chisora vs johnson

It looks like Del Boy is going to be squaring off against the mighty Kevin Johnson along side furys fight against a bin man?

How do people see this going?

I can only see Chisora winning a really boring points decision thus setting us for Chisora vs Fury 2

Stoft stoppage win for Chisora against a guy who looks like he would rather be somewhere else.

Doesn't look like a KO is on the cards for either man, so it has the potential to be a low quality fight that goes the distance. Chis for his own careers sake could do with 12 rounds of competitive boxing, but it probably won't be fan friendly.

In the Copperbox the fights are stopped as soon as Chisora lands

Got to say, I don't think Chisora's chin has been anywhere near as good since Haye cracked it. Johnson's not the man to take advantage though, too slow.

You'd think to hype the fight they'd bring in less of a spoiler?

Chisoras chin is overrated. He was badly wobbled there recently by a journeyman and he tried to cover it up by pretending to showboat. It was quite funny actually.

On the other hand his pre-Haye performances showed tremendous punch resistance, hence why his wobbles have been in his previous fight and against Gerber. He does do the right thing when hurt against these ponderous footed guys though, he gets out the way until he's recovered then goes to work which you can't hold against him.

He was a journeyman, but he was also a big lump who could punch hard those shots would have hurt anyone.
Terrible match up for Chisora against the awful Kingpin Johnson it is surely nailed on to be the stinker of the year Johnson throws no punch's or has no ambition but he is tough enough and crafty enough to do the 12 rounds with anyone. If Frank Warren wanted to make Del Boy look good this is the worst opponent imaginable.

I dont think Chisora has as good a chin as is made out is the real reason. But hes safe in the Copperbox in any case because even if he does get wobbled it seems to be the refs cue to stop it in the next round.

I think his fights against Klistchko and Helenius are enough to convince me he could take a big, big shot.

Regardless of whether he ever did have a top draw chin or not, he doesn't look to have one now, but what he does have is added fitness, motivation and speed.

Yepo his chin was very tough against klitschko and helenius and to an extent against haye. He took some massive shots in those 5 rounds and was ko'd after haye landed an amazing combination of punches that would have knocked nearly any HW out.

I think Chisora chins is good. Gerber can crack and he caught sweet. He still had enough about to get on his toes until his head clears. But Chisora has shown he can be hurt now.

Chisora has a very good chin, took Haye several Haye makers to put him down and even then he was back on his feet and the reff had to stop it.

Took, Bombs from VK, Helenius, and Fury with out being wobbled.. and I dont think he was hurt in his last fight, just a bit shocked ... it was also not an early stoppage, it was a good one.

It was at least a weird one. Don't think the ref gets a fair deal on it though; the guy turned his back and ran into the corner.
