    I have no doubts that pre-2017 Povetkin would have lengthened Whyte.

    At 41 years old it could be tight.

    If Tyson and his dad don't gatecrash Eddie's back garden and offer AJ and Whyte out to a bareknuckle this event is a failure.

    I mean Smith can easily land a huge punch on Alvarez, Persoon has like 20% chance of winning and Whyte is still an unknown after his last terrible performance and departing from his former trainer

    AJ would run inside Eddie's house and lock the doors, while peeking through the blinds.

    Barry's house is in Essex....where my son in law is from. I told them his mum should show up tonight. I'm surprised there isn't any crowd at all...surely they could get a couple hundred people around the garden, safely distanced and wearing masks. Could use straws to drink beer.

    I'd imagine it is a risk vs reward thing. How much are you going to make with those ticket sales vs the liability?

    I hear you though, I think it could be safely done.

    The televised fights this week in Downtown Tulsa Oklahoma were smack in the middle of downtown. Not a soul in sight!
    Jeeze, bring in even just a hundred fans and the atmosphere would improve immensely. Could be done safely.

    Should be bombs away but could come down to who gets in to a better rhythm first, Whyte has the better jab but Povetkin hits harder.

    I’m expecting Povetkin to rock whyte early, all depends on who whyte has in his corner now to help him get back in control behind that jab as it’s no longer tibbs

    if whyte recovers he can get a ud or a possible late stoppage depending on how old Povetkin has gotten
