Deontay Wilder vs. Derek Chisora: Prediction
With massive height and reach advantages, I predict a TKO/KO victory for Wilder over Chisora. Chisora is likely to move forward and cover a lot of distance, which makes him vulnerable to counterpunches.
Even if they are at the sunset of their careers, both boxers still possess the one-punch knockout power that can put each other to sleep. But Wilder’s nine-inch reach will be the biggest catalyst, especially in neutralizing Chisora’s aggression.
Wilder has seen a decline in his punching production ever since he lost his world title, but he’ll need to up his work rate this time to counter the aggressive approach of the British boxing heavyweight veteran.
