I know the thread was created before the fight was actually announced, but wow! What a thread for a fight. Over 2k posts. Dating back even before the purse bid was won.

Imagine going back through and seeing some comments, how peoples opinions may have changed etc.

Will post an RBR thread later on around 5pm.

PPV begins at 6pm.

Thanks for your efforts, mate. In all seriousness, forums are more or less dead but people like you keep them going for those of us who don't want to follow the more modern social media trends.

I echo this. Thanks Ruthless.

What makes you think that? He looks in fantastic shape for him and is bang on weight. I thought he looked in poor nick for Wilder 3.

I just think he looked a bit flabby around the waist. I can't work Fury out Mick.

He will always look like that. He did in the first place. After fluctuating hugely he's going to need surgery to get rid of the handles.

Im pretty sure I heard Bunce just on radio saying a week ago Whyte was 7-1, but “somethings changed” and he’s now 2-1…..

I know he talks a load of shite, but seriously…

Whyte knocks out Fury, Gypsy John is crestfallen, makes a scene, has to be ushered away, makes a complete tit of himself, Whyte is new champ for 3 days before pissing hot and being stripped


Inshallah

He’s got a strange body shape for a fighter. Seemingly has very skinny legs compared to the size of his upper half. I don’t remember noticing it before so makes me think Tyson is planning a Chisora 2 type performance.

“I’m willing to put my house on it, I’m willing to put my house on Dillian Whyte knocking Tyson Fury out.

“Look at your faces in the studio! Tyson is my mate and I know he’s listening – Tyson, you’re going to get knocked out.

“That’s the only way he [Whyte] can win the fight.”

I think that’s probably what’s going to happen. Fury might start resembling Enzo Maccarinelli, a good on top fighter whose punch resistance has sadly evaporated. I’m kind of hoping Fury makes it the distance as that’s my best Whyte bet. I’ve got Whyte wins, Whyte points and the draw covered.

Enzo was knocked out in his fourth fight! And another seven times! Are you really comparing the two? I'm sure you lot are on a wind up! A bloke who's just got up four times against the hardest puncher in the world is now the new Enzo.

Never seen a worse comparison tbh. It is polecat tho, he talks some shite.

It would be great if Whyte was to win but I can't see it happening.

And me

Got a small bet in Tyson by decision at 3-1 Betfair to cover the cost of the ppv in case it's a snoozer.

However I am excited for the fight generally and Dillian does deserve his shot. I hope he's more aggressive than ever!

Thirded, good point jimmy

Now seeing the weight in. I like a lighter fury I think he will box more than I thought I think it will be plant feet big 1 2 move when misses he hold and spoil and jab win the early rds. But I think tyson will leave some spite on his shots and hurt whyte I think 9rd ko. If I was whyte I would left fury be on the front and look to catch him with a straight right that's his big shot or left hook. I think let tyson go early in the rds then get active in late bit Of Rd. Big ask for whyte tonight but he has gritt and power so he has chance

Ruthless is a bell but he’s a good bell.
Get my drift?

I appreciate Ruthless’s work, even though I skip through 95% of his posts

To be fair, the initial reason I signed up to Boxrec was because of reasons like Ruthless' posts. I wanted to find all the boxing news in one place. I skip a lot but he's as good of a source as any reporter these days

Big up Ruthless for sure

What odds did you get for that… might lump on

I've gone for Fury on points but I do give Whyte a good chance of an upset though. I don't believe Fury carries good enough power to end it early which gives Whyte more opportunity to pull something out of the bag. That said, if Whyte's wild and expends his energy hellbent on a kayo then I could see him maybe being stopped late on.
