Looks like Del Boy-Dillian II is in the works for December 22nd. The rematch to a genuine domestic classic with two fucking nutters who don't like each other (or are very good at pretending they don't) Let's remind ourselves of the antics leading up to the first fight, and the fight itself, then discuss who takes the rematch, Dillian Whyte on the form of his career under Mark 'Fackin minge' Tibbs or a revitalised Del Boy Chisora.
I like them both but I got Big Dil (of course) not sure if he'll crack Chisora's big coconut head though.
All jokes aside, The first fight was fucking brilliant.
Whyte is a much better fighter than he was when he fought Chisora 2 years ago. Chisora is a lot worse than he was 2 years ago and he was getting battered by Takam before the KO.
Even though he sparked a guy Joshua struggled to make a dent in I don't think the actual performance was all that impressive and still believe Whyte carries more power.
The form book since they last met suggest's that Whyte has levelled up whilst Chisora has stayed around the same. I mean lets be honest most people would of fancied Parker to beat Whyte if they had boxed in December 2016.
Chisora goes to the ropes too often for a break and Whyte has a impressive work rate. I expect him to win on a wide points and it won't be a classic that the fans expect.
Whyte has improved a lot but Derek is in his best shape yet and just coming off of a career best win over Takam, hard one to call but I’m hoping Whyte wins.
The fight against Takam will have taken a lot out Chisora and he's been in a lot of hard fights, Whyte has had a few hard fights too but he's younger and fresher.
The best thing Dillian can do is not wind up Del boy in the pressers, a motivated and pissed off Del boy is a hard nights work for most HW's. Give him respect in the build up and if he's flat during the fight Whyte can use the jab to control the fight. It'll probably end up a war though as Whyte will wind him up and as Del boy has had so many tough fights I can see Whyte stopping him late.

First fight was an absolute classic and i'll be very keen to see what plays out second time round.
I had Del Boy winning the first bout and felt he was hard done by not to get the decision. Time is not on his side though and Dillian seems to have stepped up a gear and has had a few decent wins since their last encounter. Not sure how many more tough fights Del can handle?
Brilliant win for Del last time out though, so maybe he still has a bit left in the tank.
These two seem made for each other and i think it would be another barn burner, the boxing will soon turn into a brawl i feel.
Heart says derek but head says dillian by a wider margin than last time, a 116-112 type of affair.
Whyte points. Would no doubt be a good fight again but let's not forget del looked terrible in his loss after dillian iirc. Great win for him vs takam though but I just think Whyte does him. Too young and fresh.
Re the press conference incident, I think Adam Smith did brilliantly when faced with Chisora. Everyone else was panicking around him like a bunch of girls yet ice cold Smith just settled Chisora down like he was a little angry kid.
My opinion of Smith grew with that confrontation. As you say everyone else did nothing except Smith. Hearn turned into a 12 year old boy on the spot. His voice sqeeked like he has sucked on a can of helium.
To be honest with you mate I don't think any less of people for backing down or getting scared of someone if that's not a contradiction to the person they claim to be, Hearn openly calls himself a silver spoon kid and says he can't fight for toffee and all the rest of it, Therefore, I can't really think bad of him for backing down and quivering to an enraged Dereck Chisora.
If you're a bloke, there's nothing wrong with saying look I'm not a fighter, I don't like confrontation etc. That's fine by me. I don't think any less of you at all.
For all the shit Adam Smith rightfully gets for being a clear seat-sniffer and selecting the most atrocious team of analysts/commentators imaginable, he actually comes across as a decent bloke imo.
He’s clearly passionate about the sport and he openly praises fights and fighters from other networks.

Smith was quality there. Even though he is annoying as hell at times, he is very highly respected by fighters in the sport. You can see that when he managed to calm Del down.
I dont know why but its so hilarious listening to that exchange.
Chisora furiously talking ghetto like hes gonna fuck whyte up, and adam responding calmly over and over again.
Hearn on the other hand really did shit himself (not that i blame him).
In fairness, He is in a position where he's very unlikely to get a smack. It would be the ultimate bad career move to smack the head of Sky Boxing wouldn't it really? You're never getting on Sky again in your life. Del Boy is a mad cunt, but he's not that mad.
Whyte has improved a lot but Derek is in his best shape yet and just coming off of a career best win over Takam, hard one to call but I'm hoping Whyte wins.
I agree that it's a hard one to call. Especially when you consider Del Boy is a nightmare for anyone when he's bang up for it, which he will be vs Whyte!
