Dillian Whyte vs Oscar Rivas- a very underrated HW fight
Tbh I can't wait to see this fight. I think Whyte is the workhorse of the HW division taking all the tough challenges. 
Re: Dillian Whyte vs Oscar Rivas- a very underrated HW fight
This is def underrated. Kudos to Whyte and his taking all comers. Rivas can take him.

Re: Dillian Whyte vs Oscar Rivas- a very underrated HW fight
I dunno. I was interested in it at first, but then I went and watched Rivas against Jennings and I wasn't that impressed with Rivas. Kind of slow and plodding, and I don't think he is a particularly big puncher despite having a decent KO ratio.
I think White will soundly outbox him and likely end up knocking him out in the mid to late rounds.
I would have preferred Whyte-Povetkin, but I get the feeling that Whyte didn't particularly fancy that.

Whyte is the favorite, no doubt but Rivas is a solid opponent. Not a soft touch.Nondescript wrote: ↑02 May 2019, 10:39 I dunno.

I agree with your take, except for povetkin. I'm long over him.Nondescript wrote: ↑02 May 2019, 10:39 I dunno.
