    Real tough one to call. Is Dillian on track for that world title shot? How does Parker respond to his first defeat vs a top HW? This could well turn out to be a barn-burner.

    Im siding with Whyte UD/decision but only just, and thats mainly because I want Dillian to earn the respect he is due.

    One thing I know for sure, Whyte ain't stupid. He sidestepped Ortiz like he was the plague.

    Whilst I'm not high on Parker I think he's still too good for Whyte who I think is on the level of Matt Skelton.

    I think it's going to be close. Whyte will be the one coming forward throwing punches in volume while Parker will be the one boxing and moving and throwing less but landing the more quality shots on the easy to hit Whyte. If it goes to the cards I could see some controversy as some will favour Whyte's volume while others will favour Parker's quality.

    But I think Parker will do enough to win a tough fight on the cards. His durability will be key, he can take Whyte's best shots but Whyte's fragile chin will emerge once again in this competitive fight. Yes Parker isn't a big puncher, but neither is Chisora and Chisora had Whyte badly hurt. Once Parker hurts him, Whyte will be more hesitant to come forward and once that happens Parker will take over and finish the stronger.

    Such a tough one to call. I had jaded Chisora beating Whyte by a round but can't really argue the result. I thought Whyte looked average against a very shot Helenius and the Lucas Browne result is tarnished by the inactivity, shocking physical condition and revelation Browne was on depression medication.

    As for Parker, where's his power gone? No sign of it at all above NZ domestic small show level. Struggled with Takam, Ruiz and Fury and although I hated the negative jab/run performance, I expected Fury to get the decision in the UK. As for the AJ fight, I think the Italian ref hurt Joshua's chances of a stoppage more than Parkers.

    Both are possibly quite overrated but it makes for an interesting match up and this far out I'm leaning with Parker by decision. Props to them both for taking the fight though.

    Totally understand most of your post but I disagree with the 'overrated'. Each to their own.

    Whyte easy. Parker will end up with more than 6 losses and big amount of wins over journeyman when his boxing career is done.

    Got a feeling Whyte will get a close hometown decision.
