George Groves: Dereck Chisora won’t survive 12 rounds against David Haye!

Former amateur champion and the reigning British and Commonwealth super middleweight titleholder, George Groves, believes Dereck Chisora won’t be able to survive all 12 rounds against his stablemate David Haye in their much-anticipated upcoming fight on July 14 at the West Ham’s Upton Park.

Groves recently had an interview with boxingfutures.com, in which he admitted that Chisora is a nightmare to box since he can make any boxer look bad but on the same note he remarked Haye’s speed and power will come superior on the fight night. He stressed Chisora will give Haye a tough fight but Haye will stop him before 12 rounds.

Chisora, former British heavyweight champion, pushed Vitali Klitschko to the full distance in their fight. Therefore, many out there think he will beat Haye on July 14. However, Groves doesn’t feel so.

The pugilist, also known as Saint, said Vitali was not in the best shape of his life against Chisora so to make any assumptions out of that fight would be wrong.

He said, “He’s going to make David work but David’s hand speed, his power, his boxing ability, and his agility is stuff that Dereck’s never going to be able to compete with. It might take a while but once David starts to land clean that’ll be the end of the show.”

He insisted, “I think Dereck’s not going to survive for 12 rounds, once David’s shots do start landing they have a concussive effect, I’ve seen it with his sparring partners, I’ve seen it when he boxes. Dereck took a big step up to fight Vitali Klitschko in his last fight but that was a very poor Klitschko and it was a shame really cos we’ve seen much better from Klitschko in the past so you can’t go off the back of that fight and say Dereck is going to beat Haye.”

Haye-Chisora bout has created a lot of hype among the audiences since everyone knows how much hatred they have in between them.

Let’s see if Haye can really come back under the main lights by beating Chisora in the ring.
