As Malik Scott prepares for his heavyweight showdown with Luis Ortiz, we asked former opponent Dereck Chisora to assess the American's ring skills.
The Philadelphia man is just days away from a potentially career-changing fight against 'King Kong' Ortiz this Saturday night in Monte Carlo, live on Sky Sports, with the winner moving up the rankings towards a world title shot.
Chisora battled to a sixth-round stoppage win over Scott three years ago and has analysed the strengths and weakness of his old foe...
Does Scott prepare well for his fights?
Malik Scott is training hard. I have never seen Malik train so hard, he's lost some weight and he's looking good.
Does Malik have good hand speed?
He's got fast hands. Great fast hands, amazing.
Will he throw a lot of combinations?
Yes, he hits you with the uppercut, left hook, uppercut, left hook, straight right hand. He uses those fast hands.
What is his best punch?
His uppercut.
What is Scott's chin like?
It was okay. I hope he can take Ortiz's punches, because Ortiz is going to hit him to the body, come through the middle.
I'm going to be watching the fight.
How hard does he punch?
Not hard, because he didn't knock me out!
What is he like outside the ring?
He's a cool guy. Best guy ever. He won't be intimidated by Ortiz.
What is your fight prediction?
That guy [Ortiz] is a nightmare, man. He's like the mini Mike Tyson southpaw. How do you deal with that? I would like Malik Scott to win it.
I think Ortiz wins by knockout. Malik will have a great start and then Ortiz wins by knockout.
Watch Luis Ortiz v Malik Scott on the Monte Carlo card, including Martin Murray, Jamie McDonnell and Stephen Smith, from 7pm, Saturday, live on Sky Sports 2.
