Wallin annihilates Ehwarieme in one
IBF #12, WBC #15 heavyweight Otto Wallin (27-2, 15 KOs) needed just 48 seconds to demolish Onoriode Ehwarieme (20-5, 19 KOs) in the first round on Friday night at the Tropicana in Atlantic City. Wallin connected with a straight left to drop Ehwarieme, who couldn’t continue.

Joyce weighing huge so i have hedged my bets and gone for Chisora early and JJ late
If JJ hasn't trained Del may catch him early....
Otto Wallin fight was a very low level come back opponent - I don't think that will move him back into contender status

I think that, with odds, Chisora is a good bet. JJ's chin is not what it used to be after ZZ. Good luck!

The one thing i didn't bet on was a Chisora decision- i didn't think it possible
Chisora looked dead on his feet from 30sec of the first round but infact controlled the tempo of the fight for the most part and made JJ miss plenty. JJ still looked like he had gas in the tank to dispatch del at any point but Chisora either tied him up- landed a big shot or walked away.
JJ is still a difficult night for anyone under top 5-6 but you still need decent power to deter him. JJ v Dillian Whyte would be good fun

Chisora won the first half, JJ the second. Both guys, especially JJ, had good stamina with the amount of bombs they were throwing at one another. Great fight, close.

Chisora vs Joyce was a fun brawl that exceeded my expectations. I had Chisora winning 95-94. Both guys left it all in the ring.
