Bellew Confirming Whyte Wasn’t Injured

Bit of a stretch. Could easily argue he understands why Whyte chose not to reschedule the fight and go straight into the Fury fight.

 

He definitely wasn't injured. One of the most blatant ducks I can remember.

 

Honestly have no idea how anyone can sit and listen to a Bellew interview let alone a Bellew IFL interview.

 

Hahaha well said

 

Whyte wasn't injured in my opinion. So instead of fighting a very poor opponent in a tick over fight he enforced the mandatory as soon as WBC made it official.

 

What makes Wallin a “very poor” opponent? At worst, Wallin is an unknown quantity.

Wallin is clearly superior to the likes of Martin, Takam, Breazeale and Molina.

 

That whole interview is a shitshow and a bit embarassing really. Its aged really well.

 

Because Fury wasn't great against him - that's Mitch logic!

 

He's two most notable wins are against Brezeale and beating a guy on points who Dimitrenko KOed in the first round.

A prime Takam is a superior boxer. Martin and Wallin would be a close fight (I'd favour Martin who is nothing special) however I agree he is better than Molina and Brezeale.

Whyte has already beaten numerous better boxers in Povetkin, Parker, Chisora, Rivas and Helenius. To suggest that whyte ducked Wallin to push for the fight against Fury would indicate that people of this opinion view Wallin a tougher fight for Whyte then Fury (which I disagree with).

 

Unsure if people saw it as a tougher fight, but potentially quite a gruelling one. We don't know that much about Wallin really, but based on the Fury performance he's pretty tough and a bit dirty. Given their respective styles, it's the sort of fight that could've easily turned into a brawl which would've put miles on the clock for Whyte and potential injury. They knew the money (and opportunity) from the Fury fight was far bigger so probably didn't want to jeopardise that.

 

Are people genuinely saying Wallin is better than Takam? Log out.

 

Wallin getting into a brawl rather than to box Whyte would end the fight even quicker for a KO win for Whyte. Wallin being pillow fisted would not add miles to Whytes clock. Whyte has been wars against guy who actually pack a punch in Povetkin, Chisora and Rivas.
