Looks like this will be a good boxing event on Sunday.
Yeah but here’s the thing, ok it wasn’t meant to be 12 rounds, but so what? Why kick up such a big fuss?
On one hand this guy wants us to think he is elite or moving towards elite.
But on the other hand he wants 10 rounders rather than the championship distance.
Now you will turn around and say “who says he’s bothered?” Well the very fact that there is such a load of bollocks about it is proof of that.
Whittaker was blowing after 6 rounds in the last fight when he was being pressured.
Now Whittaker will probably win. But if he wants people to believe he’s on the road to somewhere special , that is a fucking minimum requirement.
