Exactly.
I'll admit, I was a bit disappointed by what I saw of Whyte yesterday, he couldn't even simply hit his opponend in the first 5 rounds.
Now I know his opponend continually was in survival mode, avoiding all contact except clinching, but still.
You should watch more of his fights. Hes actually not that good. As the other posters said, he only fights good agsinst Joshua where he got knocked out.

You have to question his temperament as well as his discipline, on a couple of occasions last night he looked on the verge of losing his temper (the forearm in the face being the worst example)

I think he may get a Euro shot... But no way will he be world class. And that may put Anthony Bruno's win in perspective

He looked pretty good in this fight against a guy who went the distance against Wach, Duhaupas, Chisora, Kuzmin and gave some tough moments to Joseph Parker - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AOiSLzuFhw

Cut? he's nearly round! with or without peds he could definitely improve his overall physique with harder work and diet I'm convinced of that
