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!
Ya us fat guys are living large right now...pun intended! We feel unbeatable,

Oh man when Kownacki becomes champ you guys will be completely out of control!

Agree to disagree. If he is overrated then who is underrated? Just Andy Ruiz?
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.
He just convincingly beat a guy who has beat Ruiz, so I'm not so sure.

You would have probably picked Szpilka to beat Whyte :lol:

It was an excellent performance by Whyte against a tough mofo that a lot of the top guys would be in no rush to take on. Dill continues to improve. His boxing was very impressive but the knockdown is a reminder that he can be caught and hurt. As a Whyte fan that vulnerability stops me relaxing even while he's bossing the rounds 2 through 8.

Well done Dill. Now can you restrict future opponents while awaiting your title shot to those you would start as an overwhelming favourite to beat? (some hopes :doh: )
