Chisora vs Helenius

Looks like Chisora vs Helenius is going ahead for the European heavyweight title. I think Chisora has a shot if he is in shape but would still be an underdog. If he turns up like he did for the Fury fight though he is in big trouble and will be out of there by the 6th. How do you guys see this going?

interesting fight this... a lot depends on chisoras fitness really but have to favour helenius.

I had a look at his weight for his fight after Fury and he was back down to 241lb which is a good sign. Ridiculous him coming in above 260lbs for the Fury fight.

apparently it was something to do with a hernia depends if you wanna believe it or not

I choose not to believe it.

Helenius has had a bloody brilliant start to his career - Ko'ing Peters and Brewster in his first 16 fights. I've not even seen him yet.

Helenius should win this quite easily. Chisora is far too easy to hit and Helenius has good power and variety to his shots. I don't see him being at all troubled by Chisora.

helenius isnt bad not enough technique to trouble the klits but hits hard!

Deceptively hard, I think his main strength is he is also quite fast and accurate too, albeit in quite an awkward looking way. I think he would cause Wlad some trouble as he is big enough to get up close and he can certainly bang. It's a bit early to be talking about the Klitchko's, but it is inevitable in this divison since it is so devoid of credible contenders.

i would be suprised if helenius could understand how to get past wlads jab in truth

Helenius has some seriously heavy hands. His last knockout of Liakhovich was pretty brutal.

If Chisora turns up like he did against Fury, he'll get KO'd and KO'd badly.
In order to stand any chance, Chisora will need to come in his best ever condition.

chisora needs to be elusive and play the in and out game. i dont really see it ending well for dereck...

Is there anything you can say that doesnt have homerotic overtones!

i think he needs to get in real close and get right on the inside of helenius. if he can get inside helenius then it would make helenius feel uncomfortable. helenius likes to be the one who gives it so i guess we can see how he is at receiving.

chisora should win this. helenius is very tough, but he could easily be outboxed. liakhovich would have beaten him if in better shape and peter is well past his best. if chisora is in better shape than his last fight and doesnt get drawn into a tear up he could win this easily.

If the same Peter that turned against Wlad the second time would have beaten him. Peter gassed and he took advantage. He was out of sorts in the earlier rounds. I think Chisora stands a chance here if he turns up in condition
