David Worth believes the veteran heavyweight Derek Chisora will combat Francis Ngannou in his subsequent combat in Saudi Arabia after defeating Otto Wallin by a 12-round unanimous choice final Saturday night time in Manchester, England.
Ngannou (0-2) could be harmful for a fighter like Chisora as a result of he hits so onerous, and feasts on gradual plodders. Chisora could be a sitting duck in opposition to Ngannou.
Worth additionally talked about Dillian Whyte and Joseph Parker as prospects for Chisora. Parker already beat Derek twice, and it could be an enormous step backward for the New Zealander to go from combating world-class opposition like Daniel Dubois to combating a low-level man like Chisora. A lot of the high 15 contenders would beat Chisora. His crew picked the weakest by way of energy in Wallin to enhance his possibilities of successful. Even a backside feeder like Jemaine Franklin would have been an excessive amount of for Chisora.
There’s zero probability Derek will use his IBF necessary spot, which he earned final night time, to problem Dubois as a result of that will be a 100% slaughter. Dubois would knock Chisora out within the first spherical, and there could be an incredible backlash from followers who felt ripped off by the occasion organizers.
You possibly can’t put Chisora in with heavyweight as a result of he’ll be massacred, and that’s dangerous for the promoters who placed on the occasion and a horrible search for the game. Chisora received beat up as it’s final night time in opposition to the fastidiously picked Otto Wallin. This man was well-vetted earlier than this combat.
I don’t assume Parker would need to be seen taking this combat except he was provided a great deal of cash and coming off a knockout loss to Dubois. It could be a tough promote as a result of Parker already beat Chisora twice, and it appears pointless for them to combat a 3rd time.
The 41-year-old Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) mentioned after the combat that he deserves a “blockbuster” for his fiftieth combat, mentioning Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk as his two decisions. Nevertheless, these guys won’t combat a ham & egger like Chisora for apparent causes.
Ngannou (0-2) could be the best opponent for Chisora if he can get him as a result of the combat would create curiosity, and he would have an opportunity of successful if he doesn’t get hit by one of many massive pictures from the 38-year-old.
“I reckon it’ll be Francis Ngannou in Saudi. That’s what he reckons,” mentioned David Worth to Ring Journal about who he believes Derek Chisora will combat subsequent for combat #50 following his win over Otto Wallin final Saturday night time. “Whoever he fights, it’ll make an important contest style-wise.
Worth provides that he felt that the knockdowns that Chisora scored within the Wallin combat appeared extra like him being off stability, which is what Otto was saying. He mentioned his toes received tangled. I watched the combat and felt that each knockdowns have been bogus, badly blown calls by the referee. These have been NOT knockdowns. Worth says it could have been a draw in case you take the 2 knockdowns away.
The scores have been 114-112, 116-110 and 117-109. I had Wallin successful the combat 7-5. I didn’t depend the 2 knockdowns as a result of they have been slips.
