    On 8th Dec card. Decent domestic dust up.

    Big step up for Whyte.

    I know many think McDermott has been robbed a few times but on paper his biggest win is between Gammer/Reid/Larry O.

    BUT

    McDermott has a massive edge in experience and this is a huge step up from his previous opponents who were probably below area level in all honesty. Interesting fight.

    Whyte isn't anything special, if Mcdermott has anything left he'll win

    Think Whyte will win, only problem his one of his best shots are his wide body shots, can't see these bothering Fat John with the amount of fat he has, but we will see how Dillian copes with someone coming to him for a fight, but I think that will bring out the best of him and I think he will excel as he seems to love a fight.

    Good test for Whyte, we'll see where hes at with his fight and the comparisons between him Price and Fury will start. He seems like a good prospect but he is being hyped up to be something more. Out of curiosity does anybody know Whyte's height i cant find it anywhere? 6,4, 6,5?

    I would guess around maybe 6,2 to 6,4

    Whyte is improving with every fight & I think he'll be a very good HW one day.

    Big John is a tough test at this stage of his career but I think its perfectly timed & Whyte will win by stoppage.

    Whyte will win this easily, McDermott has nothing to offer.

    Step in the right direction for Dillian, he's fought journeymen upto this point, Mcdermott is average as they come so if Whyte has anything about him he should come through it comfortably.
