Whyte v Povetkin 2 - 27/3/21 - Gibraltar - Sky Sports PPV/DAZN

[TonnnnUK]

Whyte wants a 3rd fight against Povetkin. Easy money.

Did he say that after the fight? No one wants to see that! Pov needs to retire.

[imp]

Whyte vs the winner of Usyk and Joyce.

Whyte isn't bad at all but bloody ell he's not quick, a big guy though, povetkin looked really bad but that git can still stay standing after some good punches he needs to be wheeled off to the retirement home before he gets some really damage done to him he's completely shot.

[imp]

Whyte looks really unstable when missing punches.

Whyte looks really unstable when missing punches.

Whyte was just over enthusiastic trying to finish Povetkin who was wobbling in the first round from no real big shot.

When Whyte got back to his boxing and looked composed he hurt and finished off Povetkin in good style.

Whyte is a far better boxer than Wilder who is technically terrible for a former heavyweight champion.

Whyte for me is still just something of a glorified slugger. Has power to trouble anyone and always poses a danger, but I don't rate his actual boxing ability.

He could be in some intruiging fights though: Wilder, Ortiz and Ruiz could all be pretty fun.

Joyce could be interesting if not all that exciting....
Usyk & Fury outbox him.

Not interested in AJ knocking him out again.

I cannot see Usyk out boxing Whyte. Parker was exhausted from the sheer size of Whyte when they fought and Usyk would be the same.

Povetkin started wobbling all over the place, off the ropes, like he was drunk (he wasn't, was he?), at 40 seconds into rd. 1, and i didn't see Whyte hit him with anything at that point, unless it was the wind from Whyte's missed punch, tho i will allow the possibility that i missed a glancing punch that was not visible on the screen. Pov was even wobbling in his ring walk. I think something was badly wrong with him. He was not normal and healthy. If he was still sick from Covid why did they let him fight? Was there financial pressure to let the show go on, contracts with the venue, DAZN contract, tickets sold, etc?

“Something was wrong” with Alexander Povetkin in Dillian Whyte rematch"

"According to some, Alexander Povetkin was ‘staggering to the ring’ as if he’d drunk ‘several bottles of vodka’ as Dillian Whyte exacted revenge. Whyte bludgeoned the Russian in four rounds, but WBN noticed something was off with the WBC interim champion as he walked to the ring. We weren’t the only ones. Eyes glazed and looking disinterested, Povetkin was never at the races. A bit like Andy Ruiz Jr. wasn’t when he fought Anthony Joshua in his second helping. Promoter Lou DiBella was one of the more high-profile boxing figures to notice this as Whyte took control and battered Povetkin until a fourth-round finish.

DiBella said: “Povetkin seemed f’d up (even) walking into the ring, no? Looked gassed during the entrance.” Fans also gave their view as Whyte completely dominated without a proper challenge coming back to him..."

I've watched round one over and over and i still can't see Povetkin getting hit at 40 seconds into the first round when he went wobbling off the ropes. I wanted to see how he looked doing his ring walk but DAZN does not have that in their replay. Could the Vityaz man have taken a dive? No, I don't think so. I think he was ill.

If he said that, he’s a cunt. xxx

Anyone impressed with Campbell Hatton?
I thought he looks terrible.
Really showed that he's had hardly any amateur experience, there's loads of big problems with his style and I can't see him getting past British title level and I'm not even sure he can do that.
