    Whyte certainly looked leaner than he has previously yet was still heavy. Looks like he has gained muscle and dropped some fat.

    I think Whyte looked overweight and not good at all. Makes me wonder if he will actually try use speed and movement as if so the extra bulk won't help him. I think he is about 1st over what would be his best fighting weight.

    He and Tibbs are probably concerned about being bullied on the inside.

    Defo think Whyte has come into heavy I mean they are both too heavy but a slow plodder like Browne isn't going to be as bothered. We have seen Whyte have to try and box from range and be hurt late in fights. I've said I thought Browne might get a stoppage - im a bit more convinced now. Dylans the better boxer but the weights probably going to slow him down and sap him of energy and he's never looked the fittest to me.

    Maybe so but his best chance of winning is fighting from the outside and having little raids on the inside. He can't afford to come in the inside and hold his feet.

    I think Browne will stop him inside 6. Whyte looks quite nervous and going back to the Helenius fight, he was rocked a few times and Browne has power!

    Whyte has the most to lose here which is why I give him credit for taking the fight. Browne for me is going to cause him huge problems.

    Just saw the weigh-in, Whyte has absolutely packed on muscle. He may be heavier now but he looks much better.

    Whyte doesn’t look any leaner to me compared to the chisora fight...does look to have added a few lbs of muscle though, maybe he’s marginally leaner.

    Don’t think that’s going to help him though tbh...

    Think he has added bit muscle but think he wouod be better off half stone even stone lighter especially this fight as for me it's Browne ko or whyte points.

    Whyte on points 11/10...Brown ko/tko 4/1....got to be worth a punt on Brown.

    Some KO, but I really hope Browne is ok. He looks to be conscious.
