Dillian Whyte vs. Joseph Parker - 28 July 2018

[Redback Rasta]

AJ says Whyte by KO.
Not my prediction, but the guy has faced both of them.
If AJ couldn't even knock Parker down, let alone out, how does he expect a much slower moving Whyte to achieve it?

Joshua has been hanging around Eddie too long.

Yeah, I did sorta figure puppetry at work. Mind you, it's a fair distance to work AJ's mouth. Does Eddie have the reach?

Influence is portable.

Eddie must be panicking that this one isn’t selling.

Why else would whyte have given a ridiculous interview desperately trying to cultivate a bad boy image in which he recalls being shot, holing up in a hotel room so that his mum “the only person I’m afraid of” didn’t find out, treating the wound with alcohol and pulling the bullet out with pliers. On another occasion having been stabbed he stitches up the wound himself.

All of it made up nonsense lifted straight from the scenes of his or Eddie s favourite gangster films

It was very random, can't see it doing well at all as a ppv, where I work most people will fork out for AJ's fights even if they aren't big boxing fans, don't think anyone is buying this one.

It's selling very well here Roy.
Joe has been on the local telly a bit, and I'm watching him and his dad on a fishing show tonight.
It will not sell quite as well as the AJ fight here, but won't be too far off. At $50 a pop, it will most likely raise over a million of your British squids...

Did Whyte run in and push Parker’s dad into the river? Missed opportunity for promoting the fight if not. They may as well go full WWE on this one, as there’s not much interest over here.

[ILikeBeer]

Streaming it, I think.

Any idea what time the Whyte vs Parker ring-walk is?

Yes.

Jim Ross found the attack to be heinous.

Brandon Cook vs Sam Eggington is off.

It’s been replaced by Nick Webb vs Dave Allen.

Talk about messing fighters around....

Contact Sam with a week or so notice, he was probably just getting in the zone/looking forward to the payday and now dropped again.

This cards a joke

[handsofstone]

Never a PPV but no point whinging we all know the crack, still its a great match up, Whyte's in the form of his life, KO'd Browne cold and looked good in the process, fair play to Parker taking a dangerous fight right after Joshua where he just never turned up and was comfortably outboxed no thanks to the ref

Styilstically this could be a bit of a boxing match, in other words a snoozer, Parker's looked flat as fook since stepping up to world level, his quick hands could give Whyte something to think about but I think Whyte might be a bit more busier, he's not as flat as he used to be

Whyte's confidence will be sky high and he's never been short of belief anyway, I can see Parker losing similarly as to how he lost to Joshua

[Stuarty]

This card is fuckin AIDS! Still no opponent announced for Buatsi! They're not doing a very good job with Buatsi at all!

Shocking for a PPV, one of the worst ever.

Eggington sustained an injury in sparring hence having to come off the card.

[ScottDetonator]

We are here again with a PPV card that isn't PPV. As Hands says, no good moaning is it but still...

Not buying this one. 20 notes could be spent on a lot better than a couple of shitty fights. Not that I'm hard up, but the undercard doesn't do it for me. Dave Allen on a weeks notice? Chisora v Takam? Katie Taylor again.

Getting taken for mugs. All the fights will be available at some point online within the week, if you know where to look. Ill do that with this main event.

I think it will be a steady 12 round affair as well tbh.

If you know where to look you can watch it without paying. At the end of the day when they put on cards like this and try to extort money from boxing fans, I have no problems watching it without paying.

And if any solicitors are on here lurking, I could be talking about watching it in a bar without paying

[tony1234]

Can't see many PPV buys on what is scheduled to be the hottest weekend of the year, far too many better things to do than waste the cash on this crap.

It's barely worthy of a normal SKY Sports show let alone a PPV, just Eddie mugging people off

Yeah, not having a go at Eggington specifically, it’s just a poor card overall which is in no way PPV worthy.

[Deserter]

I really hope this PPV flops badly, just so Hearn is forced to reappraise quite how much he can take the p*ss. Doesn't impact me directly as I'm not in the UK, but it's just the brazen behaviour of trying to justify this one as PPV-worthy that winds me up.

[KiwiRider]

On the positive side, I am looking forward to the main event.
It is a career defining fight. Whoever loses takes a large step backwards into pretty much a gatekeeper role.
Whoever wins is on the path to a massive payday down the line.
I think AJ will beat Povitkin, so the winner of Parker/Whyte will definitively be the #3 HW in the world. #1 is still to be determined.

Construction Parker could knock down Whyte's garden wall with a sledgehammer in reply.

Or he could round-up all the wheelie bins in the area and dump them on Dillian's lawn: parkin' robbish.

Buatsi's highly marketable, too. I like him, and business should be good for him at this point.

[Gnome]

How good is Webb? Does Allen have a good chance in this?

[jlh]

Allen is way out of shape and was eating Chinese takeaway the other night. Nice fight for Webb to gain some publicity hitting a punch bag for 10 rounds.
