Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte | BT PPV - 23 April 2022

[margaret thatcher]

This is a mismatch Whyte doesn't even have a punchers chance when not even Wilder could keep him down

Unless they add 2 competitive European level fights to the undercard I'll wait for the highlights the day after

doesnt always work out that way tbf, duhaupas never went down vs wilder but then got brutally ktfo and definitely kept down not long after by povetkin. some journeyman stopped stiverene, yet stiv then went the distance in the first wilder fight. stiverne himself stopped and dropped arreola hard, yet wilder simply got an accumulation corner retirement over arreola, with arreola standing up to many rounds of punishment

fury took a right hand on the chin from klit and was fine, yet was down fairly hard from a guy who was light hitting even at cruiser. it's funny these things

that said, i dont expect whyte to sleep fury, though if fury's off his game and not taking it seriously, and whyte comes on form, it could be a tough night. if whyte can open that 47 stitch cut it could give him a huge boost

If whyte were to land the perfect shot, while fury is punching fury is taking a nap. I dont think this will happen, but to suggest whyte dosent have a punchers chance is a madness.
your opinion is based on fury taking wilders other worldly power, I dont see it, the reason wilder has Highlight KOs is because he thows highlight KO shots (and loses plenty of rounds as a result)... No doubt he is a big puncher, mabey the biggest, but he isnt a god...

-Wilder won his title going 12 with stivern..
-Then molina went 9 and im fairly sure he was acting to try win by DQ (clear back of head shot),
- Duhapas went 11, Took wilders striat right, then 11 more clean full wind up shots and stayed standing (rightfully waved)
-Spilka got flatlined... but he made it 9 rounds. Been stopped horrifically much quicker multiple times
-Is washington stopped standing in 5 rounds special? (p.s reff butchered this one)
- Brutaly KO'd a Retired stivern dont know how that fight happened.
-10 rounds to stop an old ortiz, its good but depends on how you rate ortiz.
-Distance with fury
-BREAZEAL is the shot of his carrer, landed the perfect punch, knocked a solid chin, breazeals shit but this is a KO of the year...
-7 rounds with even older ortiz
-got stopped
-got stopped.

I know you can do this with any resume so not to completly discredit wilders championship years,, but my point is sure wilder has great power, but its become mythical because he KO''d 30 cans befor he started taking real fights.... Bit of a Berlanga effect.

Jones beat Zora Folley and Bob Foster in his 2 fights before fighting Clay. He gave Clay a good fight. It was a close fight but I thought Clay narrowly won it from memory.

Jones and John McDermott aren’t comparable.

Agree. One looks like an elite athlete and the other looks like a darts player.

Has Mickey forgotten his password?

No?

The only top tier fight he took was Fury coming off a long road to recovery from drug and kebab addiction, and he lost that first fight by decision by anyone who saw it.
It was a dreadful reign for Wilder.
And a successful matchmaking string of nearly 40 wins from his team, they just underestimated Fury.

Whyte will be a lot more physical than Wilder and not as easily manhandled. I think he will go for it, rough Fury up from the start and target his body. Fury should win but I don’t think Whyte will make it easy.

I don't think he can rough Fury up as Tyson will grab, hold and lean on Whyte if he tries any roughhouse tactics.

I get what you are saying as I don't rate Wilder or his accomplishments, he's been the best managed fighter in the 20 years I've been watching boxing. The thing is he caught Fury with a punch that would've knocked out anyone else in the first fight but not only did Fury get up he got up and won the rest of the round. I don't think Whyte has that power and Fury knows Whyte's best punch is the left hook so he'll be ready for it

I get what you're saying but for the life of me I can't see Whyte troubling Fury in any way, he can't outbox him out fight him out punch him. Whyte has been hurt in every fight he's been in for a long time and been dropped plenty and knocked out cold. I get that Fury has also been hurt but he always finds a way to win

I agree.
Even though the Anderson /Hammer fight would have been as negative as heck, I would still have watched it because Jared Anderson is of the next generation heavies, and I'm following his journey.
Now that is gone, there is literally nothing listed on the schedule.
If I wanted to follow Tommy Fury's journey, I would download the Instagram app

I too was interested in seeing Anderson fight, that's a disappointing loss. Does Frank have anyone else who might be on the card? Maybe Joe Joyce

[Ruthless-RKO]

Whyte won't be able to lean on Fury.. Like he did with other opponents.

[KiwiRider]

True, and I doubt Fury will be leaning on Whyte, unless he can keep him well tied up. Helenius tried that with Whyte and got ripped to the body when he couldn't contain him.

[Grilling Machine]

If I had more faith in Whyte's chin I'd really fancy him to win, because despite Fury's relative lack of power, if he hurts Whyte I think he'll stop him soon after. On size as much as anything.

Could also be a borefest, but I will be slightly surprised if it goes 12. It's plausible they settle into a you-first rhythm, with Fury winning on reach.

But then Whyte's stronger and harder to push around than Wilder, and you'd hope he's more ambition than late-career Wlad. The Fury of Chis II was the best he's been IMO, whereas I think Del improved over the following years. I'd take that mobile version of Fury to beat Whyte, but if he comes in heavy it's far from a crazy idea that Whyte might catch him, and so I've taken a wild punt on Whyte by stoppage.

If he believes in himself and his chin holds, that is, at the same time as Fury isn't peak. All things I've no clue about until it happens.

No worries, coneye, I can take a joke has much has the next man.

[Dioufy]

4 weeks away and no undercard fights confirmed.

I’m getting worried. I’m going and at this rate I’ll be entering Wembley at 10pm.

They’ll be in the ring by 10.

Wembley still have the curfew don’t they?

[Dioufy]

God knows.

[jimmystone]

For the sake of those going I genuinely hope they sort the undercard out a bit and that I am wrong about the main event. To me Dillian is overrated as a boxer because he talks like a Yardie and is brave. He's done nothing in his career for me to give him a slither of a chance against Fury.

Freddie might be a bit much for him yet.
Baby steps mate, baby steps

[Manchester Hitman]

Surely Parker would be up for a quick, easy payday against Hammer on the undercard..the geezer lives here and is in shape and Andy Lee etc will be in place as well.

[Twinkle Toes]

There's no money for anything approaching a half decent undercard. It's all been snaffled up already.

[Ruthless-RKO]

FW should be announcing the PPV price soon.

Will be £24.95 no doubt .

Lee has been in New Zealand with Sonny Bill.
