By Jake Headland: With the summer fast approaching us fight fans the world over are looking forward to this years mega-fights. Ok, they’re looking at Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Manny Paquaio to see if they are at last fighting one and another………with the answer of course being no. I am one who still believes this fight will never happen, the problem is that success breeds egotism and when you have the 2 best fighters on the planet there is a lot of success and therefore a lot of egotism!

Chisora gets destroyed by Vitali tonight
(Photo credit: KMG/Dmitriy Abramov) By Scott Gilfoid: Tonight in Munich, Germany, British heavyweight Dereck Chisora (15-2, 9 KO’s) will be taking a severe beating at the hands of WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s) in front of what will likely be a sold out 14,000 seat arena. I’m going to be laughing tonight at this slaughter and enjoying every last second.
Chisora really stepped in on Friday during the weigh-in when he decided it was a good idea to slap Vitali across the face. Chisora got away with the slap but will be repaid tenfold by Vitali tonight, and will likely be kicking himself for not cringing and groveling during the weigh-in instead of playing tough guy. Had Chisora kissed Vitali’s backside over and over again, he might have been lucky enough for Vitali to treat the fight like a 12 round sparring session instead of a seek and destroy mission like he’s going to be doing tonight.
