Former British boxer and current boxing commentator Karl Forch believes Usik should win the fight.
“It’s hard to judge what Wick looks like in a heavyweight because he’s been there for a very short time. But such a good first heavyweight wrestler is hard to write off against any wrestler in this division. We need to know what Wick will look like when he is pressed by a heavy weight and strength, “said Forch.
The former boxer also believes that Chizora is not a top-class boxer: “Chizora has lost to Plev, Fury, White, Hey and Vitaly Klickko. I don’t want to show disrespect, but he’s not in the same category as the big boys. He hasn’t shown that he can compete. at the highest level. Usik has to beat him and do it with style. “
Spensers Olivers
Forch’s colleague and other former boxer, Spencer Oliver, sees Chizor’s path to victory, but also believes that the Ukrainian should succeed.
Oliver points out that Usik has mastery and is one of the best boxers in the world, but the Ukrainian achieved the loudest success in the first heavyweight category, while in this division he has won a mediocre victory against Ches Whiterspoon.
“If he hits one of these heavy blows, Derek will instantly earn the respect of Oleksandr. But if Derek allows him to find any kind of rhythm, it won’t end well. Derek’s best chance is to keep a close distance and make heavy blows from the start. “will it be enough to beat a guy with incredible skills and boxing IQ? I do not think. Usic will most likely win by points, and with a big difference,” predicts Oliver.
Johnny Nelson
Nelson, who still holds the record for the longest time as the first heavyweight champion, also believes that Chizora will not be the favorite in this duel. He believes that this fight for Usik will be more like a test of heavy weight.
“If we look at Oleksandr’s technique and skills, he’s probably the best in the whole heavyweight division. But we haven’t seen his ability to deal with big opponents and strong blows yet,” says Nelson.
The former champion predicts that Usiks will win the opponent and win with a technical knockout in the later rounds. In turn, Chizora’s best chance is to lure Usik in exchange for heavy blows, cutting off the ring.
“But I think Usick will win. He will box Derek and earn the referee that he will stop fighting in one of the later rounds,” Nelson predicts.
Tony Bellie
The man who suffered a loss in the final battle of his career directly against Usik is not as unequivocal in his prediction as the above-mentioned gentlemen.
“Oleksandr will meet a man who has always been heavyweight. Derek is a big and strong boy. One thing that can never be written off is a strong blow, and that’s for Derk. hook hit, he has a chance. Yes, on paper it is an impossible mission, but if anyone can do it, it is Derek Chizor, “says Bellue.
Dave Allens
The heavyweight boxer, who has also been Usika’s sparring partner, believes that both athletes have a chance in the upcoming fight.
“Sparring with Usik wasn’t the most fun experience of my life. He’s on a different level. Oleksandr’s boxing skills are in a different world, but if Derek hits him, things can level off very quickly. So I’m interested in this fight. But Usik is probably the best boxer with whom I have shared the ring during my career. “
Most experts predict that this will be a simple enough victory for Usik, but Chizor certainly has the power to punish a Ukrainian mischief in previous rounds. It is very likely that a victory over 36-year-old British Usik would pave the way for fighting the heavyweight division’s loudest names.
