He’s just not good enough for the very top level. Hopefully getting knocked out by a 40 year old, albeit a very good one, will get him the f**k off ppv. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I’d actually forgotten until tonight, that this was PPV. Went to stick on the telly, before realising. It got streamed, as there was absolutely no chance Eddie Hearn was getting my hard earned £20 for that card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 There was a Guardian interview with Whyte the other day where he said he had to collect plastic bottles to eat as a kid in Jamaica. I'd never call anyone who came through shit like that a knob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Should be wilder vs povetkin and Joshua vs Fury but we will get rematches instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 20 minutes ago, MONKMAN said: That’s the danger of fighting Povetkin. Apart from Wilder, he’s the only other fighter in the top 10 with 1 punch KO power. Exactly this and hence my gut call for Povetkin just before the start of the fight. You just never know, plus those Eastern European guys are just made of tougher stuff. Whyte should be thanking the stars he’s counting that Povetkin is the age he is and not a younger version. 9 minutes ago, MONKMAN said: There’s plenty of people in this world who’ve hard a lot harder upbringing that Dillian Whyte, yet manage to retain a bit of human decency about them.

Cowshed Chris Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Interested to hear why folk think Whyte is a knob. Aside from the carry-on with Chisora (which I blame Chisora for in the main) I've always found him quite likeable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mylothedog Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I wouldn't say he was a knob. I found him quite likeable too whenever I see him in any non-boxing related capacity. What does annoy me about him though are those bloody annoying howls he does. [emoji191]Interested to hear why folk think Whyte is a knob.

He’s spent the last three years giving it the big “I am” or being a big whining crybaby when (for me at least) he’s never been all that convincing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, he's taken on plenty of good opponents and has shown up well. Even last night he was in complete control before being caught with a shot.That punch would have knocked out any boxer (admittedly he was open to the uppercut since the first bell) and I think that he's a difficult fight for any of the top guys. His interviews on IFL TV and the other YouTube channels are always entertaining also, comes across well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Povetkin is shot but was previously miles better than Whyte has ever been. It's no surprise they had a shootout and could easily go the other way next time. Povetkin doesnt appear to have much punch resistance left. Whyte is shit but he can grind out results. Their level is putting on fun fights and staying out of title business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spurs of boxing Boxing is a results business, so you have to credit Whyte for his run of the last few years but skills wise he is a terrible fighter and just like Wilder would always get unpicked by top guys. It's just that there are so few of those at heavy that it hadnt really happened since AJ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
