Apart from some casuals, who would actually buy Whyte - Chisora 2 over Warrington - Frampton?

    I should of also said I like movement and speed as well as technical ability.
    As you say tho...each their own.
    I prefer a Carl Frampton or Taylor any day of the week.

    How? They generally only watch fighters who have already made their living. They do nothing for the small hall shows

    I would.

    I'm not going to order either as I've made my opinions on the current PPV scam quite clear but if I had to choose between the 2 I'd rather watch a fight between 2 HW's with a warrior's mentality than a 12 round 'chess match' snoozefest between 2 dwarves with the personality of a damp cloth.

    I'll absolutely be buying Whyte/Chisora over Frampton vs Warrington.

    That's not to say that that the latter won't be a good scrap, it's just I think Whyte/Chisora will be spectacular. Both are right now top 10 heavies, have genuine beef and the first bout was absolutely insane.

    Also you can bet your bottom dollar that the card for the heavies will be far superior. Let's face it, Warren's undercards are just awful compared to Matchroom. Frampton is also known for not wanting to spend on his undercards hence the low numbers for his fight vs Quigg.

    I think Frampton vs Warrington won't break 100k, where as I think Whyte/Chisora will easily do 500k.

    Whyte- Chisora all day long but that's not discrediting the Warrington-Frampton fight.

    The clash of cards is unnecessary though, it's not as if both channels/promoters haven't got enough upcoming PPV's.

    Absolutely and the same with PPV money - it all goes to the grubs and does nothing for grass roots boxing

    I think the very fact you’re signed up and post regularly on a boxing forum and post on subjects regarding all levels of boxing means that you have more than just a casual interest in the sport. So it’s unfair imo of throwing the ‘casual’ label around if someone favours Whyte v Chisora over Warrington v Frampton. Guaranteed we’ll all watch both main events albeit at a later hour on YouTube and be commenting on them on here the following day.

    I’ll personally be picking the smaller lads though.

    Warrington vs Frampton is a much better fight. Plus, we have already seen Whyte vs Chisora.

    I like the possibility of a KO in my fights and on that basis Josh Warrington is a difficult watch given his lack of power.
