    Mate, check my post on the first page of that thread, I get the prediction nailed on.... arguably with the help of hindsight though hahaha.

    I’ll let you off. I said Whyte 7/8. One round off!

    I might go back and edit all my previous fight predictions and be a false oracle

    Haha I didn’t even look back until then. You said Browne by KO or whyte by points if I remember correctly?

    Yeah mate, I got it proper wrong. Totally underestimated Whyte and overestimated Browne.

    And Joe Joyce (on his pro debut) did a better job on Ian Lewison than Whyte. But you've got to give Hearn credit as a promoter I suppose, he's managed to build Whyte up into something he's not, some kind of world beater and plenty of people are lapping it up.

    Some people seriously think he could beat Wilder ffs:lol:

    That's true. I think most people didnt Brown would just stand and swing incredibly crudely.

    Anyway the point is Whyte and Shades of Ali have very different styles but are not on different levels as Hearn suggests.

    What do people expect?! Here are some facts we are all aware of:

    1) Boxing promoters are always going to big up their fighters/lie.
    2) Eddie Hearn is a proper greasy snake, who'd say and/or do anything - sorry, make his fighters do anything - for an extra few bob.

    Personally I think Hughie would stop Whyte late on after boxing his head off.
