rounds.

By contrast, Chisora was built-like an ox, and had durability, strength, and stamina advantages over Sanders. Derek was also aggressive and hard-hitting, and capable of overwhelming lots of guys if they couldn't keep him at bay.

Sanders probably hurts - and possibly floors - Chisora in the opening rounds, but Dell Boy weathers the storm and breaks Sanders down in subsequent rounds. By the fifth Corrie's gasping for air and Chisora's in complete control.

There's definitely a chance that Sanders might bomb Chisora out earlier, but I think it's just an outside chance. IMO Chisora simply had the physical attributes and style to top Sanders.
