Re-watching the highlights of their pro fight, it all makes sense to me. AJ gained confidence as a pro, very accurate for a guy with big arms. He can counter or lead.
While Whyte as a pro never gained balance, still throws haymakers he threw as an amateur, allowed AJ to mix it up, I mean day and night in terms of how much AJ progressed from ams to pro, while Whyte seemed to take whatever style he had as a rookie into the pros.
The kind of matches I was hoping to see!
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
