Anthony Joshua vs. Dillian Whyte II | DAZN PPV - OFF

[cormack]

Nobody other than Eddie Hearn and Dillian Whyte’s bank manager is interested in AJ v Whyte

I will watch it happily

And common sense comes into play here - if he is fighting wilder in saudi later this year then why take anything more risky .
Whyte will have a go for sure but realistically I dont see him hurting joshua this time around .

[maverick23]

I quite like the fight. Whyte will go for it and I think that’s what AJ needs.

It’s one where if it was AJ’s December fight then I wouldn’t be too happy but it’s fine for a fight if he’s fighting 3 times this year.

[daz74]

this is a good British heavyweight fight. I happily watched Sprott Williams Skelton fight each other loads of times, so i have no problem with this

Will he go for it? He’s looked incapable of it for a while.

Whyte has been on the slide since Povetkin beat him. Yes, he avenge that loss but Fury humiliated him and Franklin made him look ordinary as well.

McGirt is trying to tech Whyte how to box. We saw that against Franklin.

Yeah - I think Whyte will. I can’t see him trying to outbox AJ.

Whyte went for it in both Povetkin fights whilst I think Fury beat him mentally pre fight. Against Franklin he was passive but seemed to go for it in the final few rounds. I can’t see Whyte waiting to pull the trigger here.

You can only go for it in a fight if the fella is there, he couldn't Fury with a fistful of salt

[Frostieballs]

I’ll defo watch this. It could be really competitive if AJ has regressed as much as many feel.

It would be interesting, but of course it depends how much Whyte has gone back too

True that mate.

If he hasn't forgotten to throw an uppercut, I would still fancy AJ, but outside of the big fights and the low profile fighters, it's def one of the better ones out there.

[Redback Rasta]

It will be interesting to see how McGirt prepares Whyte for this one and what his instructions will be.

I think if Whyte allows Joshua to settle into the fight it will only go one way - Joshua's. Whyte doesn't need to come out swinging from the fences but he does need to assert himself, dictate things early and force Joshua to further doubt himself. Whyte did give Joshua some early grief when they fought in 2015 but they have both gone backwards since then.

If Whyte happens to win it is virtually over for Joshua. The Saudis have already said if any of the 4 they are planning on hosting in December lose before-hand they won't be considered for December.

[coneye]

Give ma a good brawler , i would try to teach better punching technique and footwork to enhance him , woul,net bother trying to get him to box technicly you would be taking away his natural attributes , Whtye is and never was gonna be a Ali ,, too many trainers try to teach how they WERE

I don't think you can teach someone as limited as Whyte a whole lot at his age. At best and it's a stretch I'd work on him moving his head, not coming in straight lines with his chin up and to double jab with a hook off the jab. Learning those alone and implementing them in the ring would be unlikely at his age.

He didn’t show his face pre fight!

I agree, and Whyte at times looked like a fish out of water trying to implement McGirt's changes against Franklin.

Which I thought was a good move at the time but then Tyson got him being all pally pally in the couple of days before the fight.

I completely agree, too many ingrained habits by this stage.

If I were a trainer, I'd be looking to exploit some of Joshua's bad habits (as per Steward with McCall in the Lewis fight).

Whyte has always been bang average, he's just a big lump with a dig - not a lot else - the fact he was even a contender in the current division, is because the division is filled with big lumps who aren't in particularly good shape, and who can't really fight at any kind of pace in the main.

Joshua has better fundamentals than Whyte, and I expect that should be enough to carry him through the rematch - Whyte doesn't look to have much ambition left, and looks increasingly fragile too, and his stamina doesn't seem up to much either - I expect this will be his cash out fight now.

The current heavyweight division is extremely depressing, so few fighters under 30 in the top 50, the same fighters at the top getting the opportunities over and over.

[Coco]

Whyte needs to carry is back hand underneath his chin

[oogiebe]

Whyte needs to carry is back hand underneath his chin

Seriously.

[Redback Rasta]

Whyte is a sucker for an uppercut.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Whyte is a sucker for an uppercut.

And a good push

[coneye]

Whyte needs to carry is back hand underneath his chin

Seriously.

Cosidering Upercuts tend to find him so easily , its probably not a bad idea .

[The Gratest]

He should incorporate the Dod Foreman cross armed defence.
