Dumb move from Cameron accepting the payoff - unless it was massive.

If Whittaker wins first four, which is likely, in a 12 rounder, Liam only has to win 87.5% of the remaining rounds to win and 75% of the remaining rounds not to lose.

In a 10 rounder if Whittaker wins the first four, Cameron has to win 100% of the remaining rounds to win and 83.3% not to lose.
Whitaker's winning this one, don't matter about the distance.

Do you not reckon Whitaker might be fitter for this rematch and could do what he was expected to last time?

I was as pissed off as anyone the way Whitaker bailed out with that WWE farce a few months back, but surely to god he’s going to look better this weekend. Otherwise his career is pretty much over already.

I'm sure he will be fitter, but it's all about being forced to work at a pace you don't want.

If Whittaker can control the fight on the outside he will win

If he has to work too hard to keep Cameron off, he could well come apart.

I think Quittie still has to be favorite here.
To win he really only has to work on his cardio a bit and avoid a war.
Be interesting what game plan Andy Lee has, but basically all Ben has to do is stay on the outside and peck away.
Not like it's 12 rounds or anything. :roll:

Can.t see why it was 12 anyway its not a title fight. According to Shalom it was an expensive mistake but was sorted weeks ago .
I was in no doubt Liam would win this rematch eady .not so sure now Ben has a lot to prove and a lot more to.lose . He just might come with a new found determination .

This one does interest me

Would love to see Cameron do it, but reckon Whittaker will box clever so to speak and grind it out on points

Not writing Cameron off though, and backing him all the way :box:

Bens coming to run a marathon I'd say. He will probably take the first 3-4 rounds and look good doing it. But if Cameron is still there and starting to touch him... which he likely will... it gets interesting.

I like everything about the way Whittaker is carrying himself in this rematch.

He’s not making excuses or getting involved in rows about the ending of the first fight. Not looking for tune ups first.

He’s just got a demeanour about him that says I’m going to do my talking in the ring.

I think he’ll know the ending of the first fight was embarrassing & he can’t rewrite history but he can go out there & put on a display that will make people think the first fight was just an error on his part & I think he’ll do that.

Whilst I don't have anything against either fighter, I think it's probably for the best that Whittaker wins which he will now it's 10 rounds. He'll win 6-4.

I like Ben Shalom and hope this show does okay for him.

I can definitely see Whittaker coming in more focused and beating Cameron this time but after the way he carried on through his pro career, dancing, belittling opponents etc, he looks a right bell end thats been proper humbled, maybe we'll see him do a 180 but the streets won't forget or forgive as easy, if he hadn't refused to do 12 id have more confidence in him but he's fragile

I can't believe how invested in this I've got.
I watched the first one live and it was average as far as entertaining I guess.
I've even got a tenner on it and I almost never bet on anything at this level. :lol:

I thought that the way he carried himself on The Gloves Are Off was embarrassing for a grown man. He's 27 and he's behaving like a naughty teenager who won't answer any questions. I thought he looked nervous and unsure of himself.

Hiring Andy Lee was a smart move but Andy can't teach him heart. It could be a long, career ruining night for brash Ben.

Clarke up circa 10lbs on his first fight against Wardley. Why? He's not in bad shape compared with some but why is being just shy of 20 stone going to help him?
