By the end of October, we'll have seen Joshua-Usyk, Fury-Wilder III, Whyte-Wallin, Ajagba-Sanchez ... Also, Kownacki-Helenius II. And Joyce, Yoka, Hrgovic, Hunter and Parker should all fight one more time this fall. Hopefully, they all pick someone better than their last opponents ... like each other. (If any of them choose Dereck Chisora, they need to be run out. Chisora is the heavyweight version of Gabe Rosado. He's meaningless filler. Time for everyone to fight meaningful fights.) Rivas is moving down to fight Jennings at "Bridgerweight" for a belt there ... so Rivas is out. Things at heavyweight should shuffle around a bit when the dust settles.
I like this, both have shown flashes of a high level and also put out some unimpressive moments. This is an unexpectedly good fight that will show who needs the next title shot. My fondness for Whyte has grown just for him taking this on when I'm sure he could have fought a bum.
I'll be rooting for Wallin. I imagine Whyte will likely be on PEDs since the fight is in the UK, and they'll probably let him get away with it. The deck is stacked against Wallin in the UK. Whyte won't lose on the cards no matter how poorly he fights. And, when Whyte throws a few punches, the ref - if it's someone dodgy like Ian John-Lewis - will wave his hands for a British stoppage.
Only way to win and then like after Whyte vs Povetkin I rematch clause most likely might appear. Wallin isn't 41 years 6 months old post covid 228 lbs uncle's ghost. I will root for Whyte via UD to win this one. Mismatchroom.
Now that’s exciting, especially after the Whyte-Arreola reports. Whoever made the negotiations difficult for that one, I wanna send them a thank you note. War Wallin!
Wallin points decision, just needs to beat Whyte to the jab and he is golden. Whyte is overrated This is all a ruse so he can claim he did better than Fury. Wallin just lacks raw power for a big heavyweight, Whyte wont respect it and try to walk through him. When Wallin slows mid fight Whyte will go after him and start swinging
This is why i didnt complain when Fury fought Wallin instead of an over the hill washed up old man like Povetkin or Pulev New talent deserve their shot. Few Americans hiding in the shadows to make a name for themselves also
