Wilder vs Whyte

Post by Boxing Writer »

I think it's a logical fight for both of them providing Whyte beats Browne later this month.

Fight against Whyte will give Wilder: 1) biggest purse in his career so far; 2) good expusure in UK(which is good for his future showdown with Joshua)/

I think Wilder will try to make a statement and KO Whyte quicker than AJ did. And I think he has all the tools to do that.

I'm also surprised why he prefered to fight Ortiz for 2 mil instead of Whyte who offered up to 5 mil.

He's convinced he deserves 50/50 against Joshua who earns more per fight than Wilder has in his Championship career.

Him v Whyte would be great.

Anyone know the attendance from last night?

p.s. Whyte beating Browne is no guarantee

~14-15K I heard.

On-topic: Wilder's so, uh, wild that almost anyone can win rounds against him/land solid (Molina, Szpilka, Duhaupas etc etc). But based on last night's showing I don't think Whyte hits hard enough to finish him if he does get him going, & Wilder's athleticism's so good & he carries that power so late I can't see Whyte getting through twelve without going face-down.

Wilder would also have a shitload of height/reach on Whyte, & I think Whyte found Helenius hard to get to (another tall guy).

Wasn't mentioned. Likely around 3,000.. that's around what he did vs. Shabbs. The Theatre holds less than 5,000.
