Joshua v Whyte, chances.

[Tarkus]

A continuation of the other thread. So how exactly sure are you about your pick?

[forestbox]

Can't look past Joshua.think Whyte will start strong then Joshua will take over and knock him out inside six.

[Mimmy]

I dont think it will go more than 3 rounds. Wouldnt be at all surprised AJ knocking him out in 1. Interesting fight this one but cant see AJ faultering, but remember Benn v Watson, the quiet man came out on top.

That winner will be AJ then as whyte has been quite vocal in the build up, it wont go 3 rounds unless AJ wants it too!

[Supremo]

If they fought 100 time Aj would win about 97 of them.

Whyte won last time

Agreed though, it looks like AJ has progressed dramatically since their amateur fight, which is only reason Whyte has the opportunity. Another quick KO, Joshua needs to be handled carefully, but also needs step up in class. Chin and stamina need testing. Hasn't taken a punch or been past 3 rounds.

97 AJ wins to follow then...

I would be surprised if Whyte made it to the fourth round.

I appreciate that Whyte got a win in the amateurs, and at the moment he is undefeated, but if he didn't talk so positively about winning the fight, then people wouldn't be making such a big deal about it. Gary Cornish didn't talk too much, everyone knew he would be flattened. The intrigue comes from Whyte saying he is going to win....just like Audley did against Haye. No one thought he would win, but he spoke so positively about winning that some started to think it might happen.

Whyte is going to be sparked within three rounds...needs a bigger step up.

It's not that long ago David Price was marching toward total world domination. With men as big as these 2 it only takes one shot to really cause a shock. We all fancy ourselves as sophisticated punch pickers but I remember reading that Ray Arcel never bet a penny on boxing, with all his knowledge he said 'anything can happen' - look at the cruiserweighta in Russia 2 days ago!

[brilo33]

hard to tell know one has hit aj in pro boxing yet

[Tarquin Tarpaulin IV]

This will be AJ's biggest test yet.

I'm having a cheeky fiver on Dillian winning in 3.........

I just feel he's Anthonys 'Bonecrusher'...

[davie]

Fight to kick off like Smith/Fielding tonight and Whyte gets a shock knockdown.

AJ recovers and takes him out inside 3 and proves a few points about his punch resistance

[Wales]

It's not that long ago David Price was marching toward total world domination!

Was he? Most people laugh when I make that comparison. Apparently everyone knew Price was a chinny muppet, nobody thought he was going anywhere. Seem to recall about 80% of people picking him against Thompson, although I'll be damned if I can find them now!

AJ will be beneficiary of an awful HW division.

[Cyclops]

Probably been brainwashed by how well he comes across in his interviews but I think Dillian is going to win now.

[palooka]

I hope for a good undercard in case the main event's a blowout.

Joshua round 1-3

[reggaereggae]

I've been watching a few Dillian Whyte vids. He's very loose and confident and sometimes unpredictable. It will only be a fight if he can take a shot. His neck looks skinny which worries me.

I do think Joshua will be a bit careful, not go for the blow out as this is his first test and there is history.

Ultimately the fight hinges on who can take a shot. If Joshua can take a punch well; i don't think Whyte has the style to beat him.

If Whyte can't take a shot then he will be stopped 1-3.

Emotionally I would like Whyte to win as I love an underdog and I'm rather ill from AJ's saccharine PR 'personality'.
