Derek Chisora vs. Otto Wallin: Full video highlights

The Derek Chisora vs. Otto Wallin full video highlights are here, capturing a bout that lived up to expectations, although it took a few rounds to truly find its stride as a main event. Chisora entered the bout with much to prove. Much of his recent years were spent dismissing retirement calls from others.

It was Chisora's 49th fight, the penultimate one before his mythical 50th bout, after which he will retire. But what of his fight with Wallin? How did he beat the towering technician that so many thought would trouble him?

The Derek Chisora vs. Otto Wallin headliner more than delivered. The first few rounds were slower than expected: defined by the three-time world title challenger applying relentless pressure against a toothless Wallin. While Chisora sought to close the distance and bully Wallin on the inside.

However, his rangy foe proved difficult to land clean on, at least first. Nevertheless, Chisora's output and pressure clearly earned him several rounds, with Wallin seeming at a loss as to what to do to slow Chisora's momentum. While there were flashes of his boxing technique, Wallin spent most of his time on the retreat.

Chisora, though, would not be denied the chance to style on his opponent in front of his English faithful. He continued to storm into range, blasting Wallin to the body and finding openings for overhand rights. Eventually, Wallin's defense faltered, and Chisora started landing his desired shots.
