Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte 2022 - Discussion and polll

It certainly was billed as such. I suppose I never really searched for an official statement from the WBC or anything but it was definitely a huge part of the build up.

 

I've gone knock-out. Not because I think it'll be easy, but because I think Whyte will go down trying not to lose on points.

 

Fury takes him light, gets shockingly caught and KO’d in the 3rd by a left hook after missing a sloppy right

 

This might be another opponent who Fury can’t get his blood up for.

At 33 years old with the way he’s abused his body in the past Fury’s physical abilities are probably already in decline. He can’t afford to have anymore fat camps. If he shows up overweight again I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes an upset loss.

 

Whyte pays for all the crap he's talked (and for jerking Otto Wallin around).

 

Fury is a bad match up for Whyte. May be the worst possible match. Even Fury on his worst day probably would beat Whyte.

 

Whyte's punch resistance, I think, has been on the wane since he faced Joshua. His chin appeared to me incredible in that, with the amount of clean shots he was taking. His chin has looked comparatively pathetic since then and although I agree that he is better than Chisora (considerably so) he will probably be knocked out in the first half of the bout, if Fury really wants to get him out of there quickly.

 

Knockout/Tko by round 8

 

Fury would play with him for 7 or 8 rounds before stopping a gassed Whyte.

 

Going to see a big difference in skill levels here. Fury is getting better and better under Sugarhill and Dillion to me is not really that good.

 

It's still amazing that Fury is being thrown out there like he's an unbeatable KO monster. Yes he beat Wilder twice but Wilder would have been beaten by a LOT of top heavyweights. That's why he never fought any of them haha. Same with Fury. And that's also why Fury is not trying to fight Whyte right now.

 

Thats just not accurate though, Wilder would NOT get beaten by a 'LOT' of top heavyweights currently. He was literally unbeaten before he met Fury ffs..... Wilder would 100% sleep Whyte and AJ on current form. Look at the Whyte match vs Chisora ffs.... He had a war with the guy and was close to getting stopped. Chisora barely landed a glove on Fury in the last fight.

Like him or not, pretenting that Fury isn't the best in the division 'because reasons' is just dumb at this point. He is clearly the best and I predict he beats Whyte within 7 rounds as long as he is up for it.
