Otto Wallin sounded really disappointed on Saturday night about his loss of Derek Chisora in their IBF heavyweight title eliminator at the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester, England.
Wallin’s view
Wallin said he felt his rash caused his outcome in the ninth and twelfth; It looked like that, but referee John Latham ruled him.
Wallin (27-3, 15 food) would still have lost because he took large shots of Chisora (36-13, 23 COs), and he did not have the power to answer back. He caused a lot of damage to Chisora’s face around both eyes, and his mouth was swollen.
Derek blamed his cut and swollen from a head collision. Wallin seemed to have caused the damage. He hit Chisora regularly enough with his straight left and stabbed to damage his face to the point where he looked like the loser of the fight afterwards.
It was not a head collision that did it to Chisora’s face. These were bumps. He cannot continue to take the shots in his next battle. If you are Chisora, you should say something about why his face looked like a Sherman tank. The use of the old Head Clash home works for fans, but there was no head button. The cut and the swelling come from the left hands that hit him.
Many fans chose 34-year-old Wallin (27-3, 15 COs) to defeat Chisora (36-13, 23 COs) based on his youth, technical capability and amateur background.
The scores were 114-112, 116-110 and 117-109.
“I tried. He’s a tough guy. Derek is 41 years old. He’s a tough guy, ‘Otto Wallin told ifl tv After his bitter defeat to Derek Chisora Saturday night in Manchester.
“I respect him a lot. I was a bit of balance (with the knockdown). He probably beat me at the same time. I am a Southpot, and sometimes your feet get tangled, and you lose balance. I don’t know why. I have to look at the band.
“He has good power. He is one of the biggest punchers I was with. I tried. It wasn’t my night. Derek fought a big fight. He is a solid fighter. I want to thank everyone for the support, ”Wallin said.
Wallin did not say what he had planned now, because this defeat was terrible because an old fighter with a low level hit him. His previous losses were against Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Losing to the guys is excusable, but not to Chisora.
