Ignore the Holmes point, Master got carried away doing the Rbr I think;D overall its somewhere in between. What else would his best win be? Parker is a better name, but Whyte might not have lasted another round, guess best performance is what I meant.
Rivas absolutely had an output, he was just paying for what he threw because his timing was always the same, as Paulie kept saying. He took a lot of shots and kept throwing despite being countered for the whole fight, he was obviously in great shape and wanted it bad. Would like to see him vs Chisora or Pulev, something at that level.
You’re probably right, I don’t know as I haven’t watched the fight yet. As the ignorant one in the room I defer to those in the know.

Dont want anyone to worry about me, just a hard man gone old and soft the last 18 months, very happy and proud of David price, I will be okay but the last 12 months or so my health has been deteriorating and I’m glad I hung on took the chance and made money and now probably done
I'm glad about this, he's probably the most likeable character in the sport and its been good to have him hanging around over the last few years.

Wonder what his health issues are, the commentator's alluded to addictions after the fight. Hope he has made loads of money and can thank Eddie for that but hope he stays retired if he is retiring.

I never like to see a fighter take punch after punch it's not good for you brain I hope he packs it in leave with some brain cells.
I don't really think he has much choice but to pack it in,there isn't really anywhere for him to go, he's had a good run and its been fun to watch but it is clear that he can't step up that level, unless Eddie is happy to put him on at the bottom of the cards just fighting bums in fights with no meaning because he is a fan favourite there really isn't anything out there for him.
been taken to hospital after that one, they said it was just precautionary but hopefully it'll be a wake up call for him
Allen has sustained a broken eye socket and damage to his tounge he was pretty much outboxed Allen is limited but extremely tough but we must remember all the tough sparring with world class fighters he has done.!
Time to pack it in Eddie may like him but Allen is the guy taking the punches.

You are correct, he could not pick up the pace against Whyte and he was hurt by the right hand. Rivas was not good enough this time.

Well that'll make whyte have to wait even longer for his wbc mandatory shot now :S
Re: Whyte v Rivas - O2 Arena - July 20th

'THANKS TO GOD' Dillian Whyte: Oscar Rivas wants loss to ‘Body Snatcher’ erased from record after discovering heavyweight’s alleged failed UKAD test
Should reports that Dillian Whyte failed a drugs test be true, Oscar Rivas wants his loss to the Brit erased.
While nothing is confirmed yet, it is alleged Whyte failed a UKAD drugs test three days before beating Rivas at the O2.
Eddie Hearn has seemingly denied this claim by insisting both UKAD and VADA rigorously tested both men before the clash, and they both passed.
Whyte defeated Rivas via unanimous decision despite being knocked down in the ninth round, handing the Colombian heavyweight the first defeat of his career, while it also saw Whyte become the mandatory challenger to Deontay Wilder’s WBC heavyweight title and that’s a position Rivas now wants in addition to his record returned.
“The only thing to do is wait for what the International Commission of Boxing say because these are things that are really very anti-sporting,” Rivas told
https://talksport.com/wp-content/upl...60&quality=100
“I think yes, if they want we will try and fight for the same title. Thanks to God I’ll continue unbeaten.
“The truth is this defeat caused me a bit of distress but the support of the people pushes me on, we have to go forward.”
Wilder has also had his say on the news. In a lengthy and expletive-laden statement he wrote: “Now here you have a fighter that has been recently reported of taking PED’s (Performance Enhancements Drugs).
“In fact it was said he had over more than 1 substance in his body. This fighter has been caught before using PED’s so this is his second attempt.
“This s*** has to stop… The bleeding has to stop somewhere, we just had a fighter to f****** die in the ring because of taking too many blows to the head and you have idiots like Dillian Whyte who want to CHEAT just to come up in his career because he’s not good enough to do it alone,” Wilder added, referring to the death of boxer Maxim Dadashev on Tuesday morning from brain injuries.
He continued: “Oscar Rivas was his opponent that Dillian fought recently on drugs in which Oscar dropped this drug user and almost beat him, so Mr Whyte all that and the s*** half way worked you still got put on your ass!!! I’d get my money back!!!
“He’s been claiming to want to fight me but the question is, if you’re doping with a non champion just imagine what you will try to use if you had the chance to fight me? (Overdose).
“Him and his promoter Eddie Hearn gave the WBC Boxing & Mauricio Sulaiman hell while all along this MF has been cheating, smh then have the audacity to try and snitch on his countryman and accuse him of doing drugs when he himself is doing it as well.
“On top of that his promoter tried his best to cover this up before Whyte’s recent fight. Somebody come and look at this s***… I get criticised about saying things like ‘Ima kill you’ and mean it but without any substance whatsoever in my body but here you have so many fighters, the likes of Dillian Whyte that flood their body with PED’s just to advance to the next level, while committing an attempt to murder but want to speak against PED users smh, GTFOH.
“Lmao… boxing’s a place where you can hate it but love it all at the same damn time. Donkey Of The Year!!!”
