Whitaker looking like he wants a quick KO. Not sure he can crack this guy early, looks cagey.

I think all Ben is learning at this level are bad habits.

Looks like it’s taking its toll on Arenyeka after three rounds. He clearly doesn’t mind a scrap but this is hard work for him.

A bit more success for Arenyeka in the 4th, although it’s was pretty much due to Whitaker offering him more opportunities.

Ben reminds me a bit of Bradley Pryce. Without big power he will struggle with his style.

Probably talking out my arse but I keep getting flashes of old Sugarboy Malinga the night he awkwardly went with come forward pressure vs Richie Woodall.

Pryce is a blast from the past. Pryce I did like, he battled bulimia for pretty much his entire career, no idea how he won CW title with that illness as it is utterly crippling. He was a good boxer.

Whittaker is a dick, just asking to be butted and elbowed tbh.

Arenyeka may well be near enough impossible to hurt in this fight, but Whitaker could really do with a highlight moment here. It’s been too repetitive, even with his style.

This type of style will bore the pants off of you if you don't carry a bit of pop.

Never mind Ben Whitaker, Tyson Fury is the real Master of the Drunken Style.

Pretty much flawless defence from Whitaker in the last round. Almost got his highlight moment at the end there.
