Maybe Whyte hopes to land a left hook. He saw that Wallin was able to land left hand with 50 percent connect percentage. Usyk would exploit this and land a lot.
Helenius stunned Whyte early in that fight and went into sparring mode after the 2nd round, showed poor tank and heart but going by his last two stoppages Helenius has improved a lot in all areas and would give Whyte a very hard night now. I think he could trouble Fury also.
Not a chance. Egg Head knows himself this is a step to far for him, he will try but deep down he knows this is his finale and will **** off smiling, it wouldn't surprise me if he goes in 3....
Fury is invulnerable to body shots and to use an intelligent body assault against Fury using straights is not maintainable. Whyte uses more energy throwing a handful of straights to the body than he does whiffing haymakers. by round 2 or 3 Fury will be picking him off and it will be do or die time. Fury is just too sexy. I'm not biased.
Whyte likes to wing his overhand right exactly like Chisora. Funny if Fury switched southpaw, he was southpaw for a large chunk of his sparring with Whyte also. Pick him apart with a jab. Will be weird to see Fury bring some slickness & lateral movement back, it wasn't needed for Wilder.
After Klitschko and Wilder, Chisora is Fury's best name. Also Parker has achieved a lot more than say any of Wilder's opponents. Sure, I expect Fury to win, but Whyte's resume looks blooming brilliant for a first time title challenger in the last 20 years of HW boxing.
I'm not so confident about ''Kronk'' come forward and exchange Fury. If it was the more cautious style, I think it would be more routine. But now, If Fury thinks he's a KO specialist and wants to exchange and get a highlight reel number, prove something, he could get caught. Whyte has enough power to hurt him so if Fury is reckless like he is nowadays, he could come unstuck. Absolutely wouldn't surprise me if Whyte got the upset due to Fury's new approach and trainer. Fury can also win being very aggressive, and is probably still favoured to, but I think that would give Whyte a decent chance of winning too.
Nope. He doesn’t have the chin, can’t cut the ring off to save his life, has terrible balance and footwork when he’s forced to come forward, windmills and telegraphes his punches when tries punching upwards. That’s why he looks that bad against taller fighters, even against shot to **** Mariusz Wach he managed to make it competitive. The only way this fight would get interesting is if Fury comes in 280lbs+ and fights on the frontfood.
