    Who has hunter beaten to deserve a title shot?
    A draw with Povetkin?

    You guys are ****ing nuts. I like Povetkin more than Whyte, but Whyte was clobbering Povetkin until Povetkin got a lucky hit in.

    I just wish Povetkin had gotten some lucky hits against AJ. Povetkin was actually doing pretty great against AJ and would've won if he had been a few years younger.

    Anyway, Povetkin is shot and will lose the rematch.

    In my opinion, Whyte's only chance of winning is squeaking a split decision in a dull fight. But I just think unless he comes in really light. Is gonna get caught again.

    I am going to assume your trolling, because if not then... damn.

    Only an idiot would think that shot was lucky. It was the best boxing punch in the match by far and it won the match.

    I just think whyte got too comfortable. As soon as povetkin was able to land his jab before he set up the knockout, whyte should've known he was too close for comfort. I think his chances of winning the rematch aren't small but his chances of loosing are bigger.

    Nonsense. It was setuped and prepared stuff during long rounds.

    By what means? He is old over the hill, everyone does know this even before his fight vs A.J and he is small for modern HW.
    He isn't shot is you by this mean prone to concussions etc alike.
    Also Whyte didn't had landed on him anything properly. Only naive ppl might think that concussed or half concussed guy might continue to fight so cold and precise. For average fans damage critera is only if guy fall down, then he had been damn so damaged that after this was capable to fight smoothly, calm and precise.

    Cool stuff yes.
    Well setuped stuff, Povetikn is A+++ level skills and despite old, if he landed he might KO anyone. He is precise if you allow this and he punch properly. Good body mechanics.

    You do know how boxers train, right?
    How can a trap/shot/combination that would have been practiced a million times in training be lucky?

    Don't talk whet.

    the extra month will probably have helped Whyte but it still has a strong whiff of Price Thompson 2 about it.

    Whyte gets stopped again and probably won’t get a chance to drop Povetkin this time around

    Will be learn from the defeat or is he still convinced that he would beat Povetkin 9/10 times?

    From that quote I am inferring he is still looking past Povetkin...

    We're talking about an Olympic gold medallist boxer versus a guy who learned to fight by getting beaten up by his older brothers and having street fights.
