Vitali will make Chisora quit

I see a quit job by Chisora coming on in this fight rather than seeing him outright stopped in the more traditional fashion. God, I hope I’m wrong about this. The last thing I want to see is Chisora flagging down the referee to get help in having the fight stopped. It’ll look so bad. Chisora doesn’t even have the slightest hint about brutal it’s going to be out there against the 6’7” Vitali. Chisora is like a first surfer looking at a 30-foot wave and thinking he can swim out and surf it. Instead, Chisora is going to be torn apart by that wave and will likely hit the bottom of the ocean floor four or five times before he’s dragged to the shore.

I see Vitali beating him to the point where Chisora signals he’s had enough around the 6th, maybe even before that. He’s so utterly out of his class in this fight. The guy has lost two out of his last three fights and now he’s fighting for the title. Pathetic of Vitali to recruit from the bottom when looking for challenger, and Vitali’s brother Wladimir is no better in digging up 39-year-old Jean Marc Mormeck to fight on March 3rd. I actually think Wladimir’s got the better opponent. At least Mormeck has won world titles in the past. All Chisora has done is lose to top fighters.

Okay, so Chisora is going to come at Vitali with his Joe Frazier fighting style and get hit with left hooks, right hands and jabs over and over again. Chisrora’s short arms won’t be able to find Vitali and he’ll keep eating the Ukrainian’s punches. Chisora’s face will quickly swell up under the pounding and he’ll look so unhappy like someone who missed Christmas. I think Chisora will ultimately pull a quit job around the 6th at the latest, but we could see Chisora signaling to the referee as early as the 3rd if Vitali doesn’t carry the guy to give the German fans some entertainment. When Vitali fights fodder opposition like this, he sometimes seems to carry them until later rounds, just hitting them enough to where he’s got them under control but not decimating them.
