Dillian Whyte vs. Ian Lewison - October 7th 2016

[gilgamesh]

This Lewison guy is fat.

[gilgamesh]

Decent 1st round for Lewison. With that body though he surely isn't going to have stamina worth a damn. Whyte is probably pacing himself knowing Lewison will likely be pretty gassed by about Round 4 or 5.

1-0 Lewison

[gilgamesh]

Whyte ups the aggression in the 2nd and 3rd rounds and is landing good shots to the head and body on Lewison now. Lewison is already looking lethargic in there.

2-1 Whyte

[gilgamesh]

Whyte is being patient, using his jab steadily and landing it with regularity on Lewison and also the occasional quick left hooks here and there. Lewison's pace has already slowed to the point where outside of a puncher's chance he's not really in this fight anymore.

4-1 Whyte

[gilgamesh]

Still all Whyte. He's being a bit more aggressive now trying to get Lewison out of there and has controlled the last 2 rounds even more thoroughly than he'd controlled the previous 4.

6-1 Whyte

[Supremo]

Whyte vs Price could be an entertaining fight.

[gilgamesh]

Another 2 rounds for Whyte. He's really landing a lot of devastating rights to the body on Lewison. I'm surprised Lewison has taken everything he's taken from Whyte as well as he has. Lewison needs a KO to win at this point.

8-1 Whyte

[Fearful_Freddie]

Predictable. Whyte is shyte.

[gilgamesh]

Lewison's corner stops it at the conclusion of the 10th round, Lewison looks like he most likely got his nose broken there in that 10th round, and I figure that along with being so far behind on the scorecards was enough for his trainer to call it a night. Smart choice.

TKO 10 for your winner and New British Heayweight Champion Dillian Whyte

[gilgamesh]

Predictable. Whyte is shyte.

He's a decent fighter. Top 20 or so. I doubt he ever becomes a World Champion, but he's a respectable contender.

I would like to see Whyte fight a decent fighter who has had a full camp. Allen & Lewison both took the fight on short enough notice.

Top 20 just for the good round against AJ? Who is the best guy he's beaten?

If Chisora or Price are next they'd both be interesting opponents. I doubt Price would fight him though. Price seems to be going the Briggs route of fighting as many no hopers as he can until somebody just throws him a bone and gives him a payday.

Name me 20 better Heavyweights.

think Whyte does a number on Chisora if it happens .

Agreed.

Yep

Depends what Chisora shows up.

Yep

Chisora would put in a similar performance to Lewison , who despite being gutsy was soundly beaten .

The slow ,predictable but gutsy one .

As far as rankings, I think think the following should be above him, and I could list more:

T. Fury
Wlad
AJ
Povetkin
Wilder
Haye
Ortiz
Parker
Pulev
Takam
Szpilka
Jennings
Teper
Duhaupas
Miller
Browne
Chisora
Scott
Fedosov
Ruiz
H. Fury
Mansour
Breazeale
Washington

Maybe he's got more ability than some of these guys and would beat them, but who knows. He's laboring even against fat, weak, area-level opposition like Allen and Lewison, and has never beaten anyone in the top 75. I can't recall the last time a guy like that got more credit than Whyte is getting now.

But he beat Parker's leftovers faster than Parker did! Although never mind things like Chisora taking 29 seconds to halt a guy who went 4 with Whyte, or Gerber finishing off Minto before Whyte could.

[gilgamesh]

You've got a fair list and a fair point there. I actually looked and noticed I actually didn't have Whyte in my Top 20 at the moment either

He's Top 30 though surely. I'd like to see him against the likes of Fedosov and Mansour.

[crusader]

Ya, I'd like to see him in with pretty much anyone from that list. He may well be as good as a lot of people think, but to me it's not one of those cases where a guy is obviously way better than his resume.

Predictable. Whyte is shyte.

He's a decent fighter. Top 20 or so. I doubt he ever becomes a World Champion, but he's a respectable contender.

He's not "shyte", but I'm pretty sure there are atleast 20 heavyweights that should be ranked ahead of him.

Whyte is a rapidly improving fighter who would now beat Price and Chisora. Lewison is a much better fighter than many are giving him credit for he can come again but must be a lot fitter and lighter if he is to challenge for serious belts.
