The slap heard around Europe!

Today at their respective weigh in heavy weight boxer and challenger Derek Chisora slapped World Boxing Champion Vitali Klitschko. Why did this slap need to be delivered? Click here to see it.

Well for one of a few reasons is Chisora is a huge under dog who is 1-2 in his last 3 fights. The other reason is unfortunately this fight has no underlining interest. Most of Vitali's fight have been one sided boring matches and this one does give the impression that there will be no changes. Until the weigh in.

Klitschko is a huge favorite to win and will more than likely win the match with Chisora making attempts at a knock out. But I have to wonder how many Vitali fans are wondering if the WBC heavyweight champ will come out with both barrels blazing? That Vitali will not box his routine jab and cross that he does in a robotic manner and will come out at the first round going for the kill? Do Chisora's fans now think that the Brit may have the bravery(not the exact word I am looking for) to actually conquer Klitschko?

But I believe that when Chisora slapped Klitschko it did one thing: it made fans want to see how it ends and will watch twelve one sided boring rounds to see one thing happen: a Knock out.


I will say this, I wasn't really going to watch the fight but now I have to see how Klitschko is defeated by a man that has disrespected him or how he comes out of his routine and beats Chisora without mercy. Either way great publicity for the sport! Thank You Derek for making me look forward to this fight.
