Dereck Chisora Slapped Vitali Klitschko at the Weigh-In. Boxing!

All, Boxing, Video Stephen Douglas February 17th. 2012, 12:51pm

Vitali Klitschko faces Dereck Chisora for the WBC heavyweight title tomorrow night in Munich, Germany. Today at the weigh-in, Chisora slapped Klitschko in the face. Chisora is 15-2 and has lost two of his last three. He does have that British flag bandana that he wore over his face like a total badass, though. Klitschko is 43-2 and hasn’t lost since 2003. Despite those facts, Chisora remains confident that he will ~~get paid~~ win.

You have to love posturing like this in combat sports. Pushing, shoving and slapping at the weigh-in is a wonderful tactic to drum up interest in an event. It’s partly theatrics and partly to psych themselves up. I mean … you get to punch the dude in the face the next day. [BBC]

Klitschko ain’t throwing no punches at the weigh-in or presser; he gets paid to do that in the ring. And when they do climb in, this other chump is gonna suffer.

Somebody should slap mama Klitschko for raising to ninnies who won’t fight each other yet they’re the best two heavyweights walking the Earth. Just disgusts me.

Can’t wait till Pacquiao slaps that shit smug off the face of Mayweather. Will be betting on the fight for sure.
/Hopes that King can make right on the claim he can get the fight done.

The entire sport of boxing can get fucked. Money and Manny are both bitches as are the Klitschko’s. They have pure gold in their hands and they choose to wipe their ass with it as opposed to cashing it in.

Pac Man is gonna have to wait in line. Cotto needs to taste his victory off of Mayweather first.

yup. a show about super heroes needs super villains, think that would be common sense to include in the show. they had some great backbones to stories, and some cool “future so and so” popping up showing he’s a ninja time traveler and all that forgotten.

Fuck yes, 2 hours and 40 minutes left. I think you need to do both. Listen live and save it for later because you’ll want to listen again.

I’d love to see someone else pick it back up and try again because there really is a demand for that type of show and nothing’s there right now that’s close. A cable network would be solid as well, then they could push the envelope a bit more too.

when i was in college a bunch of the people that were on the fringe of the crowd I hung out with were what would now be defined as hipster. it was shocking and disquieting when the term was officially coined only a couple years after i graduated college.
their facebook profiles are… not good.
