I was surprised to see Rivas is generally 7/2 (10 bucks returns 45). Whyte has mixed in far better company, has the form and momentum, however, Rivas was a top amateur, totally unexposed and looks like a proper fit heavyweight not a fat lumbering sloth.

It's slight odds against not going the distance too. The styles guarantee fierce exchanges, Whyte can iron anyone with that left hook (barring Oliver McCall, of course).
