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

[HomicideHenry]

By the way definitely not a soft punch let alone a dive considering the man's tooth went flying out of his head after that uppercut.

[thereverend]

Whyte was set up so well, Fury took that little feint back then stepped forward right as Whyte did. Beautiful short crisp uppercut, Fury's first of the fight. Absolutely devastating.

This fight has to raise Wilder's stock, correct? A lot of people have argued that Wilder was crap and if he fought a real fighter like Whyte he'd get his ass kicked. I disagree and this fight proves it.

must've raised otto wallin's stock big too right. cut fury worse than anyone, hurt him, won 3-4 rounds and never close to being stopped like whyte or wilder

dudes all winning without even fighting

I think Otto has dined out on that fight enough already, its time for him to make his own way now, particularly after his very average last fight

[margaret thatcher]

why fight your own fights when you can just have someone else raise your stock though

with every good fury performance, the legends of otto and wilder grow

[Ruthless-RKO]

It wasn’t a tooth, although looks like it.

Just spit.

Indeed , although I've never been a fan of that sort of thinking.

[margaret thatcher]

ya neither have i, too much today is done by proxy. 2 fighters who should face each other instead square off by comparing results vs common opponents. and people give out hypothetical wins based on a fighter doing better vs one guy than someone else did, etc

you gotta actually fight the fights

[Enlightened-One]

I successfully predicted that Tyson Fury would be lighter for the Dillian Whyte bout than his previous outing against Deontay Wilder (my guess for Tyson’s official weight only missed the mark by 5¼ lbs).

My pre-fight assertion about Fury’s ability to make Whyte’s boxing skills appear primitive by comparison to his own, also came true.

I also claimed that Fury would make his win over Whyte look easy if he was in better shape and displayed superior skills than he did for the third Wilder bout, which of course came to fruition.

That said, I was shocked about the following things:

• Dillian Whyte’s futile attempt to compete as a southpaw during the first round
• Dillian Whyte’s attempts to outbox a master boxer
• How quickly Dillian Whyte unravelled against Fury
• Tyson Fury’s one-punch KO

I hate to say this, since Dillian Whyte is one of my favourite fighters, but he’s 34 years of age, has only won one fight within the last 2½ years and appears to be past-his-prime.

He’s a had lot of tough back-to-back fights against top-ten world-rated fighters and appears to be a shop-worn spent force.

I hope he receives a $5m pay-out from his arbitration against the WBC and then hangs up his gloves for good.

If you take a look at many of the main or secondary world heavyweight titleholders during the last 35 years, it seems rather unfortunate that Dillian Whyte failed to capture the title, because in his prime, he was better than at least 90% of these guys:

• Trevor Bryan
• Mahmoud Charr
• Joseph Parker
• Lucas Browne
• Charles Martin
• Ruslan Chagaev
• Bermane Stiverne
• David Haye
• Nikolai Valuev
• Samuel Peter
• Sultan Ibragimov
• Oleg Maskaev
• Shannon Briggs
• Siarhei Liakhovich
• Hasim Rahman
• Lamon Brewster
• John Ruiz
• Herbie Hide
• Henry Akinwande
• Axel Schulz
• Bruce Seldon
• Michael Bentt
• Tommy Morrison
• Ray Mercer
• Francesco Damiani
• Tony Tucker

Could Dillian Whyte be one of the greatest heavyweight fighters to have never won a world title? I think so.

[Enlightened-One]

Dillian Whyte's fixed payday of $7.4m (£5.5m) only equates to 18% of the $41m total purse pot, with the remaining 82% awarded to Tyson Fury.

[IRONFIST]

As predicted, easy win for Fury, he didn't even need to get out of first gear, no danger whatsoever from Whyte.

Let's get the real fight on with Usyk after he beats Joshua again

[Tony1244]

Well that's moronic, you win some some lose some

Thanks. I had a few drinks, but calmed down after a bit, and my cooler head prevailed.

My bet was Hearns-Leonard 2 would not got the distance. I was almost right on several occasion.

That sounds fair considering I could think of a handful of fighters that I actually would have paid to watch. Whyte wasn't one of them.

[Enlightened-One]

Dillian Whyte claims Tyson Fury's push after the uppercut, which ended the fight, was illegal (due to hitting his head on the canvas scrambling his senses, rather than the shot itself):

Maybe Whyte should take up chess.

[caldo2025]

You all came at me because I questioned the effectiveness of THE PUNCH and even Whyte agrees with me by saying that it WASN’T the punch that did the damage but the chest pass Fury did with Whyte’s body just after landing the punch.

It’s not often when a poster can win arguments here so cleanly. So please, get in the apology line in an orderly fashion and no pushing. You all were wrong so man the F up and give me what I deserve. Apology time fellas. EO, you’re first up. Make it come from the heart.

[caldo2025]

Whyte could be the worst actor in history. He barely got hit with that. “The Perfect Punch”? Give me a break. The push down was worse than the punch.

That my friends, was a first class dive. Not claiming Fury had anything to do with it but I can guarantee you that punch was just not enough to do what it did. Sad. Whyte never wanted to bring that belt home. He looked uncoordinated all night like he’s never thrown a left hand in his life. What a pathetic F’ng performance. One of the worst I’ve ever seen on a big stage like this. Just a flounder

Just goes to show you can watch boxing for years and still be clueless, Current Scene man

Apology please.

[caldo2025]

ya, no punch lands at all here , whyte's head just magically swiveled and his face twisted into putty by the gust of air

Ya, none of the heavyweights ever took a flimsy punch like that! Lololol. Go back and watch Bowe and Holyfield, any round you want. There were about 390 of these punches.

You pussy Europeans are something else

If Europeans are soooo pussy then why don't you go and beat them and prove yourself etc?

And you also owe an apology to me sir.

I know that you’re an old dude Caldo, so perhaps mental capacity issues have caused your recent penchant to submit bizarrely illogical irrational out-of-character comments to the forum.

Either that, or Caldo’s account has been hacked and is being abused by a troll.

I expect an apology by days end, EO. Right from his own lips, the punch wasn’t anything. Right from Whyte’s own lips. You can’t win an argument this clearly so let’s see it.

The videos I’ve seen of the knockdown don’t appear to show Whyte’s head hitting the canvas with any real force whatsoever. And even if it did, Tyson didn't put any real leverage behind his gentle shove that minimally contributed to Dillian's fall.



If you can furnish the forum with a video clearly proving that it was Whyte’s head hitting the canvas that scrambled his senses (caused by Tyson putting his full force into pushing Dillian) rather than Fury’s uppercut, then I’m more than willing to offer a sincere apology.

At this moment in time, Whyte’s complaints about the nature of the stoppage superficially appear to be a rather weak excuse to save face.

[The Docker]

Remember Ali v Liston 2, when one US pussy collapses from an arm punch from another US pussy. Well the Fury punch landed on Whyte is stratospherically more debilitating than the pussy US version.

[Thomastearns]

it's a little push, only a snowflake would care much about it

I saw the push as Fury hitting Whyte in the chest with both the knuckle part of the gloves of both fists.

I'm sorry your clueless and a conspiracy theorist, tell me why you think Whyte would throw the fight??

THE point, Mr. ICANTSAYSORRY, is that the recipient of the phantom punch that you All Swore was so incredibly vicious clearly tells you all how it was not. Look if you can’t believe it coming from the actual mouth that got hit in the mouth then you all are more pathetic than even I even thought.

Whyte clearly states that the punch didn’t do any damage. You guys called me crazy and old and dumb…I don’t exactly argue of the latter but that’s not the point. You couldn’t be proven incorrect any more thoroughly than this so it’s time to show everyone that you aren’t the virgin basement dwelling pop tart for dinner eating pj’s wearing scooter rider that you are. Be a man.

Troll alert^. You are far duller than our other trolls.
