I wasn't impressed at all to be honest mate. He done a well the first couple of rounds, tucking up and letting Lewison blow off some steam but after that he could of done a lot more. Lewison was so inactive that whyte could of put it on him more and pushed for a stoppage a lot earlier. There was nothing in that performance that makes me want to watch another one of his fightshandsofstone wrote:Good call from Lewison's corner he was starting to look busted up and was eating jabs in that 10th ,Whyte was pretty impressive, he was a lot more purposeful than he was in the Allen fight,he worked the body well throughout, he's actually quite a calm boxer and not wild like the Joshua fight or his attitude outside the ring suggests,Lewison was dangerous but his conditioning was poor which is a shame as he could be a force at domestic level
Not a classic but well deserved from Whyte he worked a lot harder and earned it as opposed to Lewison who tried to steal it

I hope you're right mate, could be Hearn's poker-face though, best salesman on earthlefty wrote:Hearn looking very happy. I reckon it's either Haye or Klitschko with the latter being for multiple belts.

Re: Ricky Burns vs Kiryl Relikh & undercard. RBR.
See I'm not convinced Whyte will make it to European level I think he's a solid domestic level fighter who was in with a tough,dangerous but limited opponent and he only lost the 1st round on my card,I was impressed with his bodywork although his headshots were struggling to land,if it was Joshua pre world title then I might have been underwhelmed but for Whyte I thought it was a good showingsmiling assassin wrote:I wasn't impressed at all to be honest mate.

Re: Ricky Burns vs Kiryl Relikh & undercard. RBR.
Relikh looks at ease, not overawed. It's a good sign (for him). Does he really belong at this class though?

How do you see a Whyte fight going against Chisora or Price???handsofstone wrote:See I'm not convinced Whyte will make it to European level I think he's a solid domestic level fighter who was in with a tough,dangerous but limited opponent and he only lost the 1st round on my card,I was impressed with his bodywork although his headshots were struggling to land,if it was Joshua pre world title then I might have been underwhelmed but for Whyte I thought it was a good showingsmiling assassin wrote:I wasn't impressed at all to be honest mate.

Whyte takes Price out in the first round and aginst Chisora it's a close decision but he wins.

Re: Ricky Burns vs Kiryl Relikh & undercard. RBR.
yeah I agree with you that his bodywork is impressive mate but everything else seems to me as mediocre. We are on the same page mate thinking that he won't get past European levelhandsofstone wrote:See I'm not convinced Whyte will make it to European level I think he's a solid domestic level fighter who was in with a tough,dangerous but limited opponent and he only lost the 1st round on my card,I was impressed with his bodywork although his headshots were struggling to land,if it was Joshua pre world title then I might have been underwhelmed but for Whyte I thought it was a good showingsmiling assassin wrote:I wasn't impressed at all to be honest mate.

Re: Ricky Burns vs Kiryl Relikh & undercard. RBR.
What a classless bunch this crowd are. Booing boxers after last weeks events is a disgrace. Shouts of "up the Ra" and booing the ref because he's from England. Embarrassing.

Great atmosphere.
Re: Ricky Burns vs Kiryl Relikh & undercard. RBR.
Relikh looks decent early doors.
Re: Ricky Burns vs Kiryl Relikh & undercard. RBR.
1-0 Relikh (though watching on a choppy stream)
