By Dave Lahr: HBO is thinking about putting on the April 30th fight between IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) and unbeaten British heavyweight Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) for American boxing fans to see this fight. This is a wise move by HBO if they do decide to show this fight, we’re very likely going to be seeing a new heavyweight champion on April 30th and it will be good that HBO will be the ones to show Wladimir get taken out.

Dan Rafael had this to say about the Klitschko-Chisora and HBO news: “HBO is considering buying the Wladimir Klitschko-Dereck Chisora heavyweight championship fight on April 30th.”

This is going to be great, because Wladimir has been one of the most boring heavyweights in memory, and Chisora is the complete opposite. He brings excitement and action to the table at all times and doesn’t look to take the safe route in his fights.

This is a match-up is a class fight between a pressure fighter of the first order in the young 27-year-old Chisora and a fighter that tends to wear down under pressure and get knocked out in Wladimir. The only way that Wladimir escapes from being knocked out in this fight is if he lets loose with his power early and gets to Chisora before he gets to him. Unfortunately, Chisora is very hard to hit because of his head and torso movement. He won’t be spending much time on the outside and will be darting in close where he’s going to be giving Wladimir all kinds of problems with short, crisp power shots.

Wladimir doesn’t have any inside fighting skills to speak of, and will fall back on what he usually does when an opponent comes inside by trying to clinch. Chisora won’t have any of that business and continue to bludgeon Wladimir while being held by the big Ukrainian. We may see a very early knockout in this fight with Wladimir being sent down quickly. Hopefully HBO picks up this fight so that American boxing fans can see Chisora decimate Klitschko.
