He shouldn’t take this fight imo. Not only did he win as legitimately as you can get, he’s now fighting without a doubt weaker than last time after the illness, as he was pretty rough with it.. Would’ve been a good time to retire imo. Hope he levels Whyte again though, just for the injustice of having to go through it all again
If he loses again to a 40+ guy who spent the last 2 months in the hospital I would hope he reconsiders his career choices. I don't like seeing the same matchup a bunch of times in a row. Usyk, Joyce, Wilder, Ruiz if he's game, Ortiz, and several other new and interesting matchups are out there for one or both of them.
I fear for my boy Sasha but he’s got that Russian pride,man of his word. Hope he finishes Dillianabol once and for all.
Could go either way. Povetkin might have Whyte's number. At this ten seconds, I lean toward Whyte fighting a more careful fight and outboxing Povetkin on a close decision.
I like the winner of this to fight Wilder. Hoping that is Povetkin, purely because knocking someone out cold in an eliminator should not result in a rematch for the KO loser. I think Wilder smashes Whyte fairly quickly, and loses to Sacha.
The delay should help Whyte. Dillian more time to recover, while Pov is just that much older and recovering from wuhflu. For the above and other reasons I don't think this fight s/be made. Whyte should fight someone top 10 and closer to his age. Pov should have a good retirement fight - maybe for the SCW (Bridger) title.
