I’d fancy Povetkin to do a repeat job.
Pressure all on Dillian.
Not many win a rematch after being sparked clean out. History tells you that

Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
Joshua v Pulev
Fury v Wilder
Whyte v Povetkin
That's some run up to Xmas if these do happen in December![]()
Whyte goes down hard against Povetkin the ref doesn't count the full 10. Fury goes down just as hard against Wilder but the ref counts the full 10 and Fury get up to get a draw.
I can't stand the refs who waves fights off without counting the full 10. Makes my blood boil.
Yes. Whyte would not have beaten the count anyway. But that's not the point. From 1sec to 5sec he was in the exact same comatosed state as Fury.
There needs to be mandatory rule that you always give the full count of ten.
Whyte cannot win the rematch. He's been sparked out cold and you cant forget that shit, it haunts you. If he has any chance at all he should just try to blast him out in the 1st round or maybe fight at a distance and keep him away with a long jab, counter him rushing in, move to the side.
I see Povetkin landing another crusher in about the 5th again, maybe not a one punch nuke, but a combo, another KO.
Whyte has had a lot of wars and taken many punches.
Maybe his punch resistance is waning, we will have to wait and see.
Anyone else a bit sick of these rematch clauses in any semi important bout?
Especially when these guys fight once a year or so. And it generally is always the case of when the guy that was supposed to win losses. Why didn't Parker get a rematch against Whyte for instance? He had him in all sorts of trouble at the end buy lost on the cards, rightly so. Maybe there was a rematch clause they wasn't taken up, I don't know, but my mind says that's unlikely.
It'll never happen because it is kind of a safety net for a promoter to get their guy back in to make up for the loss, but they should probably only be allowed to exercise a rematch clause if the fight was a close fought contest. As in either both guys went down at some point in the fight (maybe one got the stoppage eventually but was in trouble earlier), or the case of Whyte-Pasrker above warrented a rematch or if it the fight is a close decision.
