Blood and Pain: Dillian Whyte Ready for Oscar Rivas, the World

“Part of being a champion, and a good fighter, is finding a way to beat all styles,” he said. “I’ve fought guys who are very quick. I’ve fought guys who are very strong, very slow. I’ve fought movers. I don’t think he’s got faster hands than Parker—and I just bullied Parker, and dealt with him. Parker is bigger than him, and more well-schooled than him, and a former world champion, and I still dealt with him. Óscar Rivas is shorter, has got quick hands and stuff, but listen: it doesn’t matter what these guys come with, the result is gonna be the same. I’m gonna bash these guys up, one by one.”

Finding a way to beat all styles implies changing tactics. When has Whyte changed tactics? More crap out of his mouth.

Dealt with Parker great Headbutted advantage for a KD which also clearly affected Parker, and then he was hanging on for dear life at the final bell. Another minute and it could have been a different result

Yeah, really dealt with him huh Dil?

Whytes just a gritty fighter isn't he

I think Whyte is a solid contender. He has improved since the Joshua loss.
But he has an over inflated self worth like so many fighters. He needs to tone it down until he clearly beats a top contender. And no he does not have a single convincing win over a top 10 fighter.

Wins a win pal. Close or not.

I didn't say otherwise
I'm just pointing out that his ego is bigger than his resume

What specifically has improved? I don't see it, other than he sometimes paces himself a bit better. He was losing to Chis when he knocked him out with the desperation left hook. Lucky for him Chis had his chin out and guards down.

He's paced himself and is more patient.
Nothing extraordinary but it is an improvement
