I think number 1 in Bold is probably true , which reflects badly on Whyte. Fuck me, at the level he is perceived to be , minimum requirement is that he should be able to go 12 rounds with a supposedly inferior opponent. I don't dislike Whyte , but I was very disappointed with his fitness , timing and general punch / combination selection on Saturday.
I don't agree with point number 2 in Bold. how can he have more promise, when he isn't able to throw punches? The only potential Allen has got , is the potential to get seriously hurt if he has to take that many punches regularly without giving anything back.
Allen is a likeable guy, and has a good sense of humour and is also a good sport, but unless there is a "Rocky when Apollo Creed trained him" change, I can't see him going very far.
It would be nice if he proves me wrong though.
