Dillian Whyte v Lucas Browne - 24/3/18 - O2 London

[TitoFan]

Wilder may as well fight Whyte, as he's unlikely to get a shot at AJ anyway. Been reading that AJ will turn down a 50-50 split with Wilder if and when they have a unification fight. He'll also insist the fight be held in the UK because, in the words of AJ, he's the much bigger draw. I like both fighters (AJ and Wilder), but it seems AJ's closing the door on a possible fight down the road before negotiations even begin. I wonder why that is.

[Fenster]

Wilder turned down $4 million to face Whyte, bear in mind he got $2 million against Ortiz, but even taking 10% cut against Joshua will beat his career best high payday.

Lots of people rubbishing the win because of Brownes shape, incredible how little boxing most fans watch if it doesn't take place in America. Browne was no different to he always is.

Incidentally it was again the left hook from Whyte that popped him. No right hand Whyte (upstairs at least)

My problem with Browne is that I hadn't seen him since before his ban so I admittedly couldn't really remember how he looked before that.

I wasn't talking about anyone here mate, I know most people here have watched them fight before.

Was listening to a silly fans phone-in on youtube, full of Americans saying Whyte is garbage and doesn't "deserve" Wilder, he needs to beat an American and stop facing UK bums (yeah.. Australia/UK/Finland all the same to them).

Oh and Joshua is a straight right ducker pussy, every caller agreed on that.

Wilder is going the way of Spinks, career high pay day and retires after he loses.

Well its pretty evident that Lucas Browne was shot.
Whatever he had in the past had long gone , fat slow and no technique , many novice HWs would have defeated him tonight.
Whyte beat what was in front of him , but lets be honest he didn't beat much.

AJ is playing hard ball with those demands but so is Wilder with his 50%. They will compromise in the end because AJ wants to unify and Wilder wants to cash out as he is likely to lose.

C'mon. They're both heavyweight champions. The promotion when the fight's made will be huge... lots of angles. One's British... the other from the U.S. You can argue which one's the bigger draw and you'd probably right by picking AJ, simply because Americans have been slow to warm up to Wilder. But all that would change with the prospect of a unification fight. Why should Wilder settle for a lesser cut? It's a unification fight, meaning they both have titles. If they made the fight right now, I'd probably pick AJ.... but I wouldn't be surprised to see Wilder win.

If AJ really wants the fight, he'll be reasonable in his demands. Saying he's got plenty of other good fights to make is a copout, and not what the fans want to hear.

Nothing would give me more pleasure than Wilder getting even 25% of £100 million as an example. That will butt hurt Eddie. More pressure will be on AJ to unify and I am sure they will come to an agreement eventually.

Wilder could easily beat Whyte, that would make the unification even more attractive.

You Brits are so soft!!!
Wouldn't even show a replay of the KO... Why broadcast the fight at all?

[imp]

We need to ask the question...would a 52 year old Ortiz beat a 28 year old Whyte?

Wilder beat Ortiz and knocked him out.. but Wilder has weak boxing skills and got hurt in the process.

Wilder vs Whyte would be interesting and might benefit Whyte to come in at the same weight or a few pounds lighter.

Yea. With HBO you would have seen that ko replay at least six times from six different angles before the end of the telecast. I was looking forward to it. I think women are involved somehow. lololol....
