Dillian Whyte vs. Alexander Povetkin - 22 August 2020

[mickey1975]

He now looks like this..

Has there been any testing in his long overseas training camp?

No.

[Frostieballs]

For fooks sake the poster on Instagram featured anthony Joshua in the prime position... if I was white I’d be furious man

Yeah that’s crazy and really disrespectful.

[gregregegg]

Anyone know how boxrec get the reach information and if it’s from a source that check it independently or just honesty system? Cause in this fight Whyte has like a 3 inch reach advantage, but if I was going to guess I would of thought he would have an extra 6+ inches of reach.

Yeah that’s crazy and really disrespectful.

Probably just desperate more than anything. Let’s face it, the card is headlined by a couple of drug cheats, one of whom is over 40, with the chief support being a 2min round affair. There are then only three more fights all of whom include guys who have never even headlined a regular Sky show and are probably all around or below British title level.

£20 for that? Buy this trash and you’d be as well emailing Sky directly and asking them to start increasing the cost of PPV’s even further.

Joshua is just dropped in there as click bait

I can see the business logic, but knowing fighters I’d be surprised if that didn’t upset Whyte.... and he already feels undervalued.

Well he shouldn’t - by all accounts he’s getting an absolute mint for fighting on PPV against a bunch of also rans. Having previously been banned for cheating.

Whyte has disproportionately earned well above his ability and that is largely because of the same hype and nonsense mindset that would come from someone sticking Joshua’s mug in the middle of his fight poster. Whyte can’t cry about that now

Yeh, the more people that buy this, the more that goes in his pocket, so if he thinks having AJ’s face on a poster will get a casual interested then why not.

Mind you the thought of watching Bellew try to verbally deepthroat Joshua might put a few off. It’s stands to be a night of unbareable ball licking at this rate

In my experience, that isn’t how fighters think.

[Ricky]

Whyte will KO this old bum.

[oogiebe]

Whyte will KO this old bum.

I'm tending to agree, but Pov is no bum.

[londonskylines]

Got Whyte to win and both men hitting the deck @ 9/1. I expect Whyte to stop Povetkin in the second half, but there's great value in Povetkin.

£10 ppv max though. Bakole / Kuzmin made it more attractive, imo.

Somewhere between rounds 6 and 8 is my guess.

Least he knows his place once and for all now. They can’t sell him. He needs AJ.

[Ruthless-RKO]

He doesn’t look that much better tbh

[margaret thatcher]

Not like that's the official fight poster, I mean they put out tons of different versions of stuff in the run up to fights, big deal

[DrDuke]

Prime Povetkin would KO Whyte. This time it will be close and judges will help Dillian a bit.

FACT

Whyte will get rocked..
---------------------------

Maybe, he will even get dropped..

But will he be stopped?

------------

Whyte is known for getting rocked in his fights, it's not a Whyte fight if he doesn't get a little gassed or rocked.

True. All his last fights since Browne were with some flaws. If I remember correctly, Browne did just nothing in that bout, but after that Whyte didn't have perfect performances. Yet Browne was just awful then. Povetkin will have a lot of moments.

Browne was fuckn abysmal. Almost as bad as Charles Martin in that he turned up to lose and barely threw a punch.

If Povetkin is anywhere near his best it should be close. I think Whyte might stop him Here though. Think he’s getting him at the right time even though he’s coming off some decent results.
