    Interesting. Chisora is a decent gatekeeper, will give us much more of an idea of where Usyk is as a heavyweight than that shitty Witherspoon fight a few months back.

    I fancy Chisora, I think. Just. Really good step up fight for Usyk. If he wins, he confirms himself as a live body at HW IMO.

    I think it's also dependent on how he wins. Let's be honest if he wants to win one of the titles held by Fury or Joshua he can't realistically be expected to compete with either of them if he scrapes past a guy like Chisora, who imo would lose handily to AJ and has already lost handily to Fury twice.

    REED's Taking Usyk, But Expects him to STRUGGLE a Bit for Sure...

    Dropped, Badly Hurt, SOMETHING to That Effect...Maybe Even a Rematch Worthy Affair, But Usyk Wins Nonetheless...And if he SCHOOLS Chisora, Beats Him w/No Fuss, Usyk's LEGIT Top 5-6 in the Division...

    Chisora is a big brawler. He's game and a proper mauler, in the literal sense of the word. Usyk is a fine technician, but he's a LOT lighter and smaller. It will be very interesting to see if Derek can 'do a Fury'?

    Very interesting indeed. Chisora has been really good lately and thus he is a solid gatekeeper.

    Usyk is a guy with multiple tactics. By nature he seems to be a brawler but he can also box and move. In this bout I think he has to be careful since he isn't good enough as a slugger
