The bookies have Whyte a 4-1 favorite. Why? Must be a lot of drunks in the USSK betting on him. Good chance for you to get good odds by betting on Browne - who I believe will win by KO - if you like dealing with bookies, which I don't.

I bet DW by ko. I never really rated Browne and think Whyte will prove to be a level above.

Well, you were right and i was wrong. What was Browne doing all these months training with Wlad Klitschko and all for the biggest fight of his career, and then showing up fat around the middle with no more fight plan than a Golden Glove sub novice? I saw that the moment the fight started.
More importantly, though, i hope he's OK.

I don't think Browne's body fat was much to do with it. He's done well for a pro that learned to box so late in his life but he was overmatched against a technically superior fighter who is much younger, quicker and on the up & up. Joshua came too soon for Whyte - i think Whyte could certainly beat AJ in a rematch. Whyte is a better boxer with a much better gas tank. It's just the power of AJ that is the great equalizer.

Whyte vs Del was a great fight where both men showed simply awesome punch output for HW, not to mention grit & heart.

Whyte has a superior skillset to AJ now by a visible margin. AJ is a live opponent vs anyone with that power though so I'd never write him off but Whyte has improved enough that i believe he would win. Especially if he can drag the fight late, fill Joshuas arms with lactic acid, he'd be in a world of trouble with the stamina Whyte has.

whyte i thought got beaten by del and he was badly hurt and going through hell. pulev and that turk did better jobs on chisore then whyte did. whyte then last fight looked average vs seriously faded helenius and was again hurt when the fin actually threw early on. duhaupas and i think chisora from years back outperformed whyte vs helenius.

has he suddenly gotten a bunch better? um, maybe, but i think he had a walking punch bag in front of him, and that will flatter.

to me its crazy talk to favour him over aj. a lot of fighters would bust browne up like that. chagaev, old fat and with heptatis, could barely beat old oquendo in 2014, yet was then way ahead and had nearly stopped browne 2 years ago, and browne has just gotten older and inactive since.

whyte is solid top 10 but not close to elite. can beat joe parkers but dont see him beating joshuas
