    I think so. Way better than Whyte v Pulev. They should be able to sell out the O2 with the right card.

    AJ protection limited in full swing again.

    I can just envision Hearn begging Whyte.

    Another PPV for Dullian Whyte v Fat Old Pudding for the World Bugs Bunny Title - the world has gone mad.

    It’s a great fight. It’s not a stand alone PPV but I suppose we’re getting a “stacked card” with it.

    I just don’t know who wins at the minute. Prime Ortiz destroys Whyte but that prime is a long time ago. What’s he got left? Can Whyte handle his power? I don’t know. There’s a good few questions in this and if Whyte does win nobody can complain about AJ - Whyte II or Wilder - Whyte.

    Joshua's next two fights are going to be Wilder and povetkin. Not sure that's the case here. Winner you'd have thought will fight for titles in 2019.

    This is just a competitive fight which is never PPV regardless of undercard.

    If Whyte throws plenty early I think he wins. I don't think Ortiz can keep up of whyte forces the tempo and makes Ortiz work every round.

    That would be the game plan if I was in the corner. Try and tire Ortiz out early but needs to avoid getting caught too.

    Brilliant fight.
    I think Wilder will probably have smashed a lot of the resistance out of Ortiz as he really took some stick in that fight, so I will take Whyte to stop him late on.

    If Eddie secures this as a final Eliminator for a straight shot at Wilder with no BS then it’s brillaint promoting.

    Very good fight this, at the moment I would have to favour Ortiz to get the win, lets not forget even at his age he still won more rounds than he lost against Wilder & only needed a few more seconds at the end of round 7 to get him out of there. Credit to Whyte though, he doesn't give a ****, will literally fight anyone.

    Whyte is on a nice little winning streak, his confidence is really high right now.

    This is the time to make the fight, Ortiz is old and as long as there's drug testing involved then Whyte should win.

    Eddie played a nice game of chess here. Underbid for the Pulev fight so his guy was left with a choice: fight Ortiz in the UK for decent money or Pulev on the road for pennies. Forced Whyte into the fight he wanted and probably isn't paying top $$$.
