Chisora vs. Scott

Warren: Chisora can’t afford a loss

by

chisora34By Scott Gilfoid: British promoter Frank Warren believes that his fighter heavyweight Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) can ill afford a loss on Saturday night to the highly skilled American Malik Scott (35-0-1, 12 KO’s) at the Wembley Arena, in London, United Kingdom.

Warren said to The Sun “This is about credibility for Dereck, to show he belongs in the elite. He certainly can’t afford to a loss, he has to win, win, win all the way.”

Well, I don’t know that I really see Malik Scott as an elite heavyweight. To me, elite means someone ranked in the top 5 in the heavyweight division, and even then, I think elite for the heavyweight division is really top 2, because pretty much the rest of the heavyweights in the top 15 are badly flawed.

Chisora vs Scott: Is Malik the real deal? Can Chisora get back to winning ways?

by

scott38By Thomas Cowan: This Saturday, unbeaten American heavyweight Malik Scott faces former world title challenger Dereck Chisora in Chisora’s backyard, London, United Kingdom. Despite the fact Chisora (16-4) has almost half the fights that Scott (35-0-1) has had, it is Scott who is taking the step up in class.

Scott drew with a limited Vyacheslav Glazkov in his last fight. Scott dominated the fight and should have won comfortably but somehow one judge had the Ukranian winning and one had it a draw. Glazkov claimed he won the fight but in my experience a fighter who smiles and raises his fist in celebration when a draw is announced is not a fighter who felt he won.

Malik Scott: Chisora’s entire focus is on outside of the ring antics rather than inside of the ring

by

scott37By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight contender Malik Scott (35-0-1, 12 KO’s) thinks his opponent for Saturday night Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) puts his entire focus on outside of the ring antics rather than what he does once he gets inside of the ring. Scott says his focus on what happens inside of the ring with showing his skills and winning his fights.

Scott said to esnewsreporting, “He’s overmatched though. If you look everything he’s going for is outside of the ring. Everything I’m going for is inside the ring.”

Scott is obviously talking about how Chisora has kissed one of his opponents outside of the ring, slapped WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, spit water in the face of Wladimir Klitschko, and was involved in a brawl with David Haye.

Chisora: I saw fear in Malik Scott’s eyes during stare down

by

scott40By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) thinks he saw fear in the eyes of unbeaten American Malik Scott (35-0-1, 12 KO’s) in their stare down today at the North London Gym. The two fighters met after Scott had missed a press conference on Monday due to him reportedly not knowing about it. Chisora and Scott will be facing each other this Saturday night in a fight at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, in London, United Kingdom.

This is a must win for both guys for different reasons. Chisora has been getting beaten left and right for the past couple of years and now has 4 losses in his last 6 fights. He needs a win just to be considered a gate keeper. Scott needs a victory to move up the world rankings from the #13 IBF, #15 WBA to get in position for a title shot.

Chisora trying to lose weight for Malik Scott fight on July 20th

by

chisora45By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) is reportedly dieting to take off blubber for his July 20th fight against American heavyweight Malik Scott (35-0-1, 12 KO’s) at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, London, United Kingdom. The fight is scheduled for 10 rounds and Chisora, 29, will be the hometown fighter in this one.

Chisora said to thesun.co.uk “I am feeling great and my new diet is bringing the weight off. I have no idea what the diet is. I go and see this company, they put me on a machine, do tests and then deliver the food and I eat it.”

I don’t like the way this sounds. I wonder how much blubber Chisora put on after his 9th round TKO win over journeyman Hector Alfredo Avila last April.

Chisora: Malik Scott will be tougher than Deontay Wilder would have been

by

chisora3243By Scott Gilfoid: Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) dodged a real bullet when heavyweight knockout artist Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) couldn’t make it over to the UK to fight him due to some legal problems hanging over his head.

Chisora was facing almost certain loss with the Wilder fight given how powerful the American puncher is. But now that Deontay is out of the picture, Chisora has less threatening foe in unbeaten Malik Scott (35-0-1, 12 KO’s) ahead of him on July 20th at the Wembley Arena, in London, UK.

Dereck Chisora faces Malik Scott in 10 rounder on July 20th

by

chisora232By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) takes a dangerous test against unbeaten American heavyweight Malik Scott (35-0-1, 12 KO’s) in a scheduled 10 round bout on July 20th at the Wembley Arena in London, UK. Chisora had hoped to fight another American Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s), but Wilder was unable to take the fight at this early stage.

However, he does remain very interested in facing Chisora in the future. Of course, Wilder’s interest in facing Chisora may disappear if looks as bad as he did in his last fight against Hector Alfredo Avila last April.

Chisora looked sloppy, tired and past it in winning a 9th round TKO over the 38-year-old fighter. If Chisora fights like that against Scott, he’ll lose the fight, it’s as simple as that.
