    I dunno I think Whyte’s got this. I prefer Brown as a guy...but I think Dillian by points or late stoppage in a exhausting sloppy HW brawl that ends in untidy HW ugliness.

    The kinda HW fight I hate.

    Alas, I hope that this is good as I think it's reasonably well matched ( not a mismatch anyway ), but I think it'll be a scruffy points win for Whyte with not a whole lot of action, save some occasional sloppy pockets of 'exchanges'. Let's hope I'm wrong.

    To be honest most of the guys Browne fought Whyte could probably knock out. Just journeymen/old shot boxers.

    Browne strikes me as a guy clearly not truly dedicated to boxing. I think Whyte struck a nerve in the face off mentioning Browne turns down fights.

    I think Whyte isn't anything special but probably not as bad as most of the users on here think. I think he had a shoulder operation which may have hindered him a bit in his career.

    Can brown get a fair decision in UK? Will the referee be fair, how about the boxing commission? I am not sure who will win this fight as I don't have much respect for either..............

    eddie said to ifl that there will be around 8,000 and he said a month ago there will be more in there than there was for okolie chamberlain which was around 6-7000.

    Whyte is really unlikable, isn't he? I'd have more time for him if he discovered cardio and actually came into fight night in a decent condition. He's a young man as well. Conditioning is shocking. A revolting specimen of a boxer.

    i dont know about browne, he has been fighting a long time and seems fairly dedicated. but watching some of his training from australia, looks like him cycling to the beach having a bit of a swim then cycling home.
    fit yes, but hardly the kind of intensity a professional needs. i may be totally wrong, and in any event i imagine hes far better conditioned than whyte.

    I wouldn’t question his conditioning tbh. To get off the floor against Chagaev and then produce the KO demonstrates decent conditioning for me.

    The main problem Browne is going to have is probably cuts. Bug bear of so many white heavies through the ages.

    Let’s just hope it’s not a Thomas-Allen II incident, would put a proper downer on my weekend. Whyte doesn’t really go in head first and boxes from range so I can’t see it being too much of an issue.

    I think his conditioning is arguable. Browne has never fought at a pace which the Whyte and Chisora fight or the Whyte and Joshua fight was fought at.

    I don't really question Browne's heart or conditioning, though. I question his desire to actually refine his craft to make himself a better boxer. He always comes across to me in interviews like boxing is some side job to him rather than him being fully dedicated. He was training from home for awhile.

    He's also been offered fights in the past which he refused for whatever reason. He's had fights scheduled/rumored in europe/eurasia which never came to fruition. One notably against Sergey Kuzmin.

    If Browne can keep the pressure up then he can win. I don't think he can. He'll be dangerous late on if Whyte is tired. Maybe he'll come in ''beastmode'' and wipe out Whyte early. I can't see it, though.

    Is Brown too fat to fight? How can they allow him to fight so badly out of shape? He makes Butterbeat look skinny!
