Looks like Rivas is in over his head now. No answer for Whyte's boxing.

Agree to disagree. If he is overrated then who is underrated? Just Andy Ruiz?

A good win for Whyte. He comfortably outboxed Rivas with jab and movement. He also showed a great heart after Rivas caught him. Rivas was too hesitant. He won the 1st round, but after he got bullied in the 2nd he became too cautious and was pressing without punches. I gave Rivas only three rounds: 1, 7, 9 (the 10-8 one).

Whyte deserved it. Rivas won 2-3 rounds tops, including the KD round. But he is a tough fighter, i can give him that.

Dillian Whyte looked deeply impressive tonight. I expected a much more competitive affair with Rivas.

I only had Rivas winning the first round and the ninth (x2).
Some of the rounds were close but it was Whyte’s fight.

Be really interesting to see what happens next.

The Wilder v. Ortiz match is really not appealing to me.

Love to see Deontay vs. either Fury or Whyte next

Andy Ruiz would beat him. Hell, i'd bet on Pulev to beat him. i'd favour Parker in rematch. Povetkin and Ortiz would beat him too if they're still not too old. some say he's clear #4/5, i don't think so.

Rivas was tough, but as I expected, he has pulled another "Joseph Parker" out of his hat. "Rerl tytl" challenge incoming.

This win was a really decent one.
Rivas is as dangerous as they come. Whyte controlled it from R3 to the end. The KD was a light one and Whyte came back in that round and stamped authority in the following round.

I don't know why Rivas didn't go for broke in the last round, and then the ref killed another few seconds at the end admonishing them about something or other. Whyte's jab made the difference.

Well it's another case of a chubby guy beating a guy with a bodybuilder's bod, tho not nearly as extreme as the famous one.

Now they tell me, after I wasted years trying to get the last bit of fat off my midsection!

Absolutely true, Baldomir was once 'the man's too. I will always recognize it, doesn't mean I have to think they're the best. I've been massively wrong about fat boy, might be again.
