Fans were not impressed by Otto Wallin’s performance as he suffered a one-sided loss to Derek Chisora in Manchester.
Chisora would go into ‘The Last Dance’ with high emotions as he would compete on British soil for the final time in his career.
Looking to build on his incredible performance against Joe Joyce in 2024, many hailed Wallin to be a difficult fighter for Chisora to deal with.
However, Chisora gave one of the greatest performances of his career aged 41 as he had a dominant victory over the Swedish fighter.
Fans not impressed by Otto Wallin performance versus Derek Chisora
Despite suffering a significant cut above his eye halfway through the bout, Chisora was able to dominate Wallin from start to finish in the 12-round battle.
Pushing on the front foot for the majority of the fight, Wallin was barely given a moment to breathe by ‘War’, who once again showed his spirit in a heartfelt performance.
A slugfest in round eight would be followed by a big knockdown from the British fighter as Wallin was sent stumbling to the canvas. The Swedish fighter would then hit the canvas for a second time in the very final seconds of the fight but was ultimately saved by the bell.
Many fans gave credit to Chisora online for his unanimous decision win, with one person writing. “Legend. My favorite boxer. If there’s any man I’d follow into battle, it’s him.” Meanwhile, another said, “My god, what a performance.”
Although fans gave credit to the hometown hero, many were also critical of Otto’s performance, who was often passive against Chisora.
One fan on X wrote, “Otto is horrible at boxing what am I watching.” Other fans described the performance by Wallin as a “Disgrace,” “Pathetic,” and “Embarrassing.”
