Was Itauma-Whyte a dive?

Did you see how Dillian looked when he got up? What the KD looked like? That was no dive. That was a shot fighter who got his ass whooped. No conspiracy theory needed.

 

OP has about two brain cells to rub together, surprised he could press the thread button.

 

I managed to decipher this gibberish btw:
"the guy ff on you tube was the only one on you tube to predict it"
ff is short for Fight Film, who's a boxing conspiracy theorist on YouTube who says every fighter who isn't Eastern European or who he dislikes has fixed fights. He used to go by Precise Presenter. He's a moron, isn't knowledgeable at all on boxing and does pretend film studies where he doesn't engage in discussing technique at all and instead just pushes his agenda of fights being fixed or certain fighters being bums.

 

Whyte was really hurt and soft on his legs after the knockdown .

You have to look on another recent fight when you want to see a really unmotivated fighter waiting stationary to be knocked down and then going completely unhurt and many millions richer to this corner.

 

He's a raging conspiracy theorist and absolute nutter. I've watched a lot of his videos and he really should not be listened to. He is intensely bitter and remarkably ignorant about boxing. He even has a second channel dedicated to far-right conspiracy theories and getting angry about veganism. Please, please do not listen to him, he does not know what he is talking about.

 

Whyte fell like a walrus, without any desire or ability to resist Itauma...

 

Get the Hell off this site. So sick of the "dive" and "Fixed" people after every fight.

 

Whyte has always had poor balance, moreso when he gets backed up.

His age and lack of activity just compounded it. He is a shot fighter..

He can maybe hang with the slower more clumsy fighters and get some more mileage out of his career but anyone fast who can thrown combos will eat him up.

Itaum throws fast combos. This is what the bigger guys cannot get out of the way of.

Someone like Usyk could just reset Itauma all night long and make him miss because he has the LEGS to do it.

 

I think he may have came knowing he couldn’t win, but it was a 2.5mil payday for a dude who, if honest with himself, knows he’s shot. Just following the time honored tradition in boxing of an old fighter “selling” his name for use on a young guy’s resume by taking a fight he knows he can’t win. Joe Louis did it. Larry Holmes did it. It’s common.

I bet there’s a number that would make Chisora change his mind and do it. Maybe 5mil? Maybe 6? There’s something that would make him say “screw it, I’ll go rough up this kid see what happens”. What we know is that $2mil wasn’t enough because that’s what he was offered.

 

Guilty. (Although I don’t think it was a dive).

 

that Fight Film guy makes Matthew Fouts look sane and normal by comparison which says something
