Hi, Jurgen. Great to be on the board. I'm very much looking forward to the big heavyweight clash next weekend. Thanks for the welcome.
Thanks for posting. Whyte looks to be in the best shape he has been in for a very long time, since before he appeared on the TV.
whyte will go out fighting his heart out thats a given. He will swing until he cant no more.. thats whyte. That left hook of his is dangerous if it lands
I expect Fury to win however Whytes body punching and left hook could cause Fury problems and give him plenty to think about.
He’s a big strong rough tough rugged heavyweight with a money shot left hook, he can give anyone a tough run for there money on his night. Fury isn’t daft he knows he has to be switched on for this
Whyte is nowhere near as good as Wilder or Wlad but he's still a heavy guy with decent skills, a powerful left hook, experience and a lot of determination. That combination of attributes gives him a chance against any heavyweight. Good chance against Fury? No, but a chance.
Whyte will give it a good go - he’s basically made the very most of his ability, because ultimately he isn’t very good. If whatever tactic he employs isn’t working he’ll try and turn it into a street brawl and use his physical strength (he’s a lump in fairness). People may disagree but he’s been really fortunate to get where he has. Whyte could have lost in Chisora 1, was 20 seconds away from being iced by Parker and he has been ironed out by Povetkin. Yet he has headlined 6 (yes six) PPVs in the UK, most of which as the named fighter, and he is viewed by some as an avoided man. Shows the value of Sky and their promotional tools because they really got behind him for a couple of years in order to sell those PPVs. A lot of which Whyte still holds as part of his ‘brand’. He’s rough and rugged with long arms. But he’s slow of hand, foot and can be very off balanced. I don’t think he has significant power apart from the left hook which he throws with force. For me all of this comes down to Fury - if he’s switched on and ready he’ll box his ears of and maybe get a stoppage. If he doesn’t then anything can happen. I really don’t trust Fury, I always think he’s one fighter away from being in dreadful shape or walking in with the wrong mentality. It really is in his hands. I’d put the likes of Ruiz, Dubois, Joyce etc all above Whyte.
